Where are Danny and Ryan (Final Exam)

Name these beaches...

Time: Throughout the trip
Difficulty: Very Hard. 2 points per beach for naming the beach exactly, 1 point for the locale without the beach name (such as the town), 1/2 point for the country the beach is in. Not all beaches may have exact names, so 1 point each would be the maximum for those.

With this many points on the line, it's still anyone's game!






















1 - Plage St. Francois / Citadel Beach, Corsica

2 - Barcelona, Spain

3 - Monkey Beach, Thailand

4

5

6 - Bondi Beach, Australia

7 - Ipanema Beach, Brazil

8 - Cathedral Cove, New Zealand

9 - (New Zealand)

10

11 - Fossil Shell Beach, Thailand

12 - Punta Tombo, Argentina

13

14

15 - (Torres del Paine Park)

7, 8, 11 are correct

That isn't the name of #1 that I have, but I could see how that could be an alternate name, and it is otherwise the right location.

#9 is not correct, but it is the right country.

We return to Phoenix tomorrow, and there's no way for anyone to catch her now, so Alana is the winner!

Here are some hints for the remaining photos (4, 5, 9, 10, 13, 14, 15)

a) 1 of these are on a sea, 3 are on the ocean, 2 are lakes, and 1 is on fjords that lead to an ocean

b) 1 of these was recent at the time of the post

c) 4 of these are from one country

Yeah! :) Thank you both for all of the fun photo posts!!!

Are 5, 9, 10, and 13 from New Zealand?
Is 4 from Ibiza?

10 is not from New Zealand. The other guesses are correct.

About This Blog

The accounts both factual and perceived of the international adventures of Danny and Ryan. We are two Californians taking eight months to visit various countries around the world, but this is not an "around the world" trip. We'll be using this blog to keep a record of our travels and share our adventures with our friends and families. Our itinerary is summarized here.

The title of the blog is based on one of our favorite exploration books, about a young man in the early 20th century who roamed the American Southwest from the ages of 17-19 years old, Everett Ruess: A Vagabond for Beauty.
