Chapter 312 The Hobbit

To visit Waitomo Fireworm Cave, you must take a manpower boat and then walk up the bridge. When the tour guide pulls the rope to push the boat forward, he gradually enters the darkness where he can't see his fingers.

Walking further, Johnson found that light and shadows were shaking in the water ahead. He suddenly found that the top of his head was already covered with fireflies like stars, like a river of light flowing slowly...

These stars are reflected on the water, like a mirror of pearls, which is so beautiful. Such a dreamy scene makes everyone amazed and amazed at the magic of the Creator.

Dreamy fireflies, stalactites and caves of various shapes, countless underground rivers and flowing water caves form an underground maze. Thousands of fireflies shine brightly in the caves, as bright as stars.

Close observation revealed that the fireflies here are completely different from the fireflies in China. We are a small beetle, most of which live in areas with lush plants, and only drink water or eat pollen and nectar.

These fireflies are two-winged insects. Most of them live in caves. Each fireflies can spit out up to 70 transparent silk threads, the longest is nearly 20 cm.

This beautiful underground world is 12,000 years old so far, and is still carved by underground rivers day and night. The entrance to the cave is dark and narrow, and the crisp tinging sound of the stream beside the stone steps makes it a unique flavor of adventure.

Stalactites and stalagmites with different shapes in the cave will make people shine. There are many fossil remains of shellfish and seafood creatures on the rock wall, all of which prove its long history.

Then change the boat to reach the depths of the cave. Along the way, you will see mysterious vortexes and waterfalls flying down, and finally arrive at the dreamy fireflies cave. The fireflies here will emit blue light, like stars in the sky, as if they are in an illusion.

I left Queenstown two days later, which impressed Johnson. I could come and go shopping, hunting and some seafood every year, which was great.

When you come to Auckland, the landmark is Sky Tower, which is 28 meters high, which is higher than Sydney's Ap Tower and Paris Eiffel Tower. There are three glass elevators with a speed of 18k/h, and it only takes 40 seconds to get from the bottom of Sky Tower to the top.

Experience the sk    alk, and experience the feeling of looking down on everything on the 12-meter-wide walking path outside the observation deck. The sides of the walking path are empty, with only 192-meter-long landing cables.

There are no handrails on both sides, only full-body safety equipment and high-altitude safety belts to ensure safety. The body position has exceeded the working area of ​​the window cleaner and has actually been integrated into the scenery.

These are just a little bit of a joke for Johnson, and they are not exciting, so it's okay to see the scenery.

I went to the zoo to see the legendary kii birds that have long been famous. Because they are national birds, the chances of seeing them in other zoos are zero. Even at the Auckland Zoo, I have to try my luck, because they don’t have wings and can’t fly, they basically have no ability to protect themselves, and they are timid, so they only come out to find food at night.

After watching half of the world, I almost finished playing, and I ate a lot of what I should eat, and I just watched it. Now there are fewer and fewer things that can make my eyes shine, and I see them every time.

I really like this city, located on a narrow isthmus between two harbors, surrounded by sea on three sides, and life cannot be separated from the ocean. From the fashionable boutiques and cafés in the city center, you can taste wine on an island in Haulaki Bay within half an hour, or hike through natural rainforests, or stroll along the black sandy beaches on the rough west coast.

Unexpectedly, the city can also hunt, with the main target being the night-occurring possum, marsupials invaded by Australia, and local people are encouraged to hunt them. It is about five or six kilograms, the size of a puppy.

In fact, there are many New Zealanders in London, after all, that is the home of their ancestors. Young New Zealanders come to work in the UK, just like juniors go to the homes of elderly people, and rarely meet outside.

Although the vowels are flat and often joked by British people, they never care about it. The only thing that makes the good-tempered New Zealanders unhappy is to mix them with the Australians.

Although they are close neighbors, people here have always defined themselves as the descendants of explorers. The ancestors voluntarily chose to settle in New Zealand, many of whom were Scots, with the chivalrous and adventurous spirit of the mountain nation.

Those who immigrated to Australia were more of the criminals who were exiled to distant desert islands. Early immigrants needed perseverance to reclaim wasteland and build farms. So they still loved outdoor sports and adventure, paragliding, bungee jumping, and yow balls in their hearts.

Young people who have been in trouble for a few years have earned some pounds and traveled around the world. After having children, they have the idea of ​​returning to their hometown. They have been to a more peaceful, relaxed, slower pace, less anxiety, better school and fresher air.

This is Hollywood's favorite filming location, such as "Lord of the Rings", "The Hobbit", "King Kong", "Avatar", "The Legend of Narnia", etc. For example, the Hobbit Village was filmed for more than ten days, but it was permanently preserved.

There are 44 caves in the Hobbit Village, which is a wonder of Middle Earth. Each cave house is designed with unique design and colorful decoration. Every day, craftsmen carefully take care of every tree and grass here.

You can see the green hillsides dotted with mirror-like lakes, and the semicircular cave wooden houses inhabited by the Hobbits are scattered among them, along with stone arch bridges, mountain paths, fences and gardens, forming a pleasant pastoral painting with a fantasy flavor.

At the end of the film, due to copyright reasons, the sets of "Lord of the Rings" and "The Hobbit" set up in New Zealand must be demolished and destroyed after filming, but the owner of the Hobbit Village negotiated to protect the bottom of the bag and repair it to welcome worshipers from all over the world.

The small and exquisite bag-bottom pit, Hulk Inn, Mill and Banquet Tree, the scenes appearing in these movies have attracted many fans of the Lord of the Rings. In addition, the cafes here, the streets covered with towering ancient trees and the rolling green valleys will also attract tourists to stop and enjoy.

Along the way, I saw many humans repairing houses and gardens. I learned that due to the shortage of labor, Shire set up an orkg holida program for young people. Healthy humans aged 18 to 60 can apply.

I accept applications all year round, including gardeners, carpenters, cast iron masters, winemakers, tour guides, police teams, etc. There is always one suitable for you. Food and accommodation are included, and the salary is determined by the type of work and working hours. Double grain and bonus at the end of the year.

When you walk into the tavern, you still preserve the mid-terrestrial appearance of Middle-earth, which is very nostalgic. There are barley beer, ginger soda, coffee, hot cocoa, as well as apple pie and various cakes.

The drinks are provided for free, but the taste is not very authentic. It is probably not made by the Hobbits, but should be made by young humans during working holidays.
