One of the favorite movie series in the Fraser household is Lord of the Rings…at least for Ron, Tanner, and Justin. Of course being in New Zealand presents many opportunities to tour various film locations. We chose to do the tour in Twizel, where they filmed many of the scenes from the Return of the King. Specifically we were at the location where the Pelennor Fields scenes were filmed. The tour was fantastic as the guide was actually present during some of the filming and was very knowledgeable about what transpired during the 30 days the film crew was at this sight. Even Kim left the tour with a new appreciation for the movie, although she will still not watch it. The kids all had a great time as they got to handle swords and dress up as orcs.
