NEW ZEALAND - NORTH ISLAND - DAY 03 - PART 03 - HOBBITON MOVIE SET - PART 02

Ok, jom sambung cerita lawatan ke Hobbiton Movie Set. 

Bila banyak taman dan pokok-pokok bunga maka there a lots of insects including this beautiful bee. 

Puncak bukit di Hobbiton ada Hobbit hole Bag End milik Bilbo Baggins dan atasnya ada this huge fake tree that was found elsewhere, cut to pieces and assembled here with silk leaves attached. Imagine the work involved in 'creating' this tree yang cuma ada dalam movie beberapa saat sahaja.

Berjalan turun bukit to explore the next section of this village.

The Party Tree.

Kolam 'The Water' dan 'The Green Dragon Inn'. Kami akan dibawa Donovan, our Hobbiton Movie Set guide, ke sana.


Walking down Bagshot Row. 

Passed by another wonderful Hobbit hole.


Ehh.. ada kambing biri-biri di bukit tu.

Patut la nampak slim rupanya dah kena cukur.. hehe. So cute 😊.


Satu lagi perigi. 

It was a rather nice walk although it was getting warmer.

Some nice huge shady trees.

Rasanya pintu depan Hobbit hole yang ini is on the other side of this mount.

Apple and pear trees.


Look real enough to me.. hehe.

Passed by a few more Hobbit holes. Di Hobbiton ni ada 44 buah Hobbit holes.




Hobbiton ini memang berbukit-bukit tapi tak lelah nak panjat sebab landai.

Bag End di atas tu.

Bag End dan pokok oak palsu.

Another Hobbit hole.


Ini rumah Hobbit pembuat keju.

Ada tingkap terbuka. Curious nak tengok ada apa di dalam tu sebab all the other Hobbit holes cuma facade je. Jom intai.

Waaa... ada bongkah-bongkah keju beberapa color atas rak. 

And jars of pickled fruits and vegetables.

Yang tak tahan tu siap ada kain lapik renda atas rak-rak ni. Super nice! Love the attention to details!

Di depan Hobbit hole ni juga ada small table with cheese. For sampling agaknya.. hehe.

Cheese complete with cheese board and cutter.

Blue door Hobbit hole.

Then Donovan bawa kami pass through the Party Field di mana letaknya The Party Tree. Dalam filem di sinilah Bilbo's Farewell Birthday Party dibuat. 

The Party Tree. Either a beech or an oak.
"They've cut it down!' cried Sam. 'They've cut down the Party Tree!' He pointed to where the tree had stood under which Bilbo had made his Farewell Speech. It was lying lopped and dead in the field... As if this was the last straw Sam burst into tears."
- The Return of the King, "The Scouring of the Shire"

Colorful lanterns juga digantung semasa farewell party tu. 



Kena la ada satu lagi foto bersama depan Hobbit hole ni 😊.

Menuju ke Green Dragon Inn.


Walking downhill along The Merry Meander. More awesome views.




My lovely 💗.


Kolam 'The Water'.



Sprawling hill with grazing sheeps under blue sky. 

So picturesque.

A big old wooden barrel of fine ale in Hobbiton.




Di ladang Ian Alexander ni ada banyak biri-biri tapi sekor pun tak digunakan dalam filem because they needed black-faced sheep, not white seperti yang ada di New Zealand ni. 

Jadi beratus, mungkin beribu biri-biri muka hitam diterbangkan ke lokasi ini dari England. Dengan pemeriksaan biosekuriti yang ketat macam mana lah agaknya mereka buat itu semua. Pastinya dapat special arrangement dan kerjasama dari kerajaan New Zealand.

Breathtakingly beautiful. Alhamdulillah cuaca baik hari tu.



Di hujung sana tu ialah The Green Dragon Inn.

Kena la juga dapatkan satu shot biri-biri and their reflections 😊.




Stone bridge over The Water.

Stone bridge over The Water dalam filem. Atas kereta kuda tu ialah Gandalf dan Frodo.


Hobbiton community board.

So cute, right!

The mill di tepi kolam.

Crossing the stone bridge.



Kincir air.

Pemandangan dari jambatan batu Hobbiton.








Tiba di Green Dragon Inn. 

Maka selesailah Hobbiton Walking Tour kami. Took about 2 jam juga la. Lepas tu kami diberi masa berehat lebih kurang 1/2 jam di Green Dragon Inn ini sebelum naik semula bas balik ke The Shire's Rest, tempat van kami diparkir.

Green Dragon Inn ini adalah Frodo Baggins' favorite pub.



Suka betul the details and rustic look. 

