Geocache: Carpool cache #2

In the Netherlands it is really popular to use Carpool Parking, and that brings the great idea of placing geocaches in carpool parkings as well. These geocaches can be found in all different sizes, this time I'd like to share a bigger one next to a closed carpool parking place.

Hidden under plants.
We were on the way back from shopping in Germany when we stopped at this location, it seemed to be an easy one. The first surprise was that the carpool parking was there, but closed, so we had to park on the other side of the road in the parking of a new movie theather, which was of course paid, maybe that's why they closed the carpool parking? So we parked, then walked over.

Not too easy to spot from a distance.
When we started searching, it took a bit of a time, the security showed up. Don't ask what were they securing there, but he was not alone they were in two. So he comes and starts inteviewing my wife what are we doing there? She started to explain and he did not really get it, but then I just found the geocache, so I showed him, explained all we do is sign the date and our nick in the logbook (this cache had a nice bigger one) and put all back. We also explained that it is an international game and there were others before us and expect a lot more after us. He did not like it too much, and he also tried to explain something about reporting it, not sure he was expecting us to report to him, or the CO to report to them or he was to report to someone. He spoke Dutch but with kind of an accent I could not really get.

It was close to this tree.
Before he could have taken any action we were on our way back to the car and pay the cost of picking this geocache. I have to mention here, that once I had a more expensive geocache find in Rotterdam. What happened back then was we parked with my daughter at a place, tried to pay but the machine said no need till next Monday, so being happy with that decided to move to the next with the car and so we did. The small issue was that one street away it was already a different zone where it was paid parking till midnight, so that cost me over 60€. If I devide with the two geocaches we found then it is still over 30€/find ... I had to smile it was just a funny situation, and then paid the fine. So if you do mind these extra costs, make sure you take a good look around before leaving the car and pay the parking.
