Hannover Postcard Cache

Bored at Cebit? Nothing to do in Hannover? Fed up with Hannovermesse? Then write some postcards and play a round of Geocaching!

Do not wear your suit though when you go for the hunt.

This cache is a postcard cache.

What is a postcard cache?

A postcard cache is the geocacher's mail box. It helps you to surprise friends. How many times were you planning to send a postcard to a friend but didn't? A postcard cache will help you to solve this mess. How does it work? Simply take a pair of the same postcards with you when you go for the hunt. One card stays blank, the other one is adressed to a friend and has the appropiate stamp on it.

Once you found the cache, you will uncover many card pairs like this, each of them attached to each other with a clip. Now choose one of the card pairs, and exchange it for your own card pair (that should have a clip on it). Return the cache to its hideout, and then go home. There, you either put the written one of your two new postcards into the mailbox, or you place the pair of cards right into the next postcard cache.

It is great to put postcards from a different place than the cache location into the cache. It is also great to mail the postcards from your home town - just imagine the receivers wondering why their friends send postcards from that town... ;-) You can exchange several pairs of cards at the same visit, of course.
