At this time we are preparing our geocaching tour for tomorrow. The challenge is to find 7 different cache types on one single day http://coord.info/GC2HNX7 . The regular cache types like Traditional, Multi or Puzzle Caches are superabound, and we also have many Earthcaches in the region. But Letterboxes, Wherigos and Virtual or Webcam Caches are rare. So it took us a while to find a set of caches which are close together but also fulfill the requirements of seven different cache types. Can we take the challenge? We will see tomorrow!

In November 2009 we first started geocaching due to our neighbour @geoyoshi. During 2010, we infected a lot of people with the geocaching virus, so we were never alone on a geocaching tour. We placed our first own geocache and we sent out our first own Travel Bug. Here are some impressions from the geocaching year 2010.

Kurz vor Weihnachten hatte ich einen Gutschein von Fotostadt gewonnen. Gleich kam mir die Idee, zwei meiner Lieblingsbilder aus San Francisco auf Leinwand drucken zu lassen. Die tief blauen Bilder passen hervorragend auf die gelbe Wand. Ich bin von der Qualität der Leinwände echt begeistert (und natürlich auch von meinen tollen Motiven ;-) ). Der breite Keilrahmen gibt dem ganzen Werk mehr Perspektive, und man hat so ein bißchen das Gefühl man würde durch ein Fenster direkt aufs Meer schauen. Die Leinwand selber ist aus glattem, weichem Material (und nicht mit rauher, strukturierter Oberfläche, wie ich zuerst befürchtete) und die Farben sind satt und intensiv. Eine wirklich schöne und ausgefallene Urlaubserinnerung hängt nun an der Wand!

Today, on our last (half) day in San Francisco, we spontaneously decided to take the cable car one more time ;-) We hang on a Powell and Hyde Cable Car on Union Square, and hopped off on Lombard Street. This piece of street is quite steep and impressive!

On our fifth (and last) day in San Francisco, we take the bus to Golden Gate Park. More than a hundred geocaches are hidden here by the way ;-) In the west, the Park borders on the beach, so we get a close look at the pacific again. The sun was shining all day and it was as warm as yesterday, but we had a few light clouds today.

Today on Thanksgiving we had the most beautiful weather at all. Sun was shining on a spotless sky, and it was so warm that we had to take off our jackets. We took the bus line 38, which took us directly from downtown San Francisco to the west coast. At the ruins of the Sutro Baths, we get an impressive view on the pacific. We walked along the trail to Land's End, where we had a nice view on the Golden Gate Bridge again.

On this sunny day, we decided to climb on Telegraph Hill and enjoy the view on San Francisco. There were stairs, and another stairs, and yet even more stairs. Finally we reached the foot of the tower. Unfortunately, the observation desk of the tower is closed due to renovation. But still the look down from the hill is amazing.

If you pass the gate to Chinatown, it's like entering a complete new world in San Francisco. The style of the houses, the street signs, the colors, the smell, the sound, all is suddenly changed. Only the cable cars and the steep hills remember you that you are still in SF ;-)
