baldwin street

We weren’t quite done with Dunedin even though the weather was pretty crappy. The next stop was Baldwin Street, the steepest street in the world according to the Guiness Book of World Records. Both Miva and I had independently wanted to see it, but when we got there we decided that we probably shouldn’t drive a borrowed car up the street in the rain! It was pretty scary even walking up and down it in the rain, because it was so slippery, and the few cars we saw attempting it looked like they were having a hard time.

The picture doesn’t really do it justice…it is very, very steep.
