Hi Abby!
Do you remember The Lord of the Rings films? We saw them on DVD last year.
Those beautiful mountains, valleys and rivers from the films are in New Zealand, and
guess what? I’m going to go there and see them! My dad and I are going on holiday
to New Zealand, and we’re going to take a Lord of the Rings tour.
Peter Jackson, the film director, chose New Zealand because of its green hills and
valleys, forests, rivers and lakes. There are high mountains and volcanoes and there
are beautiful waterfalls, too. Do you remember those cold white mountains in the
films? Well, they’re real glaciers!
In the films, Frodo, Gandalf, Aragorn and their companions walked in dark forests,
hiked over mountains and sailed on a wide river, and Dad and I are going to do
those things, too. And … I’m going to climb a glacier!
Dad and I went shopping yesterday. We bought coats, boots and warm socks. We’re
leaving on Monday, and we’re going for two weeks. I’m very excited!
