On the way driving down to Wellington we stopped at the Hobbiton movie set where they filmed the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings. It is about 2 hours south of Auckland and one of the big tourist attractions in NZ
I have not sen the movies but it was a beautiful location and interesting tour. With no foreign tourists in NZ it is easier to get into all of these sites though they are still expensive
We were really lucky with beautiful weather. it had been raining the day before.
Dani is doing The Hobbit show with her Devonport Drama this term so seemed good research for her.
They said they chose this farm location to build the movie set because when they flew over they saw this big symmetrical tree which was next to a lake. This was something int he Hobbit books so important.
