Day 101 Roseneath

 I enjoyed my walk exploring the streets of Roseneath tonight.  I walked 9 streets tonight.

1343. Reeves Street
1344. District Road
1345. Downes Road
1346. Prospect Row
1347. Clyde Street
1348. Shandon Street
1349. Cove Street
1350. Fraser Street
1351. Kilgour Street

The suburb of Roseneath is on a promontory hill jutting into the Otago Harbour with great views in all directions.  I started my walk by looking towards Sawyers Bay and Port Chalmers.  Both suburbs that I have not walked yet.

And then as I walked further around the streets of Roseneath, I was able to look down the harbour towards the city.

Another view opened up as I continued walking around the streets.  I was rewarded with a great view across the harbour to the triangle shape of harbour cone and the hills of the peninsula.

On the forth side of Roseneath, I had a good view looking over farmland towards Mihiwaka which was covered in cloud. 
Some of the houses have the waters of the harbour across the road with great views looking at Port Chalmers. 

The railway line runs through a tunnel under Roseneath and I was lucky enough to see a train on the line heading towards the tunnel while I was standing here.

 I saw two interesting letterboxes during my walk in Roseneath.  I think the wonky triangle letterbox is supposed to represent a wave as it is outside a house which is across the road from the harbour while the tree letterbox is large and solid looking

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...
