Steep Streets of the World




Autumn is definitely here on the South Island, leaves are just beginning to change colours on the trees (not as colourful as Canada - sorry had to be said... but still beautiful). Over the past week I've seen on the news that trampers on the Milford Track have had to be helicoptered out as the weather has turned quite sour in that part of Fiordland... hence me changing my plans from doing the Kepler Track and instead heading directly to Dunedin. Let's just say that Dunedin hasn't been sunny either but a beautiful city nonetheless where I've met some wonderful kiwis.

I've been staying at a B&B in the North East Valley called the Glenroy Lodge. Ken and Ken are the hosts and very kind men... so kind in fact that they have invited me to stay one more night for free - and you know I like free things... so I will be leaving on Saturday morning heading north to Christchurch.

Also, I've tried climbing Baldwin Street a few times now... with some result - hence the picture attached.
