Oct 28: Hobbiton

No visit to New Zealand is complete without a visit to the newly-reconstructed Hobbiton. This place is a tourist mecca, so we got there early in the morning before the hordes of tour buses show up (and this is still low-season!).
It is amazing to see if you're any kind of fan of the books or the films. The detail is really something to see.
The set was torn down after filming Lord of the Rings, but they re-built with permanent materials for The Hobbit. Its all there, Bilbo's house, Sam's house, and a beer at the Green Dragon Inn is included with the tour.
