Hi there
I'm sorry, but I am just about fed up with the road and beach repairs going on around Hataitai Beach. They have now been at it for a year. I found out last week that the road repairs might be finished by Wednesday which, I guess, in road repair-speak means December?
I used to always drive to the southern end of the beach looking for a parking spot but I can't turn the car around to get to the spaces now; it would entail knocking over a dozen road cones, plus the lollipop person holding up a stop-go sign. And don't think I haven't visualised doing all that ...?
So I line up for ages waiting until he turns over that darn sign. I drive past the beach as slow as a snail and get to the northern end to discover the parking spots there are full of road cones and bull-dozers.
I turn my car around.
Lollipop guy number 2 (northern end) ensures that I have to wait for ages before I'm allowed the privilege of driving back past the beach again, but this time on the seaward side of the road.
I beep my car horn to let my swimming friends know that I am trying to get to them before dark.
Last week I did find a space opposite a stop-go guy who glared at me as I hopped out of the car and I moved a road cone from the gutter to the footpath. I am such a rebel.
