More relaying
Tonight after work we had to go and pick up a fireguard I'd claimed on Freecycle for a friend who needs one, which involved driving to Bradford and rooting around behind someone's bins to find where she'd left it, then trying not to laugh at the idea that her neighbours probably thought we were burglars. As you do.
And while we were there, we decided to get rid of the Travel Bug that we found on Sunday because I felt like we were holding a relay baton and had to get rid of it quickly as possible. So we went Geocaching again, this time in a park, keeping an eye out for 'geomuggles' (innocent passers by), making sure they didn't spot C poking around in a bush like a madwoman.
And did we find the cache? We did.
And guess what was in it? Another Travel Bug...
This innocent looking plastic frog (it's upside down in the photo, sorry, and the camera battery died before I could turn it over) originated in America, travelled to Canada and spent a while travelling around Australia before moving to the park in Bradford that we found it in. It's travelled over 23,000 miles, and now it's in our kitchen!
Re-spect.

Moving hands, action shot. C can't open the box fast enough. We knew she was a complete nerd over geocaching, but! :D
Totally LOL'd at the re-spect remark. Indeed. Burning question: where is this bug going? Its so well traveled, any mere cache just won't do!
Ah, dilemmas.

Just wondering what the carbon footprint of your travel bug was? ;-)

Ha ha. As it's a vegetarian hitch hiker, probably very low(!)
