What I did in my holidays

A few years ago I went on a trip to New Zealand, mainly to tour around the various locations used in Peter Jackson's movies. We had a fantastic time, and got to see a lot in only 10 days.

After seeing the wonderful posts over in The Road Goes Ever On, I thought I might add a few pictures as well. Here is Bag End as it looks now:

Hobbiton was wreathed in mist the day we visited, and the Tour operators apologised for it. However it actually made it easier to squint a bit and imagine being there.

Here is a view up The Hill, with Bag End somewhere up there in the mist!

And the Party Tree. It is massive... and felt perfect to sit under - too bad I did not have a pipe!
