Just in case you thought we Kiwis were going to let another day go by without
torturing you some more sharing more of the love, here are some more
Wellingmoot images for your enjoyment. If you missed the first lot, here's
the link to my previous picture post. (also look here.)
FRIDAY evening
We had a our very own actual Friday Fiesta to kick the weekend
off. Here's Flat Frodo with the cake that Leggylass decorated for the
occasion.

SATURDAY
Another dreamy shot of Lothlorien aka Fernside Estate, our first stop
Saturday morning on our day-tour of Wairarapa filming locations.

A bunch of sibs on the Galadribridge at Fernside. Note the
wonderful reflections in the still water -- it was a truly magical
morning (thanks again for getting us in there, Tehanu!).

Saturday afternoon we were out to the Putangirua Pinnacles for a
hike. A bizarre, creepy landscape of unstable-looking, gravelly
cliffs. Standard "badlands" geology, I understand, but something quite
rare in NZ.

Was this before or after Kerewyn nearly lost her shoe in the mud?

A long drive back to town and then a quick turn-around before The Hobbit stage
play (which has since cancelled in Auckland *grumble on the Kimis behalf*) to
top off a great first day. We were tired TORnsibs by the end of it, and
still two days to go!
SUNDAY
In the morning several people opted for a sleep-in (see above), but the
dedicated few met for a (relaxed but hilarious) game of LOTR Trivial Pursuit at
Leggylass's house. Poor Kerewyn would have won too, if not for the nasty
Ringwraith that kept stealing her wedges! It was pleasant to be safe
inside while watching the interisland ferries battling through a nasssty
storm. Brrr!
That afternoon we spent tucked up at the Embassy theatre watching ROTK.
Did I mention that I sat in Viggo's seat? What a great movie! What
a great theatre!!
Sunday night we all (all 12 of us!) went out for dinner at a yummy Asian
restuarant that Andy Serkis had recommended to someone. Very tasty!
(In the interests of the TORn server, and for the sake of those sibs with slow
dial-up connections, I'll put the rest of the pics I was intending to show you
into another post. Look below for Pt
2...)
