6/14: Horse Hockey!

Today we visited Jo's Office to meet a lot of people, have lunch and
get a tour of the facilities. (amazing building and layout; Japan
needs to take a lesson on human-friendly buildings).

Then we took a walk into the village of Ashby de la Zouche. We were
looking for some geocaches and found one out of three during that
walkabout. Earlier we stopped at another Cache and showed Cor, Jo's
husband, what caching is all about.

We had to go into a paddock and walk a bit through the mud but
unfortunately there were nettles so we gave up. Suddenly the horses in
the paddock all came over to get attention from us. One kept pushing
Hiroko about and it tried to prevent her from getting back to the
path. Put we persevered and all was well.

The second cache was right next to this old Norman castle started in
the 12th century. We found the castle but not the cache.

Then we walked a little further and found a cache. And so we walked
home satisfied and smelling a tad horsey.
