If you do want to see Hobbiton, there´s a place in town you can go to get infromation, books, postcards and so on about The Lord of the Rings. It is easy to find, but I´ll try to find the address sometime soon, just to make it easier. I have all the digital photos with me, but 4GB of photos will fit only on a DVD-ROM and I can´t find a DVD drive. SOOOOOOOOOON!
Fun Alternatives: Can't tell ya... there are those so die-hard LOTR fans that nothing will stop them. Go to Rotorua instead... actually Matamata is a neat town, so spend some time there.

Matamata was a small sleepy Waikato Region town until the Lord of the Rings livened it up by introducing Hobbiton. Now it is a common stop on the path from Auckland to Rotorua. Have a safe trip
