Golden Bay New Years Eve (Day 3)

The next morning we woke up to torrential rain and when I say torrential I mean the biggest downpour of huge raindrops I think I've ever experienced. It rained like this for the whole day not even easing off for a few moments, nope it was never ending or so it seemed.

After eating our breakfast and thinking "It'll probably ease off soon" we realised at 11 am it really wasn't showing any signs of stopping so we needed to either stay home or brave it.

I really wanted to go to this little cafe I'd seen advertised on the road. It was called "Wild Earth bush cafe" so we pulled on our raincoats and headed off into the rain.

After a slightly scary drive out to the cafe in the furious rain and wind we finally arrived.

This place was every bit worth the wet trek down a winding path into the bush. It was probably one of the best cafes I've been too (and anyone who knows me knows that a big call!)

Not only was the food and coffee delicious but it was presented in such a unique and beautiful way (with little daisys and leaves on top!) All of their cabinets were brimming with tasty healthy treats like wholemeal blueberry and chocolate muffins and gluten free organic chocolate brownie, yum!

We sipped our coffees and shared our treats with the company of the cafe's big brown Labrador and then retreated back into the warmth of our little cottage until 6pm.

Then it was time to hunt out some dinner. The rain had finally eased a bit and we celebrated the end of 2014 with a big pile of bbq ribs and some local beers from a nearby pub.
