Going to Wellington was possibly the best trip that I have ever been on. It definitely satisfied the Lord of the Rings nerd within me, and it was just a beautiful city. It wasn't as big as Perth, but my god it was definitely more vibrant. You had the main culture strip that was full of every shop you could possibly think of. And I was staying on the corner of it. It was so awesome.
The LotR tour I went on blew my mind. It was just me and some guy from Norway or something. Our tour guy was really cool, and his brother actually works at Weta Workshop. He was telling us about how one tour he gave, it was around the time of the Weta Christmas Party. So when they went past the workshop, Richard Taylor (the head of the workshop) came out and invited them in! But apparently the family weren't really huge fans, so they didn't get into it. I was like :o I would have totally gone insane if that was me. And the tour guy agreed that the whole thing was wasted on them. Devastating!
But yeah, that was the best trip I've ever been on. We got to go to so many locations. The Rivendell location was so beautiful. It was this rainforest, and it was a bit of a trek to get to it. But it was totally worth it. The only bad thing was that it was freezing cold! My hair was turning to ice! But oh well. I definitely want to go back there someday.
