To
Dunedin
 We left the lovely town of Oamaru, on
the outskirts we saw our last 1880’s building, the
lower floor boarded up. Hope someone restores it to its former
glory.
  We stopped at Totara Estate, sadly closed.
   These were the
plaques on the wall outside.
 Once more on the
highway.
 We stopped to see the Moeraki Boulders.
  We admired some ‘carefully owned’ farm equipment.
 Mable
enjoyed the sun midst two new friends.
 En route again, we saw Winifred James a very long way from any water.
 Nothing but sheep
and pasture.
  Countryside
for an hour, then back toward the ocean.
  The Wicked Witch said we had half an
hour to go, so we were surprised to see the city boundary
sign. Quite pretty scenery.
 We passed a rustic
hotel.
 Back on the
flat.
  A few more
hills and the suburbs.
  The city of Dunedin. Our Tourism Radio chirped and
told us some of the things to see and do. Remarkably the city is home to the
steepest residential street in the world – Baldwin Street rising 1 in 2.86
metres. It has to be a concrete surface as tarmac would slip in the summer heat.
Must go and look, although we don’t fancy walking up it.
 We found Dunedin
Station to see where to park for our trip on Sunday. Allegedly the most
photographed building in NZ.
  Houston has a
little problem.......... Up another steep
hill.
  They build them steep here. Down the hill, Top Ten
and parked, just before the rain.
ALL IN ALL A BUSY
DAY
AN EASY DAY FOR TOURISTY
