...and below is a photo of us outside the glowworm caves.

Outside the caves there were even more agapanthus.
Then on to the Otorohanga Kiwi House where we actually saw real, live Kiwi - those in the picture above are stuffed but you can imagine them. Kiwi are nocturnal and so the Kiwi House had fooled the birds into thinking it was night time and letting a couple of them out into "moonlit" enclosures where we could see them. At feeding time, the female Kiwi, who was very territorial, would attack her keeper with the food bowl by biting and kicking between mouthfuls of food. Strange behaviour.
However, there were other birds to be photographed.
Then to Hobbiton and a tour of the movie set from the
Lord of the Rings trilogy and The Hobbit.
We walked around the village to see the houses...
...and took lots of photos outside the dwellings...
...then across the bridge...
...to a nice peaceful corner of the Green Dragon Inn.
Unfortunately there was no-one at home on the day we visited!
