We headed out on a wee drive to find were they filmed Rohan and Edoras from lord of the rings and we saw some penguins too.

all the county side looked like it was in the film!

I think this bit was.

and maybe this place?

and here?

Edoras

this was definitely in the film.

it was rather remote.

we had to drive over some rather muddy roads to get here and they hadn't even left the film set to look at!

look what the trip did to our poor car!

a penguin

this was a yellow eyed penguin. the rarest type in the world. you couldn't go down to the beach in case you scared them away from their nesting sites.

however, this one just woddled past us on the cliff!

only 2 feet away. fab!

got even closer to this one!
