Today I did some (rather embarrassingly unsuccessful) geocaching around the beautiful Niepkuhlen, a collection of former Rhine tributaries. While rather disgruntled, I had to hand to those lower rhine Germans: they do keep their cities beautiful, with lovely walkways, a minimum of garbage of the streets and some of the most lovely parks and nature reserves you can wish for. I think we might have to send the mayor of Tower Hamlets on a fact finding mission.
