They tend to do London last, so I reckon it may even be June until they get there.

Do they? Oh dear, going to England several times that year would be such a hassle...

I currently manage to grab 2 trips a year!

And such a hassle...not, obviously

Yep, particularly as we normally get to stay with friends...I've just texted them to ask about April- not heard back yet!

Currently in Wellington airport waiting for our flight home, I will have to post photos of the awesome giant Hobbit sculptures they have in the food court!

Just arrived Melbourne airport, stuck in customs queue before we can continue our journey home. Kids got to visit pilots on the flight deck, wish I could have asked if they've listened to Cabin Pressure

Hope you get all the way home safe! And I'd LOVE to see those figures when you get the time!
Offline
Same from me, ukaunz, and that's nice that they got to see the pilot's cockpit. I have never gotten such a privilege as a kid.

Safe flight back, ukaunz!

Wow! Those sculptures are amazing!! And you got to pet Smaug!
Offline
Smaug truly was Magnificent. His eye was really cleverly done - it actually glowed and moved. Apparently smoke used to come out of his nostrils too.

Fantastic! I would have squealed if that was me! And yes, I would absolutely have needed to pet him!
I might also have petted the poster of Sherlock and John at the cinema... *cough* my excuse is that one of my pain meds have a bit of an opiate effect and I can sometime doubt if I'm actually experiencing stuff... So... touch is very, very important.
I love how serious NZ is taking LOTR and The Hobbit though, my friends and I all dream of visiting sometime; a pilgrimage!

I think NZ is very desirable anyway...but hey, Smaug is fabulous!

Oh, they take it very seriously in NZ; Peter Jackson has done so much for NZ tourism! They are very proud of it all, as well they should be. It's such a beautiful country that produces great talents.

I trust you had a more than pleasant stay?
