i had the day off today and decided to take my camera down to the bay to take some photos of the boats coming in and out of the harbour, and snag some caches along the way! i did a little bit of geocaching when i was in Japan this month - mostly just taking a quick peek while in gardens and stuff like that, but i did bring a few trackables home! one in particular had a specific goal to get to australia, so I snagged that one and took it back with me.

the first two caches I found today were super easy - the first one was at a dog park, which is where i left the little shiba trackable that wanted to come to australia. the second one was another park a short walk away that had the most bizarre cache container i've ever seen in my life - just a computer mouse? tied to a branch, hidden in a hollow log. absolutely fascinated by it. regardless, both easy finds and i got to offload my trackers and some fun little swaps and trades since the containers were mostly empty.

last stop was revisiting a cemetary that i had to mark DNF twice now. i missed it the first time around, the cache itself had disappeared the second time around, but i did manage to grab it this time! nice to mark off a frowny face on my map for a change. the cemetary has this lovely florist and cafe open through the day as well, so i capped off the day with a walk through the memorial gardens and some ice cream. super nice day! wish i'd stayed out for longer and grabbed some more caches by the bay, but it was getting real hot by mid afternoon and the aircon of my car called to me
