The one and only thing that was not good? The police cordoned off large vehicle traffic from the parade street, but still let though scooters, small motorbikes and bikes… who were constantly streaming between the watching public and the parade participants. Some ladies were giving out sweets (candy) to kids on the sides of the street and Kiwi Daughter almost got mown down from the rear as she took a step out to make certain she got a sweet.. worse, the middle aged pompous lady on the bike was clearly annoyed that daughter was in her way! and certainly didn’t apologise for the near collision. Boy, was I one angry Mama! Poor Daughter was almost in tears from the fright. The lady cycled off in a huff before I could bend her ear and ask if she was proud of her selfish action towards a child.
