Hobbiton and caves..
From Auckland, we took a day trip to see glowworm caves and Hobbiton, where parts of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings (by Tolkien) were filmed. We first took the bus to Glowworm Caves. In the caves, you had to...
New Plymouth..
Back from the mountain! On New Year's Day, I'm off to the campsite in New Plymouth to pitch my tent. And I have to make sure my gear is dry; almost everything is wet, except what I'm wearing. Click for a fun time-lapse of the...
