The Road Trip



It was all very exciting on the 1st of March.  We were up at 6.20am and it was still dark outside, but it's all good, we're going on a road trip - YAY.

But first we stopped at the Hardware Cafe in Titirangi for breakfast and coffee (Bib said it's the best coffee she's ever had - apparently Tom made it).  Then we were off.

We headed south and arrived at Matamata and this is where we went 



What a great place, lots of photos taken, but we won't put loads on here just a selected few, so here goes.








And then we went for second breakfast with Bilbo Baggins at his hobbit hole in the picture above.




After second breakfast it was time for a drink in the Green Dragon.





It was cider and very delicious it was too.  It is especially brewed for Hobbiton and you can't get it anywhere else.

That was the last of our visit to Hobbiton and so on we went.  The next stop was Rotorua to stretch our legs and then onto Lake Taupo to stay the night.

We found a hotel and restaurant right on the lake front and had a meal sitting right by the window, so we had this view.



And that was the end of the first day of our road trip.
