It’s hard not to like New Zealand, it boasts nice landscapes and has some adventurous activities thrown in. On this 9 day trip I explored the middle of the North Island and found a film set from one of my favourite movies. I also got a little adrenaline rush in the greenery surrounding Rotorua.

Hobbit movie. 🤓 🎥

I won’t pretend I’m not a massive Lord of the Rings nerd. Attended with some most admirable hobbits.
