In this week's Cache Walk we are in Auckland, New Zealand putting out a new virtual geocache. It's near the main cruise ship dock on Auckland's waterfront. We enjoy logging easy virtuals when travelling overseas. We are often in places with limited time to explore, geocache and film so thought there should be one in Auckland for travellers like us. Come and see where we decided it should go.
