Hobbiton- The Shire

The Best part of the spring break trip up north was visiting the Shire. It was so cool to walk around the set of something I had seen so many times in the movies. I could recognize many things and learned quite a bit about the filming during the tour. I should probably get a job there seeing as how I knew a Lord of the Rings fact that the tour guide didn't even know!! I got tons of pictures and enjoyed every minute of. The only bad thing was the large size of the tour group but that was easily forgotten. At the end of the tour we were all given a free hobbit beer of our choice at the Green Dragon (the pub in the shire) the beer was actually quite good. I wonder if I can find it anywhere else in the world? Over that was definitely the highlight of break and something that I did not want to leave New Zealand without doing. I'm glad I was able to. Any lord of the rings fan would be!
