Hobbiton

In a hole in the ground there lived a Hobbit..... 💕
That's the first sentence of J.R.R. Tolkien's book and it was also the reason we wanted to come to New Zealand.
We actually didn't know anything about New Zealand other than that it was the movie set for The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit movies (which I absolutely adore). 💕
New Zealand has of course many more great things and places to offer but visiting Hobbiton was definitely our number one priority. 💕
It was a dream come true when we went on the bus that would take us to Hobbiton. Unfortunately New Zealand experienced its second cyclone (Cyclone Cook) that time which for us meant heavy rainfall but nothing could ruin this magical experience not even a cylone.
We were actually pretty lucky because all the tours after ours got canceled because of the weather.
Anyway we started our tour through Hobbiton equipped with massive umbrellas and our cameras ready to take pictures of everything we saw. There are really no words to describe this place. There a 44 hobit holes, as well as the party ground and the Green Dragon. 💕
I took countless pictures that day and it was truly heavenly. 💕
We got to be Hobbits for the day and heard many stories about the building of the film set as well as behind the scenes knowledge about the actors and the movies itself.
It is incredible how many details were considered while building this place from scratch. 💕
We visited Bilbo's Bagend as well as Sam's home and ended the tour with some Ginger Beer at the Green Dragon.
I still can't believe that I was really there. I will cherish those memories forever.💕Läs mer
