Looking for adventure?

Of  course, you are looking for adventure, who doesn't? Adventure is kind of what Second Life is all about. We create adventure.

Maybe a Masquerade Ball?

A dance in Heaven?

Your adventure awaits you at the Retreat...

LICK: Byrd Island

"Welcome to Byrd Island. Take a step back in time to explore this once inhabited island. The lighthouse keeper and his family abruptly left the island never to return. Could it have been the birds, or something else? Byrd Island is now open for tours. Check the schedule for the next ferry from the mainland."

A gorgeous place to visit and explore is Byrd Island. If you have a love or interest in birds, you will find them here for sure.

After exploring go and relax in the lighthouse by the fireplace. You hear the birds and ocean waves even in here.
So come and have a look at this really nice place.

Ironwood Hills

The world has seen an apocalypse event and nothing is the same at Ironwood Hills.Are you ready? Do you dare want to come and search for any survivors? 

What really happened here at Ironwood Hills? 

Around every corner there is something you will find and discover, but be warned it may be creepy and eerie. My best advise it to go with someone else...in my case he did not stood a chance...see below.

I know you will have a fantastic adventure here, as the moon light glistening along the forest floor with patterns made by the shadow of the towering trees. Even the wildlife was silent in a way that it seemed like they felt the same cold chill of the fear down their spine and against their cheek. I felt like thousands of eyes seemed to be watching me but none could be seen.

Be extra cautious at the asylum...At the end of the hallway, a solitary brass lamp, itself half lost in darkness, was mounted upon the cracked and yellowing wall. Its two thin, up-thrust arms extended electric candles. Their tapered bulbs cast shadows, transforming the lamp into the visage of some dark god who mocked the light. Perhaps the dreaded deity was Lucifer himself, I thought. So I ran as fast as I could.

Anytime Vacation!!!

“Every person needs to take one day away.  A day in which one consciously separates the past from the future.  Jobs, family, employers, and friends can exist one day without any one of us, and if our egos permit us to confess, they could exist eternally in our absence.  Each person deserves a day away in which no problems are confronted, no solutions searched for.  Each of us needs to withdraw from the cares which will not withdraw from us.”

On the road in Second Norway is always an adventure and you never know what you may see. These two moose were strolling along the road without a care.

Zeek and myself are so lucky to have this vacation home to go to when we need to get away. We offer this home, fully furnished with the best quality and tasteful decor as part as our Honeymoon package.

Want to rent it for a day or weekend? Contact us inworld.

From here you can sail to the Blake Sea or take the Second Norway Railway to the airport and fly.

Windwept

Windwept is one of those places you will go back to several times. Upon the arrival you will see some floating windows and when you click them they will reveal some more creations.
Take some friends with you and explore this fantastic sim.

Herr Kranfel took a little break from flying, but it is just a matter of time before I convince him to take me out over the Second Life skies again. 

Laying on a cloud was almost as fun as flying through the clouds. These are some cute poses for couples here too...

Hope everybody had an enjoyable Cinco de Mayo yesterday...adios for now. I will search for some new locations.

The end of the world as we know it

I was totally impressed with this sim and the chaos it has created. Take your time while you travel through here and look at all the details destruction.

Bring an umbrella, because you will get wet here.

Roundtrip from Prata Airport to Second Norway Lufthavn, part 2

Finally on board the Embraer Phonom 300 and flying over the open seas to the Second Norway Lufthavn.

Herr Kranfel announced that we have 3 minutes of fuel left, however we were still about 5 sims away from landing. What? Who would fly a long distance route without fueling first? At this point I start to wonder, who is this pilot?
But hurrah, we made it on the fumes just in time and it was great to be on the ground again.

If you want to read all about Second Norway Lufthavn just click on the link. It has some amazing photographs and a ton of information. In fact if you love aviation, it has everything you want to know about Second Life Aviation.

The nice pilot "Christian" from Bull Air Airlines offered us to take a trip on their plane, but we were heading back to Prata Airport after a short stay here. And that's no Bull.

A smooth flight and we are back in the tropical forest at Lago de Prato. 

You would think the adventure ends here, but no it does not. Herr Kranfel wanted to also show off his sailing skills and believe it or not you can sail from this airport to the Blake Sea and all the destinations connected from there.

For some reason we did not get far and ended up at the Sailors Cove South in the Cooper Creek Wilderness. This is also a beautiful place to explore, you have to see it and visit this place soon.

The trip ended here...and oh what a hero saving me from the croc OR is he feeding me to that hungry beast?

Gardens of Grace

Another beautiful serene place to visit with someone or just alone. Gorgeous photo ops here.

If you are into weddings, they have a really nice chapel where you can make those vows or just sit and reflect.

Here is your TP to the Gardens of Grace

Bubbles and Clowns

I stopped by Tillicums Island once again to blow my bubbles in the wind and then headed over to the Springfest, which officially opens April 3, 2015.When you get to the Springfest, check out the Carnival. You can try out the fun rides and play some of the games, plus so much more.

OMG, nooooooooo...he is NOT my new BF...nooooooo. Clowns are creepy. They really are.

Sea of Fables to Ice Bay

At the Sea of Fables start at the docks on the Poseidon Island, where you can rez your boat and set sail for adventure on the Sea of Fables. On your journey, you'll encounter small towns, ancient ruins and lots of underwater scenery.

It is a really nice place to sail, quiet and peaceful and less crowded than the Blake Sea.

I will go back here and explore a little more and do some diving here.

Sandcastles and salty tears

At Winter Moon you can dream and relax. I really like the beach setting here. 

"Your arms are my castle 
Your heart is my sky 
They wipe away tears that I cry 
The good and the bad times 
We've been through them all 
You make me rise when I fall."

Island of Grace

The Island of Grace is connected directly with the Salt Water sim. Both are tranquil and calming and really worth a look. I took the "Jungfrau" out in its waters.

Underwater Rescue!!!

About two nautical miles under the blue ocean floor I came across him once again. This time it looked like he needed help. I always wondered about what was up with him standing on an island for hours day and night. Maybe he thought he was a Lighthouse to warn the so many ships who come and take a break here.  

But this time he was in deep water surrounded by fish. He did tell me once that he lived in a pineapple like "Sponge-bob", however I do believe when you are that far down you may lose some of your mind for a short period of time. Do they have pineapples under the sea?

I need to remember when I go sailing to pack up diving gear. All I had was an air tank and a mask and lucky for Mr. Sponge Bob, a snorkel. So, of course I jumped in, took his hand and pulled him up to the surface. You won't believe how heavy a man is, even under water. I think his combat boots are ruined, so hopefully he has enough Lindens to get some new ones. I suggest stay out of the water with leather boots.

Happy Sailing !!! I am sure I will see him on the same spot, same time again. I will be better prepared this time.
