Why I love Riversdale Beach.

I decided to pop over to Riversdale Beach on Friday – as a way of dealing with extreme Immigration Stress. There really is nothing better for me than staring at the sea with a take away coffee. It also helped that it was a stunning day, and the sea was a beautiful turquoise colour.

Well, we went back today, because hubby really also needed a day out, and if we stayed at home we would find things “to do”. So off we toddled.

As usual, we got the beach, and the very first thing we did was head to the shop for the much needed coffee.

Where they still had my EftPOS card from Friday – sat there waiting. Apparently they had assumed I was coming back for a second coffee on Friday. Which I guess at the very least suggest I’m a “regular” now if they remember that I usually do get another one for the drive home.

It’s a good job I didn’t need the card this weekend.

So thanks to Brownie at the Riversdale store, for not laughing at me too hard, and keeping my card safe.

  2. That looks a gorgeous beach! I’ve heard lots of fabulous things about it, but never made it over there. I must do that with the whanau one sunny weekend. Glad you had a much needed relaxing time, coffee and well looked after Eftpos card!

  6. Sarah – I really recommend a day out there. Its a bit of a trek from Welly, but well worth it. And you are also not far then from Castlepoint Beach. Most people in this area go to Castlepoint – but I prefer riversdale.

    Ive written some other blogs about this – but ill redo them with photos for you :)
