HIKING

Ended up with the night off work and bored waiting for my kid's flight (delayed!) so I'm checking out some places in the Destination Guide and Search.

Stonehedge Rebuilt

This is a very nice re-creation with some great creative additions made.
Description: This reconstruction of the Neolithic site of Stonehenge attempts to explain its lithology and show how it must have appeared in ancient times. It demonstrates how rays of sun passed between the megaliths during the summer solstice.

ALPHA POINT

It's not entirely clear what the sim is all about here, but it's pretty awesome-looking. The land description says only: "Some kind of demands please send a notecard to Masoon Ringo."

Amazing use of prim.
Teleport: Alpha Point

CHINESE BAMBOO GARDEN

The sim is mostly empty, which you wouldn't believe on first look, because it's really beautiful and interesting. Sort of lonely.

It's very surreal and peaceful.
Sim Description: "a quite place for hanging out, afking and/or do random thoughts....to be closer to your\s self."
Teleport: Bamboo China

Uh..Duran Duran Universe

Out of sheer curiosity I have to visit. On the Destination Guide, there's many different categories: Nature, Pets, LGBT Friendly, Music, Role Play...and Duran Duran. It has 14 entries. WTF!

This is an underwater club included in Duran Duran Universe.

Description: "Hidden beneath the seas of the Duran Duran Universe is the super secret UFO Club, an adventurous club and bar where anything can happen. Rumor has it that members of the band have played a spontaneous deejay gig or two here... Part of THE DDU - The Duran Duran Universe owned by the legendary band Duran Duran."
Teleport: Duran Duran Club

Inside the Giant Lipstick Tower (you can't make this stuff up) at Duran Duran Universe.

Description: "Dance to you favorite Duran Duran tracks at the club located at the base of the Lipstick Tower. As you ascend each level, fans will find other surprises. Don't overlook Mechakucha, a sushi restaurant at the top level with a view to a kill."
Teleport: Giant Lipstick Club

Machu Picchu

This is a place I'd like to go in real life. Pretty nice re-creation here.

Description: "The Citadel of Machu Picchu, the legendary Inca´s Village, one of the 7 new marvels of the world. Hosted by University de San Martin de Porres from Peru."
Teleport: Machu Picchu

SLRR (SL Railroad)

In the northern"atoll" continent, there's a long railroad system. Katia and I used to have a couple homes on this continent, in Carolina and Cristat and Penan. The SLRR is part of the Linden Labs infrastructure and crosses 85+ Sims. The hub is a "Main Street" themed town. I rented a little shop for GOHA just because I really liked the little town. Looks like Iowa :)

Cadenza

Description: The centerpiece of Cadenza is the piano inside the hollowed-out tree trunk with the swirling rays of light spiraling around it. However, the nearby art exhibition and bunny dome are just as enchanting and deserve a look.
