Day 12 - Hobbiton - Goodbye New Zealand

Our last day in New Zealand was a much anticipated day for the students - a visit to Hobbiton - also known as Matamata, New Zealand.

When we arrived to Hobbiton, we received a guided tour around the entire movie set - learning about how Peter Jackson choose this particular farm to transform into Hobbiton, where they kept the animals for the movie and then the Hobbit Holes themselves.

After the bus tour, we hopped off the bus and took a walking tour through Hobbiton while learning more fun facts about the movie and the books.  We even had lunch at the Green Dragon.

From there it was back to Auckland for some packing and getting ready for an early morning to catch our flight to Sydney, Australia first thing in the morning.
