Geocache Description:

If you are a shop-a-holic, this is the cache for you!



Note that the parking fee is now R10-00 even if you just pop in and out. Note the free parking area coordinates under additional way-points. Otherwise, take your time and take the beloved ones for a quick cuppa.

The cache is placed on the top parking level of a popular shopping mall.  It is a 300 ml sealed plastic container hiding in a bag. Enough space for a few geocoins or TB's. You can park right next to the cache, as these parking spaces hardly ever fill up, except on very busy days like the day before Christmas. It is actually better to find the cache on busy times, because the likelihood of being spotted by a security guard is much lower.
Be extremely careful when you are retrieving the container. If it is dropped, it will be gone!

Extreme stealth will be required if you do not want to be bothered by the security guards, especially the ones on their big wheeler patrol goggas. They can be very nosy. Rather skip trying to find the cache and come back again.

Suggested strategy:  It is suggested that once you know where the cache might be, reverse into a parking bay next to the location, which should shield you very well from any prying eyes. If the big wheeler gogga creepes up on you, have an answer ready like: "Waiting to meet someone for a cuppa".  Opening the boot of the car will also help.

This cache would be ideal for a night find.
