Matamata-Hobbiton
I apologize if this was sent multiple times. Contiki webmaster said there have been various issues, but should be cleared up so I hope this posts :P. I was wondering on the Grand Explorer Tour if they have an option to visit Matamata, the movie set of the Shire in Lord of the Rings. If not, since I will be staying at Auckland a few days before the tour, I think I may rent a car & drive there & check it out :).
Matamata-Hobbiton
For the Lord of the Rings fans...is there an optional excursion to go to Matamata (aka Hobbiton) on the Grand Explorer tour?
