Geocoins around the Planet ? Yes, they do travel !

A while ago, I received pictures from Peter in Bremen, Germany, who took some of my geocoins on a trip to the country they represented. Here are the pictures :

This is the one from Australia, with the Sydney opera in the background

And this is the Singapore coin, with a Singaporean cargo in the harbor

Thanks for those, Peter !

And if you have other pictures of my coins in their 'natural' home, send them and I will publish them here !

Finally, check my website http://www.ellandel.com/ if you want to see what these coins are all about

Top 10 places to visit - and to find a geocache

I am currently preparing my 2008 travel destinations, and here is my selection of the Top 10 places or things I would like to visit this year.

Hopefully I will find a find a geocache there - and if not, I'll place one :

  1. The Red Square, in Moscow, Russia
  2. The Taj Mahal, in Agra, India
  3. The Lost City of the Incas, Machu Picchu, in Peru
  4. The Pyramids of Egypt
  5. Victoria Falls, in Southern Africa (either Zambia or Zimbabwe)
  6. The Northern lights, in any place near the arctic circle
  7. The Himalaya
  8. The volcanoes of Iceland
  9. Petra, the city carved in the mountain, Jordan
  10. The Galapagos islands

That's my wish list for this year. Let's see if I can do at least five of them. Since I have to go to a wedding in Northern India in April, it looks like I will be able to see 2. and 7. And in october I plan to visit Peru and Ecuador, so Machu Picchu and the Galapagos islands are on the agenda, That would be 3 and 10. Finally, in two weeks from now I'll be in Moscow, so I will try to see the Red Square..

Stay tuned - you'll see the results on this blog every Sunday at least
