New Zealand - Half of the Island

I'm a moderately sized Lord of the Rings fan, so heading to New Zealand to visit Hobbiton was a dream of mine I was able to complete. Myself and a few buddies flew into Auckland before we bounced around the north island. Hobbiton of course was the highlight, but a walking tour of a bio-luminescent glow worm cave was a close second. If you ever make it to New Zealand, another area to check out is Rotorua, where you take a sky tram up a hill and can go cart down it. One day I plan to head to the more adventurous south island, but that's for another day.
