Slamming and geocaching in Vienna

Yeah, it was time for another slam swapper meeting. This year it was in Vienna. :) It was my 5th time that I was flying somewhere. The last time was 2008 and also to Vienna. I was happy that it wasn't a long flight.

We stayed those days at my pal Christina and her boyfriend Christian. :) Thank you again, that we were able to stay at your place. 

On our first day (Thu) we explored the city with geocaching. We didn't want to see the normal places as we've seen those in 2008 already. So we made two multis. One was in the multi that started close to the Stephansdom. It showed us some cosy backyards. We were surprise where it brought us. And on our little tour we also met some nice geocachers from Poland. :) 

You've got mail

Hehe, and as I'm a penpaller I had to do the "You've got mail" cache. ;) Here you can see what it was:

In the afternoon we made a multi in the park of Schönbrunn. Last time in Vienna we only saw the castle and with the multi we explored the park a bit more and it was very nice. :)

On Friday we met the girls from the slamming world. It was so nice to see them again and we were walking around in the city and trying to explore the town with shopping for crafting things. ;)

Geocaching event

On Saturday we started the day with a geocaching event. There were some geocachers from Norway who wanted to meet some people from Vienna or other travellers. It was nice to meet geocachers from Vienna and other countries. Sadly it rained all of the time. :( After the meeting we were driving to the central cemetary of Vienna. There we met the slam girls again. As it was still raining, we were mostly spending the day inside of a restaurant and at a café. Of course we were slamming. ;) And in the evening we visited a very nice restaurant on one of the close little mountains. I was surprised to see histamine free wine on their card (sadly they were too expensive :( ).

Slovakian cache

Lost place cache

And our last day we spent with Christina and Christian. They drove with us to Slovakia and Hungary as we wanted to get the souvenirs for that countries. :) In Slovakia we were still able to buy some sweets. :) And in Hungary we visited a lost place, the border between Slovakia and Hungary. That was a scary place. And we looked for another cache in Hungary which hadn't a container. :( I've never found a cache with only a logbook, so I was very surprised. On our way back to the airport we visited some ancient roman places which was very interesting and we made a break in a typical "Heurigen". :)

It was a really lovely little holiday. But it felt like we didn't have enough time for everything.
