Aaaaand back to Auckland. Just two days though, before heading to Tahiti. Best make the most of it, eh?
Saturday we headed out on a leisurely harbor cruise- I just wanted to be out on the water, enjoying the sun (but taking frequent, sun-burn prevention shade breaks). And that’s exactly what it was- leisurely.
That night I headed out to Brew on Quay (pronounced key down under- no one could explain to me why or what exactly a quay is (and I asked!). And they were shocked that the Florida Keys weren’t spelled Quays! You are weird, people down under.) Anyway, another fun craft beer bar recommended by Luke. I actually got to have the Epic-Thornbridge Stout on tap- woot!
Next day we went to Hobbiton!! And again, I let my freak flag fly. I was sooooooo excited! Especially because the entire set had recently been rebuilt in preparation for the filming of The Hobbit. Apparently after LOTR, New Line disassembled most of Hobbiton and the tour primarily consisted of the natural landscape and a few shells of hobbit holes that the farm owners managed to save. So hurrah! We got to see Hobbiton in all its glory! Unfortunately for you all though, because of that, we are not allowed to post any pictures until the release of the movie or we will be sued. And I can’t afford to be sued by New Line. So if you’d like to see the pictures, you will have to ask me for a personal presentation/slideshow from my computer. Or wait three years or so.
The Shire!
