Today was mostly amazing. We went to Hobbiton! And then we drove a few hours to our next hotel. Even our flat tire wasn’t so bad, thanks to a few locals who stopped to change it for us, right before sunset. #Aotearoa #NewZealand #Hobbiton
None the worse for wear, I took the short route through Waymeet, chickens scuttling this way and that, and made it back here in time for tea.
Master Boffin could see I were parched and pulled a pint of Blagrove's, which hit like a right treat after such a hike, I can tell you.
That were a long two days but getting the word out about Archet was more important than my sore feet and dry throat.
Hop, skip, and a jump and I were in Hobbiton.
Headed to the Bush where I knew Hereward would be the right person to pass the news from Archet.
It were nigh close to dinner time so a spot of Thistlebelly fortified me for the final leg of the journey to Michel Delving.

Getting married is not something I would say I have ever longed for but I did just see you can get married at Hobbiton in NZ..
Yoooo who wants to get married

Happy Hobbit Day (Sept. 22)! One of the best ever trips I’ve taken was a 24-day trip to beautiful New Zealand in 2019. Here’s my Visual Trip Journal from the day we visited Hobbiton!
Just how fast was that sheep going???
