Are we to late for Hobbiton?

Today in the afternoon Lukas checked online for the guided tours and realised for the next week every day is fully booked. We got a bit nervous, because this was one of the main reasons to come. Because of limited connection, we wanted to check in the evening again and maybe call someone. Lukas looked for the days, before we take the flight and there he found an available tome slot, which he booked immediately. I asked my parents if they wanted to join, but decided not to. Because we took to much time, the booking process was canceled and Lukas had to do it again. In the end he somehow booked for 3 people, even though I saw him entering 2. To tired to fix it today we will fix it the next day.

Whangarei Quarry Gardens: a beautiful maintained garden in an old quarry with a small lake and waterfall.

Hundertwasser Art Center: an interesting artist / architekt, trying to break up the sharp edges and corners of a usual building and forming a more fluent texture.

Waipu Caves: a beautiful glowworm cave with a stream running deep into the mountain. Got my shoes wet, but enjoyed following as far as possible.Read more
