My Travels - Hobbiton

Yesterday Grammar Classes gave me inspiration to post some info about the place I visited once, which is situated on the most picturesque private farmland near Matata in the North Island of New Zealand. It is called Hobbiton and it is the place when The Lord of the Rings film trilogy was shot.
There are spectacular views across to the Kaimai Ranges from the hills. The place is an tourist attraction as well as a sheep and beef farm.
I was amazed with the amount of green grass on the hills, strange big trees, bushes and an incredibly fresh air. The Hobbiton itself wasn't so interesting to me, as I didn't even read or watched the story about these creatures. I believe I will learn some things about them from the grammar test ... ;)

I don't have my own photos from there, as I lost them all after my computer crashed few years ago :(
From then on I try to back up it up from time to time :)
I found some nice pictures of the place for you thought...

    So you actually went to New Zealand as well?? Just... WOW. Sorry, it's becoming a typical reaction from me to your travel posts :P, but yeah, it's nothing short of amazing. Your travels, that is. :D

    Do you know they're filming "The Hobbit" there these days? It'll be released next year. Which reminds me I should try and read the book which I bought last year and still haven't opened... ;)

    I like the houses in the photos. They look very safe and cosy. Did you visit their inside?

    yes, I visited one of them. It wasn't so small inside as it might look from outside, but I wouldn't like to live in one of those. I prefer my apartment :) But the surrounding thought, I would take with me if I could.
