1000 Cache Milestone Coin and Tag Set

This Saturday was another day of errands, some planned and some unplanned. We had to make two stops downtown, one task was to select buttons for my vest, the other was to buy a specific imported piece of meat for next week’s meal. Since we were out and about, we also decided to do our weekly shopping in town. We finished our errands, had a light snack to eat (a delicious pulled beef sandwich which brought our tastebuds back to Italy!) and headed home. Since we were in town, I wanted to stop for at least one cache, but I made one wrong turn… And we all know how that goes in Malaysia - one wrong turn and suddenly you’re headed in the opposite direction for 10 minutes. I didn’t let that stop my plan however, as I had a backup in mind, which was this stash. We’ve driven by so many times and because of the layout of the road, we never really managed to stop by here. Today though, I did a bit of whacky getting here, but eventually we found our way and navigated to GZ. There, I knew from a distance where the stash would be hidden, and parked within 3 feet of the container. We hopped off and I quickly snatched the stash within seconds, taking it back to the vehicle. Laura noted that the building behind is really large; Not the train station this stash is dedicated to, but the apartment building behind. Not as big as M Vertica though! I had a bit of trouble getting the logsheet out, as the tiny piece of tape stuck to the inside of the container, but eventually I got it out. I stamped our nick into the logsheet at and snapped a photo with one of our newest TBs, one which would unfortunately not fit into this cache. I put everything back together and replaced the stash as I found it. From here, it was a short drive towards our regular grocery store for a 90 minute speed run of our shopping list. This is the only stash we visited today and our 8689th overall find while on earth!

The last stash visited today was this Kampung Baru welcome stash, which we unfortunately didn’t find, as the stash was simply missing. I had not refreshed the listing, which Laura had live, so she knew that the effort was wasted, but I spent a good 15 minutes searching from every single angle before she called me back to give up. Clearly the stash is here no more, nonetheless this was a nice stop before our dinner date in a really cool new district, which included a Book of Records tallest mural in the country, which had an Adventure Lab that we visited after this DNF. 

Glad we ended the evening on such a good note!

TB visit.

Reality hit once again, and after a long week of work, we had our weekend to ourselves. We agreed that weekends area never long enough. 

Yesterday was a rest day, and today we had the usual shopping + an errand to run in town. I decided long ago that this would be a perfect opportunity to find a size regular cache, which let us visit another part of town for a nice trip. Along the way, we came to the royal palace to visit the place where the king lives. Both the virtual, and the nonexistent traditional cache.

I was here months ago, in the middle of the night, as I was all too excited for an FTF. This was just after we had bought out bike, and were settling in to Malaysia. I got here fast, and saw the busy busy square. Lots of locals here at night, and no certainty where to search.

Today we returned after successfully finding fabric for a wedding vest, and after realizing where we were, it was a given that we would return to GZ. There, without opening the listing, without reading a hint, I just instinctively went for it. Some caches just get burned into your brain. This was one of them, and I’m happy that with this TB we could find the turtle house boat nano!
