Hobbiton and sheep shearing


Wake up call is early bird. We aim to catch the first run to Hobbiton and by the look of it we are the only ones. But that was an illusion, apparently a lot of people want to see Hobbiton. Oskar, Vera and Klara are the only children on this tour, all others are from 25 and above. Its amazing how a different ages can effect the price tag. Vera and Oskar became a bit younger… 


Unfortunately we cannot post any pictures from this tour. We had to sign a disclaimer because of the filming of the movie Bilbo. It was a really fun tour, they have reconstructed Hobbiton as it was in the LOTR movies and they will be kept afterwards for interested visitors. The setting is very ambitious and I am impressed how much effort they put in to the details and also all the arrangements to manage the large filmcrew. At the most 400 people where on site for the filming.  After Hobbiton we saw sheap shearing. Amazing how quickly they trim the poor sheaps. World record is 835 ( or something) sheaps during 8 hours!!! During our Hobbiton tour Kalle had a round of golf at Matamata golf club.
