We're Gokce and Steve! On the second stop of our world tour we landed in Auckland
and rented a car to get into the city.
We decided to take it easy on our first night before our big road trip that we had planned for today
Good morning!
Today we're gonna take you to the Hobbiton movie set, I am so excited,
So am I!
it's really been one of my dreams to see the movie set, I grew up on those books,
seeing the movies every time they came out around Christmas time with my father
so, I'm excited to show Gokce.
It's about two hours South so we're gonna drive there with our rental car and let's go grab breakfast,
yes, and get prepared for the day
We made it to the carpark and we are right here.
We are heading over to the Hobbiton!
Alright, let's go!
We got our tickets on
Klook!
What is Klook Steve?
Which is the Asian slash
Australian version of Groupon and they had it for about seven US dollars per person
cheaper and it just comes as an electronic voucher
Welcome to Hobbiton!
Thank you!
We got our tickets!
We are gonna get in a bus and head to the movie set from here
Hello!
You are late!
A wizard is never late Frodo Baggins .
Nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he means to.
Our very own Hobbit Hole!
The door is open!
What is for sale? Good conditions...a wheelbarrow!
Continuing the tour!
So this is what happens when hobbits want to be next-door neighbors
They get adjoining Hobbit Holes!
Gokce is almost hobbit-sized, almost!
Well, they mentioned that we're gonna have
a cold beer later, I'm so looking forward to it right now!
it's so nice outside!
The original tree above Bag End was real, but brought in from
a neighboring farm, for The Hobbit movies though, it was replaced with a younger
tree that's actually a fake
there are a lot of fruits & vegetables here
they're doing actual farming and they basically implied that we can steal some
when they're not looking! Something like that! So I'm looking forward to an opportunity
where I can do that! The groundskeepers get to take home
the vegetables and fruits that they grow, which is pretty cool
Another fun fact, Peter Jackson actually had someone rehang the wet clothes on
the set each morning to make it look more authentic when shooting.
Hey boys!
What's the news? Where are you going? No grass for me...
All right you guys have fun!
So Gokce right now is filming on the GoPro, the Hobbit Hole or well she's filming
butterflies, because she's more interested in the butterflies than Bag End...
Here it is!
No, Thank you!
It's incredibly actually to be where your
childhood movie was filmed.
I think we lost our group, but we met this cute
couple from Germany, they are helping us out with the pictures and everything
and now next we're gonna go to the pub and have a beer, obviously, they(Germans) are experts
of the, you know, beer!
It really feels unreal, it's funny, because it's a movie set
obviously, this is UNREAL!
Inconceivable!
Alright...
Now heading over to...
I'm running to get my beer!
Catch up!!
Run Steve!
Steve, they are giving free beer, did you hear that?
Your favorite thing!
Finally made it to the Inn. "The Inn"
Thank you!
We are here, with our beers!
So we made it to the Green Dragon and finally and we're enjoying our beers.
And it is super hot
these are so worth it! It really feels so good right now! I am not gonna lie!
This has been such a cool experience to share it with Gokce, because she has watched
the movies but she hasn't watched it recently, I haven't really watched it
recently but I am a nerd, so I remember this stuff,
but if you make it to New Zealand, we really hope you can make it here to Hobbiton,
it was amazing!
I am so glad I got to see it. I wish my dad could see it!
Next time dad, we will take you with us!
Promise, yeah!
So we thank you so much for
watching and we hope you subscribe to our channel
ring the bell for notifications
and we will see you on the next one!
so Gokce is having fun in the background and for those curious
this park is called Albert Park and Gokce is having the time of her life
in Albert Park here in Auckland, New Zealand and it's right by Auckland University
