Sailing Across the Pacific Ocean 2013 (Part 29) - Hobbiton and The Shire
Rotorua was the first stop on my list. I was really only stopping here to go to The Hobbiton/Shire site, but there ended up being much more to love in Rotorua. I stayed at the Downtown Backpackers Hostel, which was fantastic. They are really supportive of low-budget travelling and give a lot away free. They'll even let you work if you can't pay for something.
But enough of that. The Hobbiton site was INCREDIBLE. It was just so serene and peaceful. I want to buy real estate there and just grow my own farm.

After I got back from the Shire, I found out a very dear friend of mine passed away. I will try to keep my blog updated best I can, but as it is now, I am just waiting to fly home.
A man unmatched in his sincerity and reliability. He would never judge a person and always accepted you for who you were.
