Friends have waited 3 months to get theirs - the problem with a fancy car and the shipping delays of 2021! The Huka Falls are beautiful, but they are a bit scary too - the power of that water! Nature flexing its muscles. We won't attend the ANZAC day service, but we will visit the grandparent's grave and put flowers and a poppy on it.

Sometimes you could actually see a pebble expelled from the tyre tread of another vehicle. I can't imagine the injury it would cause if it hit someone. David M.
