BBG: Hobbit Returns To Find Middle Earth Has Become Expensive

In a fake cave in a Wellington suburb, tourists pose by a statue of Gandalf, a hero of the “Lord of the Rings” films that boosted New Zealand’s economy by more than $580 million. The country needs the wizard’s magic more than ever when he returns next month.

I, for one, would not even think about the value of the kiwi and fly down there after our Thanksgiving Day holiday just to take in the views.

Hope ‘Gandalf’ will work some magic and boost their tourism a little.
