Thursday, May 1st is Worker's Day in Europe - hence no work! I don't work on Thursdays anyway, but I had Friday off too...so it gives me a 5 day break.
May day originally looked like a day of helping Jan studying and hanging out on the balcony (we finally have nice weather). Around 5 I convinced Jan that we needed an ice cream break. There is an Italian gelateria about 10 minutes down the street. So we headed off. I had Rafaello (coconut) and Jan had yucky fruit flavors (lime and something peach like). Then we sat down at Zahringen Platz (a little square with benches) to enjoy.
After a while, we saw Jan's ex roomate and his girlfriend. It turns out that they were about to start a Geo Cache adventure and it started at Zahringen Platz. Of course we joined in.
Geo Caching is using GPS to move from one location to another. At each location there is a little riddle/puzzle to solve, and you use the information to get the coordinates for the next location. It is like a complicated scavenger hunt.
So 2 hours and a tour of Zahringen later, we found the cache and now we are hooked!
We are trying to find a cheap GPS machine.
