Lord of rings tour last night in Wellington

Started the tour in Mt Victoria. This is where they first started shooting Lord of the rings "fellowship of the ring", in secret before a fire broke out and the fire chief was about to halt all shooting, before Peter Jackson gave him a private tour with the actors who played the hobbits.

Here are a few shots.

Adrian as the hobbit






Shot in the movie





Tour guide said a company called 3.7" are looking for people of a height 5.6" and who are well fed to play hobbits in future movies.

Think I could get a part?







Adrian could play an elf?






Headed off to havencourt park to see where another scene was shot.





It's a kids park and picnic area! With my favourite game.






Frisbee golf!

had some muffins and tea then headed back to our luxury hostel.

sat in the bar eating my super sized £1 meal and the barman shouts out "FREE TICKETS FOR BASKETBALL GAME! TONIGHT! TIP OFF AT 7PM"

Guess who nabbed the tickets?







Game started in 20 minutes, so legged it to the TSB arena where the game was.

I have never been to a basketball game in my life!

Go team HAWKS!







Good seats.






Last 3.2 seconds of the game the HAWKS won! By 1 point!
