Regardless, we had an amazing time: we woke up at 5 a.m., got there at 8 a.m., got free ginger beer at 11 a.m., and came back to the hostel at 2PM. It was an incredible feeling to wander around in this cinematic world. The rolling\u202fhills were gorgeous; it really felt like the middle of nowhere! To be honest with you readers, I had only watched the first Lord of the Rings before heading there, yet I really enjoyed my time there, which says a lot about the set! Next week I\u2019m planning on trying food from different cultures and going to Rangitoto Island, a volcanic island in the Hauraki Gulf,\u202fto hike!\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the main causes of\u00a0the\u00a0decline in\u00a0ocean\u2019s health is fishing and fishing-related pollution.
