We started our Porto visit together with leadju at Capela das Almas. We saw the Wherigo and the D/T and thought: let's give it a try.
The first part of the story fits to our plans and we followed the way. Then we made a break for an event and for dinner. Today afternoon we continued the game. We like the story and the way it worked. Sometimes we were not sure how to continue, but we could always find a way.
We saw a lot nice places. At the final treasure we had to wait a bit and the spoiler does not fit any longer but finally we made it.
It was a long way (may be a little bit to long) but it was worth it.
Thank you for the Wherigo and all the work to develop the story and to implement it!
Obrigado pela cache!

Played little by little during our one-week stay in Porto and finished on the last day. The game took me to many amazing places, most of which I visited for a second time. The related story was great and all the tasks reasonable. It was really fun and I must say that I didn't expect the Spanish inquisition. Thanks for this excellent wherigo.

This cache took us several days to complete. During our visit to Porto, we walked by a lot of sites, churches, interesting places. However, we were not able to complete this cache in one try. On the first day, it was simply too late in the evening to go on and on the second day, the location was already closed when we arrived for one of the last stations in the evening.

So not knowing how many stations were left, we tried again today in the morning. We were so close already to the target, but we did not find the spoiler picture. After a long a search in the area, we were so happy that we could finally find it!

Thanks a lot for this adventure!

Oh boy, what an epic adventure. How do we properly describe this top cache experience in Portugal? It consists of three parts.

First we started planning our cycle trip from Porto to Lisboa at home by also looking at the geocaching map. We easily selected this well rated cache in Porto to guide us along the main sights. On top of that it is also a Wherigo cache and this is our favorite cache type. The plan was made that this would be the main target of our day in Porto.

Part two started in Porto with charging all devices to full power and allow for enough time and both soon proved to be necessary. The cartridge guides you to all the top sights you would normally do as a tourist but you now have your personal guide who points out the little details and the background story... and all of this within the great setting of the Templars that fit the sights of Porto so well! The extra power packs are also needed because you can not stop taking pictures along the way. This continued for hours and we felt we were nearing the final when we had to solve the riddle of the Torre dos Clerigos. But this was our black beast and we failed miserably. Was it the starting rain that blurred our vision or were we taken by the Tavoras or Jesuits who were trying to sabotage our holy mission? The fact is that we had to abort and contact the CO for guidance. Silvana swiftly replied to our distress call but by that time we were already cycling southwards along the coast.

10 days later, back in Porto and some time left for part three starting from the Torre dos Clerigos again. This time the message from St Paul was immediately revealed and we felt ashamed that we failed it before. Silvana not only gave us a hint but full disclosure (but we will not disclose in this log what was our problem. The Jesuits might be reading this as well) After that hurdle the final quest was swift and we soon found ourselves at the lovely and nicely given secret box and kneeled for The Master.

And not only the virtual character of the cartridge but especially for the Wherigo virtuoso and master cartridge creator. This is very well done and one of the most epic Wherigos we played. A tip for the next players: do not only navigate to and activate your player at the next zone but also keep it alive in between as you will experience some fine surprises in hidden zones. We enjoyed the fortune telling gipsy, the beggar,... and other colorful characters.

As we also published several Wherigo cartridges we know the effort it takes to make such a beautiful and perfectly working cartridge: one favorite point is not enough to express our gratitude and respect for this great work!

This cache was our main goal for this beautiful mid-november day. It turned out to be an optimal approach to discover this wonderful city.
So we interrupted this tour many times to log other caches on our way, to have nice meals and to visit some sites.

From the technical and storytelling point of view there was hardly anything to criticize. It must have been a vast effort to realise this cartridge. In the end we found the final box in an idyllic place which invited to stay for a while.

Additionally I liked this cartridge's humour between the lines, especially the passage where the two Germans' accent speaking "English" was kidded. Very nice! :'-).

Thanks for this cache and many greetings from central western Germany,

E finalmente conseguimos fazer a wherigo. Nas duas primeiras tentativas a chuva fez-nos desistir, e sabendo agora a extensão da mesma ainda bem que o fizemos. Desta vez, com bom tempo percorremos os pontos sem pressas apreciando alguns dos mais fabulosos locais do Porto.

Confesso que muito rapidamente entrei em modo automático e dediquei-me a apreciar os locais e prestei menos atenção à história, em parte porque fiz asneira logo no 2º ponto e crashei a coisa, em parte porque os locais são mesmo muito bons e com o dia que estava estavam cheios de gente e animados.

Os AR^2 no entanto tinham os telemóveis bem preparados e sem grande dificuldade chegámos ao fim, algumas horas depois, mas com um grande sorriso na cara que ainda aumentou mais ao vermos o container final.

Obrigado pela partilha dos locais e pela cache! Deixo o inevitável favorito e uma data de fotos que tirei pelo caminho

Found this cache during our beautyful trip to Portugal. The cartridge was well programmed and led us through Porto to see all the important sights. The story was told very nicely and the riddles were not to hard to solve. Thanks for the wonderful wherigo, favorite point, moep2
