More from NZ


Fri. Feb 8, 2013

This day we went on a Hobbiton tour.  We got to see the movie set from Lord of the Rings and Hobbit.  This was fun since I had just seen the Lord of the Rings trilogy.  There was a tree there that had 2000 fake leaves on it.  But Peter Jackson became ill and they didn’t film for 6 months. When they were ready to film the leaves were not the right colors so they had to paint them all.   We got to go into one Hobbit hole.  It wasn’t very big though.  

In the afternoon we walked into town and went to the beach.  There were lots of cool shells to collect.  I also got a haircut there.  She even knew how to do my faux hawk.

That night, I helped Cheryl greet passengers at the show door.  It was fun.
 
I'll post photos later.
