Winter op de Bol

Eindelijk, hij bloeit!

Presentations, networking, drinks - nice plans for the future. Too bad their company\'s political structure forces the termination of our company\'s involvement. Sad feelings \'on the floor\', on both sides. Let\'s see if we can come up with a creative idea to prolong the relation... ;-)

Nice geocache, in between the lanes of the A12 highway. Geocaching is a relatively new outdoor activity. It\'s the quest for so called geocaches, waterproof containers like ammo-boxes filled with a log and some \'treasure\'; trinkets and gimmicks. The coordinates of such a geocache are published online (www.geocaching.com). So all you have to do is grab the coordinates, feed them in your handheld GPS receiver and find the cache. Easier said than done... A few weeks ago we went to France, where we needed climbing ropes, abseil gear and a raft to log a cache. This one was easy: a nice hike, lovely weather.

Wonderful area, second cache today. In the middle of the \'Green heart\', a large agricultural and recreational natural environment, surrounded by larger cities like Rotterdam, Den Haag, Amsterdam and Utrecht.

A nice cache from Prof Lupardi, dangling underneath an obsolete bridge. We visited three of his caches today, \'Boompjes\', Tuf-tuf\' and \'Eindpunt\'. His callsign, a yellow ribbon, tells a geocacher the cache is near.
