Baldwin Street Summit Attempt

27 March 2013 | Kaikouri

Thought I had at least better update our position before we get too far along. We just arrived tonight in Kaikouri in the NE, on the coast. We left this morning from Dunedin, and had a long 550Km drive today. Dunedin was terrific! Beautiful city! Would have liked to stay longer but the long Easter holiday weekend is sneaking up on us and we needed to make some decisions (and reservations) as things get booked up quickly here over the holiday weekends. So we have decided to spend Easter weekend in Nelson, and have a room booked there for 3 nights (which took a few hours of digging up tonight!). Tomorrow we will do some wine tasting on our way to Picton (for 1 night), then on to Nelson. We saw the coolest rocks today though - can't wait to post some photos! They are huge round boulders on the beach at Moeraki. It's amazing how big and perfectly round they are! John was even impressed! And they are not everywhere - just on a very small small section of beach on the east coast. I have never been so excited about rocks! We also attempted to drive up the steepest street in the world (Baldwin Street) this morning, in Dunedin. That's right - steeper than any street in San Francisco, or so they claim (and now I believe it to be true!). We tried to make it to the top in the van, but couldn't quite make it. Just a bit too steep for the old buggy! I thought we were going to do a back-flip on the way up! So we didn't get the certificate at the top, but at least we still have a functioning transmission!
