We’re on an adventure!!!!

Day 2 of our New Zealand adventure started with a highlight I never expected to actually be able to do and that is Hobbiton. We went to Hobbiton. Complete with ales and stouts and Hobbit holes and fake trees! It was amazing.

While being an international tourist destination the Hobbiton set is actually where it was originally constructed on Alexander Sheep Farm about two hours outside of Auckland in the middle of beautiful rolling hills. On our drive in our constant refrain was “Is this fake? Are we imagining this?” And “do you think we could afford a farm here.”

Just wish we could come back in December when they finish construction of their first fully complete hobbit hole interior.

Glad we’re here in spring because we get to see babies!!!! So far we have seen hundreds of baby sheep and baby cows and TWO baby kiwis!!! To say I’m enjoying all the animal viewings is an understatement.
