Day Nine Tainui

 It was a long, hot walk on the streets today.  I walked 12 streets today.

81. Gresham Street
82. Chisholm Place
83. Spottiswoode Street
84. Bayfield Road
85. Elliot Street
86. Arawa Street
87. Tainui Road
88. Dundonald Street
89. Kamura Street
90. Aotea Street
91. Norman Street
92. Tahuna Road

I also walked part of a number of other streets but can't count them until they are completed.  First thing today I walked part of Tahuna Road till it met up with Tomahawk Road.


Then I had to retrace my steps before heading down a walkway to get to Gresham Street and Chisholm Place.  Today's streets were a mixture of hills and flat and the views are changing, looking more over South Dunedin which is good to see where I am heading next. 

 

 

Today on my walk I found  this view, looking over St Clair towards Corstorphine from the end of Kamura Street.  I took this opportunity for a rest while admiring the view.

 It is becoming important to keep track of which streets I have walked part of so that I don't miss any parts of them out and sometimes this means walking some parts of streets twice (or three times!) The final part of my walk was completing Tahuna Road, and again, retracing my steps to get back to my starting place.  

Today I noticed a few things while walking.  The first is this old tram car, how great would it be to have in your back yard?!

I passed two more beautifully painted telephone cabinets.  It is great to see these necessary pieces of infrastructure being turned into art for the community. 


Distance walked: 10.9km     Walking time 2 hr  2 mins    

Total distance: 68.4km       Total walking  13 hr 04 mins

Otago Harbour Cycleway 30 October 2023

With my sister in town, it seemed a shame to waste a calm, sunny day so the two of us hopped on a bike each to enjoy the recently opened 32k...
