Yesterday, we did our first shore excursion, this one to the actual movie set for the filming of scenes in Hobbiton for both The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit trilogies. Those of you who love these stories as much as I do and as my children and grandchildren do (or will) would find this set more than charming. Lots of Hobbit holes are built into a little glen, and all are authentic looking and detailed. We heard many fun stories about the filming of the movies here. You can learn more about the movie set, which is now essentially a major tourist attraction, by clicking here. In the interests of conserving my precious on-ship Internet minutes over a very slow satellite connection, I'll save the stories until we are together sometime. For now, just enjoy these pictures.
We enjoyed a great show onboard last night and then a good dinner. We are at sea today, so this calls for relaxing and games. Tomorrow we reach Akaroa, New Zealand.
