Excellent cache idea!

We came to this one after attempting Corks Food Emporium nearby - unfortunately the emporium had closed, little did we realise (caching paperless) that this multi would lead us back there!

However seeing that it was just one clue we needed, I was able to use my BlackBerry for Going Out Or Getting Lost If Not Good answers! Anyway, after plugging in the coords (and trying a couple of different combinations, are we counting the century or calling it by year? Wasn't sure of the coords at first but then the cache description made sense.

I turned to Mrs Fitz and said "Are you sure you want to do this one now? It's up a big hill." but she mocked me saying,
"Come on, you're not scared of a little hill?" So we made our way down the street onto St Patricks Street and rounded the corner my wife paused and went "Oh... shall we do this tomorrow?" I laughed of course and replied,
"You're not afraid of a little hill are ya?!"

So up the hill we went, after a brief stop at Laura Ashley to gaze through the windows at furniture (the wife anyway). We slowly made our way to the top then as we neared tried to check the alternate coords again. It didn't matter what combination, it always seemed to point towards the houses, but the hint indicated we were already in the right place.

So I said to Mrs Fitz, let's just go round and see. Well the hint was good enough as we were able to locate GZ and I soon spotted something that looked like a hidey hole and there it was.

A nice break from the long walk and a lovely view. We traded for the Slovak coin (not a GC) and left a hacky sack. TFTC!
