Getting a bit more comfortable

so today i decided to was going to the beach.  you all know how stubborn i can be (just keep that in mind.)  well i thought i had this all figured out.  i had gotten all the route numbers written down, for which bus i needed to take, i wrote down approximate times i should arrive at certain destinations in order to get on the next bus...THOUGHT i had all my ducks in a row. HAH!  First thing, the bus was not there when it was supposed to be, it was about 10 minutes late, but the thing is since it was so late i started to second guess myself!  so i got out my map (you can tell where this is going-cant you?)  yeah, when i was looking at my map, the bus went by.  the buses just don't stop at every point...you have to flag them.  so i waited for about 20 minutes and the next bus came.  okay fine, i'll just adjust my times.  so i need to make a stop when i get on this bus, but i'm unsure of where things are.  see, you still have to know about where you are.  and i do not.  so needless to say i just stayed on the bus till the last stop.  and i end up in this kind of ghetto bus depot.  there are high school kids EVERYWHERE (again, you know how i am) which means yackity yackity yack!  and i wait there for the bus that is going to take me back home....because by this time i am done.  i road the bus for 45 minutes longer than i should have and i had to pee.  so i was done.   well i get on the bus that is going in my direction home, and i decided that if i find a place that i want to stop i am going to...i am not going to have a wasted day! (stubborn)  well ends up...somehow (don't ask me how)  i was heading toward the beach!!  i got off the bus.  yep, i made it to the beach!  i didn't have a lot of time there (i have been trying to get home by dark) so i sat for a bit and walked out till the water was about up to my knees.  the cool thing is though, i think i can get there again!

i had orchiette pasta salad (which was oh so good)  and my first true NZ flat white, all i can say is ohhhhh.
