Hobbiton

Big kiwi on our way to Hobbiton.

Still doing the tourist thing... couldn't miss out on this!  It's a working sheep farm, which explains the hundred sheep blocking the road.

Beer made for the cast and crew.

Hobbit hole!








Bag End.  That tree on top is fake, although you wouldn't know it.... except for all the fake leaves that were strewn about.


Fake moss.  The detail is incredible.


Sam's house, at the end of Return of the King.




Bilbo's house!





Hobbit sized tools.





The last hobbit hole.

On the way home we found this cool gorge.

...with a cool tree.


Back at home, Chris and our hosts' son chase a lamb.

Success!

Green Lipped Mussels.

Delicious.
