On another rainy day, we are nestled into Shambhala (link to site), just outside Takaka on Golden Bay. We spent the night at Totaranui Beach camping but were woken by wild winds at about 4:00 a.m. that still haven’t let up. The view from our room is attached below.We plan on doing an Irish jig and downing some pints of green beer tonight at the popular Mussel Inn. Our first night “out” in weeks. Drew’s pretty darn excited. I hope the glow worms can guide us back in the dark to Shambhala.

Good luck on your driving test Mira.
