Our next stop was Kaitoke Regional Park where Peter Jackson and crew filmed the Rivendell scenes. Yet another incredible place to explore. Everything was so green and luscious. As we walked along some parts of the park, I asked if King Kong had been filmed there as well. Ted smiled, agreed with me that it definitely looked that way - but the Kong jungle scenes were all digital.
In the photo below, the kids and I were a bit leery of "hiding" in the tree. I quickly asked how many poisonous snakes New Zealand had. Because at least 15 out of the top 20 poisonous snakes in the world are from Australia. Ted again smiled, and said, "None!" In fact, there are NO snakes on either island.
And here is the third segment in the who knows how many more for just day one in New Zealand Tour Videos... hope you enjoy!
