In his misspent youth, David Whitley spent just under five years in Australia, editing backpacker magazines between drinks. He returned home in 2006, but did so in a spectacularly half-hearted manner. He’s been back around the world three times since then, and his current trip is the fourth different route he has taken. After all, look at all those lovely new countries, sitting there and waiting to be ticked off; you can read about his RTW experiences here |

The World's Steepest Street |
I’m approximately two-thirds of the way up, when a horrific thought strikes me. Imagine actually living here, and not having a car? The buses only go past the bottom end of the street, and having to surmount Mt Baldwin every day would probably send you into nervous breakdown territory. Baldwin Street isn’t really a mountain, although crampons and an ice axe probably wouldn’t go amiss in the depths of winter. Amongst New Zealand’s cavalcade of adventure sports, getting to the top of this suburban street doesn’t exactly rank high on the scale, but it has become one of Dunedin’s most popular tourist attractions... |
