This Sunday I tried to drive to a lake called Lake Alta, that is situated in the mountain range called The Remarkables, where they filmed the continuation of the scene where the fellowship escapes The Mines of Moria in the first Lord of the Rings movie (the scene started at Mt. Owen where I flew with the helicopter), but it wasn’t possible to drive all the way and it wasn’t very clear how to walk there and as it was snow and ice on the ground, which I wasn’t equipped for, I didn’t want to explore to much on my own, so I had to give up and return to Queenstown. |
