Geocache Description:

This is a quick and easy cache under a bench in a large beautifull park that is extremely busy especialy over weekends. Take some time and enjoy the area and the other caches in close proximity. CIA stealth is essential, maybe bring a magazine or book to hide your activities :)


While Paris is begging tourists to say it with selfies rather than locks, Pretoria is inviting couples to declare their everlasting commitment on a new ‘bridge of love. Love birds are able to attach a pad lock to a specially designed bridge at Magnolia Dell. The bridge was inspired by Paris’ famous Pont des Arts, where couples attach specially engraved locks to declare their everlasting love.

While the tradition only started as recently as 2008, the bridge has become something of a pilgrimage site for romantics and now sports thousands and thousands of locks. 
Sadly, Parisian authorities have recently been begging tourists to refrain from the amorous tradition, as the combined weight is causing major damage to the aging bridge.

Apart from Paris, Pretoria will be joining a number of other cities around the globe with bridges specially designated to those with a penchant for pad lock romance. They include Hohenzollern Bridge in Cologne (Germany), Puente de Isabel II in Seville (Spain) as well as London's Tower Bridge and Millenium Bridge.  

The cache is NOT located at the love bridge but underneath a bench further down stream.
