                                                               Short Meet & Greet at The Pillars of Hercules

 

                                                

                                                                                                                                                                   

Vader&zoon from The Netherlands are visiting Gibraltar. We are always keen on meeting fellow cachers (local or visitors), swapping TB's and exchanging idea's and experiences. Therefore we will be organizing another Event, a short Meet & Greet. It will be held at the square of The Pillars of Hercules from 14.00-14.30 (or longer when we are having fun :-) 

The Pillars of Hercules are said to be two promontories at the eastern end of the Strait of Gibraltar. The northern pillar is the Rock of Gibraltar , and the southern pillar has been identified as one of two peaks: Jebel Moussa (Musa), in Morocco or Mount Hacho (held by Spain), near the city of Ceuta (the Spanish exclave on the Moroccan coast). The pillars are fabled to have been set there by Heracles (Hercules) as a memorial to his labour of seizing the cattle of the three-bodied giant Geryon.

We can be found at the top platform near the monument. Hopefully it will not be too busy at this great point of view. We will try to have our GPS around the neck for recognition. Of course we will take Covid 19 into account and all participants of this Event will have to keep their distance to one another. We are looking forward to see who will be meeting us! Please bring your Trackables and Woodies!

Challenge:                                     

We will bring some typical Dutch delicacies for you to taste: stroopwafels (see picture). Can you bring some of your own local delicacies for us to try in return? Would be great!
