After our zorb-adventure we had planned on going to Rainbow Springs in Rotorua which is a beautiful spot to watch nature. In the tickets you get a 24h access to the park and they have open til 10 pm. From what I have read they light up everything very nicely so you’ll get a whole different experience.
Unfortunately because of the rain, we skipped that and will take it on our way back to Auckland in the end of the trip. What we did instead was to cruise along some small roads until we got to Matamata where Hobbiton lies. We just wanted to have a look at the place since we’d be returning the day after.
In New Zealand they drive wonderful cars. Both new and old ones. Compared to Australia they don’t seem to be as strict on the whole customizing area. The cars here are modified. So when we parked our campervan Bamse I saw this amazing Dodge Charger and just had to take a photo for my friend Lars-Daniel.

Then our journey for a camping ground began. We drove around for probably for hours. Followed some signs, that ended up in this upperclass village. Anyways, that’s what we expect. It is called Karapiro Village. We drove and drove until we came to a road. And that road was named “Luck At Last Road.” We took a picture and turned. Found the campsite but no manager were there and it was quite expensive so we decided to have a wild camp. Again. Great fun though.

That’s how it felt like. Honestly. You’ll only get one picture tonight from the adventure we experienced yesterday but I’ll upload more tomorrow. Today we have been busy wandering around Hobbiton, walked into Bag End and had a great time. And tomorrow… we are going to Waitomo Caves. A new day, another adventure. Fingers crossed we survive!

What do you think? Isn’t he a beauty or what?
We drove late last night and found, at last, a rest area between Matamata and Rotorua where we put up our camp. We slept for eleven hours, after that eventful day which has come to be known as ‘one-of-the-longest-life-sucking-days-so-far-in-our-lives’.
