My Travels

This is a day by day journal, so in the future I can look back and reflect on my experiences and those I have shared them with.

Dunedin - Sightseeing

Rachel and Dave gave a guided tour of Dunedin and the surrounding area.  It is lovely part of New Zealand, with the sea and countryside so close by.

Included in the tour was Baldwin Street, the steepest street in the world. At it's maximum, the slope of street is approximately 1:2.86 (for every 2.86 metres travelled horizontally, the elevation rises by 1 metre)  Very steep!!!

Had a good look around the University, which has strong presence in Dunedin.  It's a far cry from Dartford where I studied!!!!!  Not that it would take much to be beat Dartford anyway.
