Breakfast today was chocolate chip cookie bought from Countdown and old town coffee from singapore. The loud talking from the people in the hotel woke me up, really irritating.
Check out from hotel and walked to Sky City Coach Terminal. Board the Intercity bus to Matamata. Deposit our baggage at the I site and went on Hobbiton tour.
Nothing fantastic about this place, not sure why a lot people came here.
All about hobbit house shown in the movie.
After Hobbiton tour, we took Intercity bus to Hamilton for a night stay before going to Waitomo Caves the next day. Eagles Nest Backpackers for a night stay.
Weird people in Hamilton. 1 guy talking to me not sure what he said, ignore. Teenagers posed and asked me to take photo of them when I took out my camera, ignore them. Guys doing gym made lots of noise and made funny faces when I looked at them, ignore. The reception guy showed us our room and said the light funny, etc funny and we asked "you gave us a funny room?"
