New Zealand day 61


Here we again! Do the second lord of the rings(LOTR) activity! Wow… awesome! Do I have to dress like a hobbit this day? I don’t think so but if I do this a lot of people will think that I am a neurotic fan of lord of the rings. After the lord of the rings tour I have a break of couple of hours and I will go to the Moari Village to know a lot more of the native people of New Zealand! That is not everything… I am going to spot a special bird after the Moari Village!

The Hobbiton movie set! Okay Sam and Frodo where are you? I am not going to play hide and seek so… I will stop to stop find Sam and Frodo because I am going to admire the nature! Awesome, sweet as! What a beautiful gorgeous and tasteful landscape! Now I am understand why Hobbiton is created in Matamata. I could fall in love with the environment! It is a little bit a pity that there a lot of Hobbit’s house are built in a such a beautiful landscape like this but it has something special as well… I feel like a hobbit. I have been in Hobbiton for one and half an hour. The time is to short to stay for this time period! But the Hobbiton is an exciting place and you can see this at the pictures!

A couple of hours BREAK.

The Maori Villiage will be visitated by me! The culture, Moari, is one of the most expressional  culture that I have seen.  They have an expression with the face which you can find back in carvings at wood or greenstone or other things! The culture stuff is showed in a demonstration on a podium. Before the demonstration one of the moari’s  shows us how they make diner. They make diner with a Hangi. A big pan above a big hot pool, which smells to sulphur.

So the Hangi is filled with lamb, chicken kumara and potatoes! The kumara (sweet potatoes) and the lamb are my favourites! After this I am going to the rainbow springs to see a special native bird. Do you know which bird? Yeah you definitely know! A Kiwi! I am not allowed to make pictures, so I haven't got a photo of a Kiwi-bird.
