One Ring To Rule Them All

Today we woke early in the morning to say goodbye to our new friends who were leaving bright and early. We then went to a restaurant down the street, Sweet Mother Kitchen where they have the best eggs on rye ever! Its a fun little establishment and it has the same feel as Nellie's back home.

At 10:15 we were picked up for our Lord of the Rings Valley Tour, we got on the bus with another girl from our hostel named Kat, and joined 5 other people from various hotels around Wellington. We proceeded to watch film clips en route to all the film locations. I would put up the photos but all the evidence of filming or any LOTR has been destroyed and put back to normal by their "Green Project". 

We are dressing up as the two wizards Gandalf The Grey and Sauroman's walk on the same path that they did 12 years ago to the month.  

They had photo's of how they edited the greenery to look more foreign and added large castles and small props in the distance so they would look large in the scenes. 

Our guide brought along a cape, ears, and bow and arrow for us to pose on the same spot as Orlando Bloom in his famous shot. Montana looked positively elvish.