Inilah suasana dalam Green Dragon Inn.
Green Dragon Inn, di mana Bilbo Baggins bertemu dengan Thorin Oakenshield sebelum mereka berlepas ke adventure mereka untuk menuntut semula 'The Ring'.

Traditional ales, cider and non alcoholic ginger beer, all brewed exclusively for Hobbiton, are served from barrels behind the bar at the Green Dragon Inn. 

Bergambar dengan Donovan, our Hobbiton Movie Set guide.


Alahai.. nampak macam lega sangat dapat duduk.. hehe. Macam la walking tour tadi strenuous sangat.. hahaha. Pak cik tua dah.. hehe.

Oh ya, tour guide kami Haziq juga suka ambil gambar. So saya selitkan a few of the photos he took dalam entries NZ saya.

Jom explore Green Dragon Inn ini. Ada fire place.

Nice ambiance.

Of course la must take photo dekat fire place.. hehe.



Interior dan furniture semua wooden.

The Green Dragon Inn has been faithfully reproduced both inside and out. The wood, stone and earth-like colors used in its construction and design make it feel warm and inviting. Bright colors hang in the bar in the form of steins and jugs, and carved grape vines curl around some of the wood work.

Inilah carving the Green Dragon. 

The Green Dragon.








Bergambar di luar Green Dragon Inn.

Anjung luar Green Dragon Inn.

Kemudian kami ke tepi kolam and took a few photos. Views like these cannot resist la.. hehe. 


Kincir air.

Di tengah dataran depan Green Dragon Inn ini ada satu tiang.

Di atas tiang tu ada satu lagi simbol Green Dragon. Nice.

The mill/kincir air dan stone bridge.

Dalam movie.


Kami berkumpul di sini, di tepi Green Dragon Inn untuk berjalan balik semula ke entrance Hobbiton.

While waiting, ambil lagi a few more shots. 


Hobbit holes di tepi The Water.


Tempat menunggu ni pun cantik benor. 







Lepas semua group members dah gathered, kami berjalan dibawa Donovan menyusuri kolam besar ini ke East Farthing.


Yes indeed, please keep your distance from the electric fences.



View of the mill and bridge stone dari hujung kolam belah sini.

Berhenti sekejap untuk ambil gambar sebaris Hobbit holes di tepi kolam.

Same view dalam movie.

So beautiful.







Lalu semula di The Garden.


Anggur pun ada.



Haziq, our tour guide di NZ bergambar di depan Hobbit hole.

Sampai sahaja di entrance Hobbiton, bas pun tiba. Very well organized.

Passed by again ladang Ian Alexander.


Cantik sangat.





Bergambar kenangan before leaving the Hobbiton Movie Set.


With that maka berakhir la sudah my 2 parts cerita lawatan kami at the amazing Hobbiton Movie Set. Memang sangat recommend la kepada sesiapa yang nak ke NZ ni, singgah di sini. Like I said, tak kisah if you are a fan or not, just visit, sure have a good time lah 😊.

Both of us particularly love all the inside stories how this wonderful place came to be. They are quite fascinating! Also we love it that it was a guided tour sebab the tour covers the all essentials. And with a guide, banyak la kami dapat dengar the behind the scene stories which made the walking tour more interesting.

Note:
Semua screenshots filem adalah dari movies The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King dan The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey.

    1. Thanks :).

      Takk.. mereka guna the original black-faced sheep.. hehe..

      Ada berfoto atas stone bridge tu tapi adalah tidak sesuai dipaparkan di sini.. hahahaha... quite unflattering actually.. hehehe...

      How cute are those notices, right!

      Doc, di NZ ni byk lokasinya macam dalam poskad. Permukaan buminya cukup indah sekali. SubhanAllah.

      Quite the contrary. Ginger beer tu was absolutely delish. I can taste the ginger but it was not overwhelming sampai pedih tekak. Just a hint but I know there's ginger in the ingredient. Plus it was frizzy, so the just seals it quite nicely. Tah apa2 kan I review pasal drinks.. hahaha..
      In other words drink tu sedap! Not like the F&N Ginger Ale yang ada di M'sia ni. Rasa halianya tersangatlah kuat. I guess it was meant to be that way la.

Hehehe.. but of course you must bergambar beria-ia sebab you dah travel all the way there and moreover the place is really beautiful and there are so many instagram worthy spots to take photos at :). Tak compulsory kena tgk movies tu sebelum ke Hobbiton.. hehe... In fact, dlm group kami tu yg majority org putih, mereka pun ramai tak tgk any of the movies.
      Yes, drink yg non-alcoholic tu boleh minum and included in the entrance fee.
