NZ #11: Hobbiton and Waitomo caves

Hobbit Door 1
Looking across the pond at the pub that was burned with fire in the Trilogy series.  Unfortunately because of the filming for The Hobbit, we weren't permitted on that side of the pond.


The Mill, also inaccessible because of filming rights.

The party tree with three hobbit doors beneath
Party tree (slowly dying in real life... sad!)

Hobbit Door 2

Sam-wise's door... oh faithful Sam!
Tour group with Bag End above us

Hobbit door 3

Bag End!  Where are you Frodo and Bilbo?!
C'mon Frodo or Bilbo, come out!
Or I'll come in...

Hobbit door 4
Idyllic, eh?

Hobbitsies are a little smaller than me.

Hobbit door 5
Hobbit door 6

There were 44 doors altogether

Waitomo Caves with the gloworms came after, but sadly I wasn't allowed to take pictures.  This is an illegal - non-flash - shot (so slightly blurry :P)
