At 5 this morning we docked in the port of Tauranga,New Zealand.

Where?,I hear you say.
Yes, exactly.
Matamata,a town about an hour's drive from Tauranga,was chosen as the  film location for director Peter Jackson's award winning  adaptation of J.R.R.Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy.The movie set was completely rebuilt  as Hobbiton vllage in 2010 for the filming of the 2012  adaptation  of the prequel novel "The Hobbit".

I have nor read any of Mr Tolkien's books.
I have not seen any film adaptation of his books.
What is the likelihood I would want to see the film set?
So today is my "off " day.
I am sitting  in the  immaculate Burger King with the excellent wi-fi,drinking juice and listening to  most awful music.And I am happy.
