Wedding pictures and Honeymoon

In case anyone missed it, here is the LINK to the wedding pictures.  Feel free to order any pictures on there that you like, as the prices seem very reasonable.  However, we will also be getting our own digital copies of the pictures soon.

Before I start getting too lazy however, I did want to put up some of our honeymoon pictures.  When we come down for Christmas we will make sure to bring our honeymoon picture album.

First up Auckland:

Cool tree, we had just got off our flight at this point.

Their own obelisk, theirs come with free sheep.

This was called "one tree hill" I believe.

Our very cozy bed and breakfast, the hostess was very nice, though tended to talk a lot.

Random Dragon bench.  Rachel seems oddly possessive of it.

This is Auckland in the background.

Lots of beautiful beaches, though it was too cold to swim at the time we were there.

Auckland, as you can see by the clouds is was kinda rainy and cloudy when we were there.

Matamata and Hobbiton:

I believe this was a 3/4 scale hobbit house.

Every now and again I would let Rachel take pictures.

They keep a staff of people to do the gardening and upkeep.

Bag End

At the Green Dragon, the guest book.  Though we weren't allowed to sign it ourselves.

The Green Dragon Pub had some nice fun touches on the inside.

This was a full size hobbit hole, well for the 6' hobbits at least.

The maximum height for female hobbits during casting was under 5'2", so Rachel could have been a hobbit extra!

The infamous "Party Tree" where Bilbo had his birthday in the Fellowship of the Ring.

Party area again, and you can see some chimneys from the other Hobbit holes.

Inside of the Green Dragon Pub.  They recreated the interior at Hobbiton, and this was the only building with an inside.

I don't think the fish was real...
