We were on a quest, we knew where to go and what to look for - a yellow tag in a tree off the path.  We played at being sightseer's on the way, as it was a very picturesque walk, up and down a steep hill. 

Ah! there it was but no orchids; we looked around. Nothing! Perhaps that was an old tag, lets look further down the track.  On we went, somewhat downhearted, but we were soon rewarded, another tag and this time there were the orchids we wanted.  Success again, thanks to our sponsor.
