New Zealand #3: Hobbiton






















It's' rare that I'll dedicate an entire post to one event on our blog, but this is an exception.  Eric and I are both Lord of the Ring fans and couldn't pass up an opportunity to visit the Hobbiton movie set on our drive south to Rotorua.  This tour was awesome! A must do for everyone who visits New Zealand, Lord of the Rings/Hobbit fans or not, it's a must.  We spent two hours touring the set of Hobbit homes, learning about the filming of the movies and enjoying a beer at the Green Dragon.  A picture perfect afternoon, spent in Middle Earth, seriously, Go! Even our little Hobbit enjoyed herself!

Another amazing afternoon and after a few quick hours we were back on the road to Rotorua.  Stay tuned!
