Day 7 - P2P Journey Through the South Pacific

Kia Ora! That means welcome in Maori. We finally landed in New Zealand yesterday. I love the rain here because it smells pure. I do not smell chemicals and gasoline! Definitely not in Las Vegas anymore. Haha LOL. Last night was amazing because I got to stay at a Marae. I enjoyed the welcoming ceremony.  My favorite part was watching the haka and performing "Happy" by Pharell Williams. The food was very delicious too. There was meat, potatoes, and gravy! Yummm.....gravy. The morning was fantastic. The pipping, hot Milo hot chocolate was to die for. Sipping the rich chocolate and feeling the cool breeze from outside the dining area was perfect. I love winter in July! The rest of the day was searching for Hobbits. He he he. We went on a tour of Hobbiton!  It was cool to dine in the Green Dragon for lunch. I am not a fan of the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings series, but is was still awesome to see the set. I did not know that the background of the famous movies were filmed at a farm. From all directions I could see a sheep grazing! I just love sheep. They are so fluffy!!!
