New Zealand Day 25 Tuesday February 11th
Well gues where we went today. No prizes for guessing.
We set out for Auckland and called in Matamata aka Hobbiton. The film set is on a large sheep farm outside Matamata. This set was rebuilt for The Hobbit, the original one had been mostly dismantled only being made of polystyrene etc. This was at the farmer's request but so many people wanted to see it that they left part of the original set. For the new films they rebuilt it in stone, brick and proper building materials, although there is nothing behind the doors it is still worth a visit.
There is not a lot to say but I will just put in some photos.
Even John enjoyed it. (It was a bit expensive though).
