About This Item

That´s me and my twin brother ;-)

Hello, I´d like to introduce myself.I´m the little sandman, well known as "das Sandmaennchen". Perhaps you have heard of me,for example in the following ryhme: "Sea-sand does the sandman bring sleep to end the day He dusts the children´s eyes with sand and steals their dreams away." I have been working in this business for more than 40 years. In 2005 I had some vacation in Svalbard but after arriving at home I went back to business. A couple of weeks ago I discoverd a twin brother and we decided to share the work. He joined me on a business trip to the Egyptian desert were I was looking for some special sand. Offcourse we did some sightseeing and visited a nearby pyramid. Suddenly our guide shouted "Jalla! Jalla!" and very soon I was alone in the desert. Now, I hope that you can help me on my way home to Dresden/Germany. Your Little Sandman

Hi,

after reading terrorbytes discover message I decided to reactivate and relocate my TB just to point out that there is a little guy who needs some assistance to get out of the Egyptian desert.
I appreciate every move!

Best regards

Found this one in the Dahshur Pyramids Multi-Cache
http://coord.info/GC1JH0W

This traveller has been reported missing and the cache disabled.

I went with some friends today and not only found the lost cache but this traveller still in place and waiting to move on.
I left it where it was since I am not ravelling too far in the next few days.
One day I will go back and pick it up to take to Bahrain but for now she is in......

Hi there...

Regarding this travel bug, it unfortanately disappeared from the Dahshur cache...
We were at the site last weekend and obviously were eager to find out the place where the cache had been replaced...
However we couldn't find it at all while searching with 4 people for it with use of the spoiler picture we had... 😟

No other conclusion can rest then that the cache has been ripped. Probably some locals saw it being hid there and especially with some special coins in there it must have looked too attractive to leave alone...

Can you please get it off the Dahshur site? Really too bad that it got lost this way of course...

Thanks, Remco

I joined my twin brother on a business trip to the Egyptian desert where we were looking for some special sand. Offcourse we did some sightseeing and visited a nearby pyramid. Suddenly our guide shouted "Jalla! Jalla!" which means "Hurry up" and very soon I was left alone in the desert. 😮
Now, I have to wait for a friendly geocacher who is willing to help me out of the heat.

Regards

Your little Sandman
