Reminds me of the trip to Pawarenga and I nearly drove straight into the sea - I could see a reflection and it looked like the road was shimmering, but up ahead there was a marae!

Can’t rely on Google for tides info and disappearing roads in this changing climate !!
I always feel quite confused reading about situations like these, and can't process how the heck people can be so blindly trusting about technology 🤔 Recently read about a person who drove into a wall of a nursery building, because GPS showed her it's possible...
