Last weekend, we managed three more countries in which we've now geocached: France, Belgium and the Netherlands. These add to the UK and Iceland to give us a grand, slightly shameful, total of five countries.
Geocaching abroad is highly recommended although it does include a few added difficulties, namely a language barrier that can be an issue with some of the caches, especially the hints! A little prior planning, including judicious use of google translate, and you should be fine :-)
So next time you go abroad, have a quick look on geocaching.com and enjoy some foreign caches too. We saw some fantastic places that we'd otherwise not have found in Iceland as a result!

Where's the Pin?!
I've just made a new cache container using a pine cone that I picked up over the weekend. Can't wait to drop this one off somewhere!
Here are the raw materials. One pine cone and one waterproof nano container.
Then I drilled out the middle with a 14mm bit:
And finally inserted the cache into the camo container:
Like it? I'm quite pleased with it... especially now that it has been released into the wild:
