HOW GREAT IS...
NEW ZEALAND?!
G'day,
I look at just how much I love New Zealand, even though I’ve never been! How can I resist its mountain majesty, the majestic lakes and the majesteral... .sheep...um...and mountains! - real Hobbit travel.
Boromir, Pippin, Sam, Legolas, Aragorn
I knew next to nothing about New Zealand until I saw Lord of the Rings. I read the books first actually, but they didn’t really do the place justice. Not until I saw the movie did I understand that if I wanted to see what it was like to be a Hobbit, then New Zealand was the place for me. Really, before Lord of the Rings, the only exposure we Americans had about New Zealand was the statistic about sheep to people and the fact that there were these birds called Kiwis that couldn’t fly, like small ostriches and that the people were called Kiwis and that somehow they also had fruit called Kiwis. Which is named after which we never knew.
So...Lord of the Rings, it was amazing! Then other things came out about New Zealand, like that they liked Rugby, which is nice, and of course the seven legged sheep.
So, join me, shall you, as we explore how much I would like to see this mythical land “Down Under, and just to the Right” as they say. It sure will be fun to see! - but first lets talk a little - more next time on planning for the Hobbit travel wanderings around Middle-earth.
