You can actually go and visit the Hobbiton movie set from the famous Lord of the Rings trilogy and Hobbit films. And OMG, is it just the cutest thing you've ever seen! So cute in fact, that you'll want to move in and live in one of the Hobbit Holes forever. And EVER.

2. No other burgers will ever compare.

As big as your face and as moist as you like, this burger is the daddy of all burgers. Choose from a mouth-watering menu selection, go for the Chief Wiggum, you won't regret it.

3. You'll spend most days weeping at the sheer beauty of your surroundings.

Known as the "adventure capital of the world" New Zealand is a thrill-seeker's dream. With a plethora of adrenaline activities including white water rafting, jet boating, sky diving and bungy jumping to name a but a few, this country means business! But, you might get the wrong idea and attempt to jump out of your Emirates A380 on your flight back to the UK. Do not attempt this.
