Andalasia:
After going past the Meadows of Joy and the Valley of Contentment, I finally reached Andalasia! If I’m going to be completely serious, because I always am, it was super strange. Everybody just kept on singing instead of talking. There was also a girl singing in a tree house with a bunch of also singing chipmunks and other animals. I tried to warn her about rabies, but she just wouldn’t listen. She kept saying something about a prince, and asking me what a good mouth would be for the weird dummy that she was making.
So, overall, the place was charming and beautiful, but the locals were a little crazy. I would recommend it, but I don’t exactly know how you’re going to get there, though I was told that I could just jump through a manhole, I didn’t want to do that.
The Shire:
Middle earth wasn’t difficult to get to, I just simply went to the middle of the earth. I must say, this was the one place in the world where I truly felt tall. The people who live there, the hobbits, were welcoming, and even though I had to sleep in a hill, it wasn’t the worst vacation! The people there did have something against shoes, but who am I to judge?
I would definitely say that this is a good place to go on vacation, and although strange, their underground homes were quite charming-so much nicer than the sleeping accommodations at Mordor.
