Back on the North Island again

So we took the interislander again back up to Wellington so Bryan can get another interview with BMW Hastings.  We spent the rest of the day in Wellington and decided to go hunting for Lord Of The Rings film locations for fun and we did find them thanks to a tour guide that lets us sneak in with his group. But than spent a night on Miramar in Wellington and than the next morning headed north to Hastings but on a different route than we took the first time. But now we are back in Hastings and will keep you updated with Bryans job interview.

They have such beautiful roses here and they are everywhere

This time we have lots of cows on the ferry

Good bye south island :(

I could take this ferry everyday...its just so pretty here

Mt.Victoria...trying to find the locations

Jumped in with this tour guide which was awesome..very insightful

He was showing us where the hobbits fell down the hill onto some mushrooms

This is where they fell down

This is where Froto says to the other hobbits get off the road cause the Nazgul is coming

You can see the photo of the movie in his hands

This is where the hobbits hid from the Nazgul

They added a huge log for the hobbits to hide under from the Nazgul but the background is the same

The tour guide showed us some filming tricks done with the hobbits and Gandoff...quite fun to try and do

Part of Wellington

Sunset off Miramar

The Interislander heading back south

Heading up to Hastings

So now headed to hastings and we will let you know tomorrow about Bryans job interview and where we will be from here on out.
