The little wooden house where the party was held.

So, the story went like this. I scanned the QR Code that I found, and I discovered a link to the web site http://treasurehuntpn.tumblr.com. I found only one post, saying

Congratulazioni! Bravo! Ce l’hai fatta :) Ci vediamo il primo gennaio 2014, ore 15:00 alla casetta che trovi qui: Latitudine: 46.010268 Longitudine: 12.728873

Basically, there were congratulations and a meeting date, exactly for today, at 3pm. There were also the coordinates of the meeting place. I looked up the coordinates in google maps, and I found a place in an area I know quite well, because I do some research on birds there.

I had to go there, definitely!

A couple of hours later, I went to the meeting place, and I found a group of people gathered. I parked my car and I joined them. They seemed to be good friends, and I didn't know any of them, but I recognized the girl that put the signs in the park.

Everybody looked at me, somehow surprized.

-- Hi, are you all here for the treasure hunt, like me?

They explained that it was Elisa's birthday party: the treasure hunt was her idea to make it somehow different from usual. They thought that nobody would have noticed, and they were surprised that I did.

They invited me to join the party, what I did with pleasure. I made friends with them and we talked a lot, until an hour ago. I hope I'll meet Elisa again, she's really a great person. :)

And I managed to compose the code!

Looks like there's a meeting this very afternoon!

I found the 6th!

It was on a tree, I don't know how I could miss it!

Yesterday afternoon I went to the park again, and found another piece. I resized the pictures to make them fit, and printed them. Here's what I did during my (quite boring) new year's eve with friends.

Looks like only a piece is missing. I definitely have to go to the park again!

(By the way, happy new year!)

And here's the fourth.

I am intrigued. I definitely have to go to the park again in the afternoon. How many of them will be there?

The third was here, on a fence.

I found the second piece of code on a bin. A friend told me it looks like a part of something called a QRcode.

I was having a walk in a park, and saw a girl sticking this on a bench. Then she went away. I am curious about what it might be. Looks like a code.

Aunt Renie came to visit me. I took her to the mountains near here. She's really fantastic and full of life, I enjoyed spending some time with her!

An example of eggs I usually look for...

The place where I do most of my research: it's called "Magredi", see http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magredi for a description (Italian only, I'm sorry).
