I checked out of the Wellington hostel and went to the car rental place to pick up the car. I got there a bit early so I decided to go to a bakery near by to have lunch. I had some awesome steak and cheese meat pie. These things are fairly common here in NZ and they are relatively cheap compared to other foods.
After picking up the car I decided to visit 2 filming locations. I was planning to go to 3 but I didnt have time. I went to Harcourt park, which was Isengard in the movie, and Hutt River, which was the river Anduin. Harcourt park was just a regular park so I was pretty disappointed with that, but the river looked nice.
After visiting these places I drove tp Turangi, which was 4 hours drive north. Because I decided to see Hutt river and Harcourt park I had to take the long route to Turangi. But man was it worth it.... the drive winded through mountains and the view was amazing... I shouldve gopro d the drive.
I made it to the hostel around 9 and was lucky the guy was in reception to take me. He is sortof an oddball owner but that just makes him interesting. He counts as the person I met for the day. Heheh. A kiwi that runs the hostel with his family.
