Second Life Destinations

Have you ever visited somewhere and enjoyed it so much that you couldn't wait to get back to tell the world about it? Well it has happened to me and the place is Noelia Island in Second Life. Noelia Island designed by Ida Carlberg and her partner, Lyshco, is actually not one but three islands
The main building on the archipelago is a Tuscan Villa set high up on the hillside of the main island accessible by a Camellia lined path past a terraced vineyard.
It is at the Villa itself that I first noticed the attention to detail which for me makes this sim so enjoyable, the washing line with the attendant washing basket, the potted plants with nearby watering cans, the careful placement of tables and chairs, and together with the house furniture and ornaments nothing seems out of place.

I first went up the hill to visit the Tuscan villa. It is build with love for the details and I spent more time there than I expected. In particular the reading pose on the terrace is really lovely. I can literally see myself doing that in RL…

After my visit to the villa I walked along the shore and came to the mystic cave. It is not a maze, but as the name implies it has some mystic. There’s a ghost welcoming you, there’s a spiders net and a flying chair (of course I also sat on it but looking at it was more fun). I also saw a dance pole in the cave for mystic moments together.

Then I walked over the large rope bridge to the smaller island, the meditation island. There are several spots to mediate also a Buddha as mentioned in the landmark description. I tried several of them but personally I think I’ll get more into mediation with the reading pose at the villa mentioned above. And there’s the stone of wisdom … When you click on it you’ll get wisdoms to think about like…. The Magic Stone of Wisdom says: Don’t make an effort to love the world. Love your internal world and the world will be different. – Byron Katie
