My brother and I thought we made it really far but when we turned around we were just at the top of one of the first dunes! We gave up and went and played in the river for the rest of the day.

Unfortunately we didn't make it to the top of Big Daddy ourselves because by the time we actually got to the base it was already starting to get hot and we knew that it would be REALLY hot by the time we got to the top. I still regret not continuing to the top but we did make it up high enough to get a gorgeous view of the area.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-71180966094283908352014-08-22T17:31:15.401-04:002014-08-22T17:31:15.401-04:00Not sure the previous comment went through...

We were at Sossusvlei in November of last year. Such a beautiful area. We drove past Dune 45 and we saw people climbing it. Wished now that we had stopped and climbed it then but we were on our way to climb Big Daddy, so we know how hard hiking those dunes can be. The dunes make for some fantastic photography though, the colours make the pictures look almost unreal.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-13689753578536943232014-08-22T11:16:56.141-04:002014-08-22T11:16:56.141-04:00Thanks you Suzanne for your entry and also for thi...Thanks you Suzanne for your entry and also for thinking that our photo would win last week's contest. It was certainly a "candid" shot, we had no idea that the ostriches were going to react like that, it was hilarious, Kevin was so totally surprised and wasn't sure if he was going to get attacked by these guys. No worries thought, they were just interested in the corn.<br /><br />13 miles in the rain and wet doesn't sound like a fun hike but sometimes you just have no option, glad that you were dressed for it and hopefully you still saw some beautiful scenery.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-82752884073331458642014-08-22T11:08:19.124-04:002014-08-22T11:08:19.124-04:00Thank you for your entry Mark and Kate.

We will be visiting there in October. Now I know to be careful when hob-nobbing with ostriches!<br /><br />Photo entry for Hiking:<br />This photo was taken during our four day hike on the Milford Track in Fiordland National Park on the South Island of New Zealand. The last day was 13 miles through a temperate rain forest. There's a reason they call it a rain forest. It rained the entire day. Fortunately, we were forewarned and had the necessary gear to stay more or less dry. http://www.boomeresque.com/?p=632<br /> (I'm afraid this was not originally a digital photo so my editing options were limited.
