Off to Collingwood

Two days of non powered camping and also the attraction Golden Bay drove us to leave Marahau for the sleepy town Collingwood. On the way you pass the town Takaka, (“take a cookie” in Swedish J). The residents seem to take a lot of cookies and also taking it easy. Flower power never left this area so it’s really laid back. We got a nice camp spot just by the sea. We met Collingwood fire department on call. Fires are unfortunately common and we see warnings and the status of fires all the time. Pernilla and Kalle goes to the local pub for a beer and watch the Friday rugby game.
