27/02/14 : ON THE WAY TO THE SHIRE



Day 22, Rotorua - Tirau (about 50km)


 
We leave Rotorua beginning of afternoon to head for Matamata, the city where has been created Hobbiton aka The Shire in the movie "The Lord Of the Ring".
At the beginning the landscape is mainly made of mountains but further up wide hills of dried grass are taking over. This is due to the warmth of the North Island. Pines Forest vanished whereas fields along with wide trees are scattered irregulary, overthrowing all the landscape. We feel we are close from the Shire.
Tonight, we stop at Tirau City, which is between Rotorua and Matamata. We will sleep in a small park located at the end of the city.
