Wairere Falls

On Sunday, we woke up, checked out of our hotel and drove up to Matamata in search of Hobbiton, where they filmed the shire scenes in the Lord of the Rings. We arrived in Matamata, and were unable to take a tour because of timing in making our flight, but drove around through the beautiful country that felt like the Shire. We headed for Wairere falls and hiked up to the top. It was a BEAUTIFUL hike. We had to race to the top in order to make our flight and our legs were like jelly by the time we reached the lookout, but it was worth it. Isaac was a trooper in the backpack the whole time. Then, we were off to the airport and headed back home to Sydney.
