Oparau-Raglan-Bridal Veil Falls-Hobbiton-Motutere

27.02.2020

Today I had my morning coffee in the beautiful surf village of Raglan, of course in a small charming surfer cafe. The village is located in a stunning setting with a huge park where you can skate, etc. And of course, there are great waves for surfing. Then I continued about 30 minutes away to the Bridal Veil Falls, which was also very beautiful. And finally, I visited Hobbiton, which was very beautiful and impressive. I had a great guide who knew every line and scene from The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings, etc. And it was amazing to see how many gardeners were working there. And then I continued on my way. The goal was to reach the end of Lake Taupo, so I didn't have to go far for my hike the next day. I found a beautiful spot in Motutere, a camping site by the lake.
