Geocache Description:

"Double Dutch" is an English expression meaning language that is gibberish or hard to understand. If you are unfamiliar with Double Dutch, please refer to GC40V3M for a quick lesson. This puzzle is slightly more difficult and involves Double Dutch with a twist.

The cache is NOT at the listed coordinates. It is hidden in one of the most beautiful and well-maintained parks in Pretoria. Best access to the cache is from the street side but be sure to take a stroll through the park while you are there. It is a regular so there is plenty of room for trackables.

You will have to decipher the twisted Double Dutch below in order to obtain the final coordinates:

THE FOXTROT IS A BEAUTIFUL OLD-FASHIONED BALLROOM DANCE. THE BRAVO AWARD IS GIVEN TO HOTELS WHO STILL HOLD BALLROOM DANCES RATHER THAN GOLF TOURNAMENTS. BALLROOM COSTUMES ARE MUCH PRETTIER THAN THE BORING UNIFORMS WORN BY GOLF PLAYERS LIKE JULIET AND ROMEO. ALPHA MALES LIKE TO PLAY GOLF IN LIMA BUT SIERRA AND VICTOR ARE GOING TO INDIA WITH ROMEO TO PLAY THERE FOR A CHANGE.

QUEBEC IS WHERE ROMEO WAS BORN AND ALSO THE PLACE WHERE HE LEARNT TO DANCE THE TANGO. UNFORTUNATELY, A NOISY ECHO SURROUNDS ROMEO EVERY TIME HE DANCES SO ROMEO TRIES TO AVOID DANCING AT ALL COSTS.

"HAVE YOU TRIED THE FOXTROT?" ASKED SIERRA. "BRAVO TO YOU IF YOU CAN GET RID OF THAT ANNOYING ECHO!"

"GOLF IN LIMA SOUNDS LIKE A BETTER IDEA TO ME!" HE SAID.

"THE FOXTROT IS VICTOR'S FAVOURITE DANCE. AND IT HELPED HIM TO LOSE A FEW KILOS TOO!" SHE QUICKLY REPLIED. "CHARLIE EARNED A BRAVO AWARD AFTER VICTOR PERSUADED HIM TO STOP BEING AN ALPHA MALE WHO ONLY PLAYS GOLF. HE BECAME AN EXPERT AT THE FOXTROT AND WILL ALWAYS BE GRATEFUL TO VICTOR FOR HIS FAME AND FORTUNE. THE KILOS WOULD FALL OFF YOU TOO IF YOU WOULD ONLY TRY IT!"

THE NEXT DAY SIERRA AND VICTOR FLEW TO INDIA WITH ROMEO. MIKE, ROMEO'S FRIEND WHO LIVES IN NEW DELHI, MET THEM AT THE AIRPORT. THEY DANCED WITH JOY AT SEEING EACH OTHER BUT ALSO ATTRACTED A LOT OF SUSPICIOUS ATTENTION WHEN IT CAUSED A LOUD ECHO IN THE AIRPORT BUILDING.

"BRAVO! I'M SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU THAT I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE ECHO!" ROMEO PROCLAIMED, "I HAVE JUST DECIDED THAT NOVEMBER WILL BE THE MONTH THAT I LEARN TO DANCE THE FOXTROT. FORGET ABOUT GOLF! IN FACT, FORGET ABOUT GOLF AND JULIET!" ROMEO DECLARED, "I NO LONGER WISH TO BE AN ALPHA MALE WHO ONLY PLAYS GOLF IN LIMA."

"DON'T BE TOO HASTY, ROMEO," SAID VICTOR. "REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DANCE THE TANGO? AND WHAT ABOUT THE EXPENSIVE NEW UNIFORM YOU BOUGHT SPECIALLY FOR THIS GOLF TRIP?"

"QUEBEC IS WHERE I NEED TO GO!" SAID ROMEO. "I WILL RETURN TO MY BIRTHPLACE AND DANCE THE TANGO - EVEN IF THERE IS AN ECHO!"

"OH, ROMEO... " SIGHED HIS FRIEND.

"ROMEO, I THINK YOU SHOULD BEGIN WITH THE FOXTROT . THEN YOU CAN STILL PLAY GOLF AND GET SOME USE OUT OF YOUR NEW UNIFORM TOO" VICTOR EXPLAINED.

"I WANT TO GET RID OF THE ANNOYING ECHO WHEN I DANCE BUT I DO LOVE PLAYING GOLF..." ROMEO MUMBLED QUIETLY TO HIMSELF.

AFTER SOME CONSIDERATION, ROMEO REALISED THAT HE WOULD ALWAYS BE AN ALPHA MALE AND THAT CHARLIE'S BRAVO AWARD WAS NOT IMPORTANT TO HIM. INSTEAD OF DANCING, HE WAS GOING TO TEACH VICTOR TO BE AN ALPHA MALE LIKE HIM.

"OK, SO CAN WE GO AND PLAY SOME GOLF NOW?" ASKED SIERRA. "LET'S FORGET ABOUT BRAVO AWARDS FOR HOTELS. AND ECHOES TOO!"

"I CAN'T WAIT TO PLAY GOLF IN MY NEW UNIFORM AND I REALLY WANT TO FORGET ABOUT THAT IRRITATING ECHO WHEN I DANCE, SO LET'S GO!" ROMEO SAID.

WHILST ON THEIR WAY TO PLAY, ROMEO TOLD HIS FRIENDS THAT HE HAD COME TO THE MEANINGFUL REALISATION THAT GOLF AND JULIET WERE THE TWO MOST IMPORTANT THINGS IN HIS LIFE. BRAVO!
