arrow to the whole in Smaug’s chest. It was indeed a very brave thing he did. and you all deserve a good vacation, and
this is why we are here to show you
With Smaug dead, and his treasure left there are people coming with their armies to take their some good places you can visit, in your
share, But Thorin does not believe that they should be given the any share of the treasure as he believes he and
his fellow dwarves are the ones who rightfully get it because of his grandfather who was the King under the vacation. It is a 3-days 2 nights package

where the Battle of the Five armies was
The look-out tells how there are armies coming and setting their camps near the
Lonely Mountain, and how they are sending orders to begin the battle tomorrow morning. The
army of the Lake men had a very large number of soldiers and Bilbo knew for sure that Thorin’s
army was surely out-numbered. It was because of this that Bilbo goes to Brad the following night
and hands over the Arkenstone, which anyone can trade for their life. On hearing this news Thorin
is highly upset and angry on Mr. Bilbo Baggins’, Thorin was still angry when Gandalf came and
saved Bilbo from Thorvin’s blind fury.
At that moment the fierce Goblins had arrived with Wargs to approach the
mountain, in order to win against these creatures the Lake men, elves and dwarves had to unite
and they did so, it was very difficult to win this battle but soon the eagles arrived as they were
tracking the goblins, but although the eagles had arrived they were still out-numbered to the
goblins and the wargs, and it was then that Beorn himself had arrived in the battle field but not in
his human form, in his giant bear form, he himself killed the goblins and crushed the head of Bolg
and looking at this the other goblins fled for the battle field.
But at the end Thorin was badly hurt. Bilbo was called to meet him. As Bilbo saw Day 1 : Reach the Lonely Mountain and
