A Middle earth holiday early 2010

As I draft up my next blog I thought I would post some pics of  last years Christmas trip which passed a few locations used in the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. These were taken early 2010 before the Hobbit had been green lit. We spent most of our time in Rotorura but the chance to visit Matamata was too good to pass up. Oh the first pic is a King Kong ref, but you can see the South Island in the distance.

So Mrs Wismann humoured me.
