Geschenk von ANIKA

GOAL: Visit every European capital city, and return to San José, California. 

[COPY & REPLACEMENT TB: The original "Anika" has been missing now for a few months, and all attempts at retrieving it and finding out where it is have failed. PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THIS BUG IF YOU DON'T PLAN TO MOVE IT TO ANOTHER CACHE ON ITS TRAVELS WITHIN A FEW WEEKS. This is NOT collectible! If you find the original (a simple bottle opener, with "ANIKA" written on it with a blue sharpie), please notify me through Geocaching.com.]

THERE IS AN ACTION ASSOCIATED WITH THIS TRAVEL BUG; PLEASE PARTICIPATE! 

The name means "Gift from Anika" in German. She gave me this TB for my birthday, in honor of our friendship and love of geocaching! "Anika" wants to visit every European capital city. If you are not able to get her to the next capital city, keep her near transportation centers to encourage her travels.

Your task once you move her to Europe, is to have a drink —doesn't have to be alcohol!— with a friend. (Hence the bottle opener mascot.) Use "Anika" to open your beverage & celebrate friendship! Please take pictures of yourself in the city! Tell me what the "national drink" of the country is! Tell me about yourself & your friend. If you are especially ambitious, poke a hole in your bottle cap & string it on the chain. Then move "Anika" along.

Please see what city she needs to get to next, and when all the capitals have been visited (I will update this list periodically as she moves around the world), please get her back to San Jose, California. Thank you & happy travels!
