Being a huge fan of The Lord of The Rings, I have always wanted to visit the hobbit village: The Shire. When the chance represented itself, I could not miss it.
After a night out in Auckland with a lovely crew, with a little sleep and a massive hangover I had to wake up at 6 am to be able to visit the shire. Lucky for me, from the hotel to the place it is a 2 hour drive, so I was able to catch a sleep a little. On the way there, you see how beautiful New Zealand is. Misty roads, beautiful sunrise. Great landscape. Breathing fresh air and seeing gorgeous landscape feel like a treatment after Dubai.
Got our tickets and massive coffees to get through the day and started the tour. It was a sunny but chilly beautiful day. Passing trough Bilbo Baggins’ house, remembering the first time I have seen the movies. Drinking ginger beer and all. It was like a fairytale me being there.
I am very lucky to have this opportunity. Thanks to Ezra for coming with me and enjoy the day. It is nice to share it with a lotr fan. Here are some photos for you to enjoy as well.
Stay safe people!
