The Shire!

We made it to the Shire!  Oh My Goodness!!  A dream come true!

We had a bit of shopping to do in Auckland which went without a hitch - surprisingly...  Then down the road to Matamata.  John is becoming quite the navigator!  The set was spectacular and even though we had no reservations, we were able to get on a trip right away!  After the trip through Hobbiton, we worked our way down to Rotorua and have a Kaituna raft trip waiting for us in the morning!  Should be a great day and we really needed a little down time today!
