After having some trouble picking up our rental campervan, we drove off to Matamata. This is the town where some of the Lord of the Rings scenes were shot. In fact here is the set for the scenes shot in the Hobbiton, the village of Bilbo and Frodo. We got a tour in the village of the Hobbits in the pouring rain, but unfortunately we can not put any of the pictures we took there on this blog, because we had to sign something to state that we would not do that and if we would we would be sued by New Line Cinema. The reason for this is that this is the new set for the next two Lord of the Rings movies. Also on the Hobbiton tour we saw how they in New Zealand shear sheep.
From Matamata we drove to Rotorua, the stinky city full of vulcanic wells. It really stinks in Rotorua, even when you are in the supermarket you all the time smell the sulphur (you were right, Juud, and we should have followed your advise and not have gone there. The main reason for this you will read in the next blog). We drove to Holdens Bay holiday park and put our campervan there for the night.
