From the plane
A stop in the city near where Lord of the Rings filmed Hobbiton
Another travel day. Our dear friend Lisa got up at the crack of dawn to come and fetch us in the trusty red car. We had a quick stop at MickeyDs so she could have some breakfast and Lil could play in their playland- way cooler than ours before starting the 3 hour trip back to Auckland. While driving back we stopped in hobbiton- the area where the filmed part of Lord of the Rings. You can take a tour of the film site, but we couldn't figure out why you would pay $100 to see farm fields when the sets aren't even there and you can see farm fields that look the same for free as you drive by. All the same, still cool to see.
Then it was lunch and to the airport. We were making our switch from the North Island to the South Island. From Cross Fire friends to camp friends. Our flight went well- less than two hours and Lillianna slept the whole way. When we arrived we got our rental car for the week and Mike again did a great job. We arrived and were greeted warmly by Paul and Amy.
