Day Ninety Four Maia

With daylight savings and spring, the days are getting longer which means I can walk more in the evening.  Today I walked 9 streets.

1246. Manapouri Street
1247. Ascog Road
1248. Ravensbourne Road
1249. Rotoiti Street
1250. Fern Road
1251. Isabel Street
1252. Babsie Road
1253. Jesse Street
1254. De Lacy Street

As I was walking in the evening, after work today, I headed back to Ravensbourne where I had been walking last week and walked the streets of the neighbouring suburb of Maia. The streets in Maia are just as steep as Ravensbourne. 

 

And as I have seen throughout my walking the streets of Dunedin, walking the streets on the hills means great views. The residents of these houses get great views looking across the harbour to the hills of the peninsula.

 

After walking the steep streets to the bottom, I chose to walk up the streets that wound their way up the hill.  It was still the same height gain but it was much easier walking, although the streets are still very narrow.

 

At the top, I came across a new street which is part of a new subdivision.  The houses that are being built in this new street are all going to have fantastic views looking up the harbour. 

 

Having already walked down the hill and back up, I then walked down Jesse Street which must rival Baldwin Street for the steepest street title. Jesse Street is only one way for down hill traffic.

 

And once at the bottom, I had to walk back up the hill (for the second time tonight).  Like the last time, I walked up a street that was less steep and wound it's way up the hill. 

 

The painted bus stop at Maia is painted with a harbour view and native birds often seen in the area.
