YouTube Video Description

This was NOT the cruise excursion we wanted. This was not Hobbiton. We were supposed to be in Aukland, New Zealand, but a cyclone forced us to skip that port and visit Christchurch instead. We were recommended at $250 cruise excursion called Journey to Middle Earth a Lord of the Rings inspired tour. We ventured deep into the New Zealand Alps. Here is our unexpected cruise journey.
