Balloon Update: Week 32 Completed; Progress Stalled in Zindra

It is with great relief that I can say I've completed another full week of flying time.

The first three days of Week 32 had been spent finishing my exploration of the continent Gaeta I where I had visited the mobil home main store for JF Handcrafts in Kaolin, picked up a hitchhiker who parachuted from my balloon in Gilpatric, enjoyed viewing art at Lundy Art Gallery in Turpentine, and suffered property ejections in Ramanujan, Jaskowski,Wedge, and Untersberg before concluding my northern exploration on a tiny islet in far northeastern Fettle.

After clearing Gaeta I, I resumed my adventure by starting anew at the Safe Hub in Ungren, Zindra. The Safe Hub is in the western corner of the continent that looks like a notch, and I thought that I could use that location to begin a clockwise rotation around before returning back to it.

I spent my first full day at the Ungren Safe Hub watching residents as they came and went, mostly standing silently either alone or with a friend. The Hub was deathly silent outwardly, but I was certain there was a lot of internal communication going on for each person, whether it be to a person nearby or to someone more distantly through instant messaging.

The decor of the Hub itself was not unlike most Hubs nowadays: argely vast empty space with an impressive building, and less than five informational touch signs to gather information from.

My second day of flying took me only three business parcels east into Harrowblight where Big Bang Sex Park, a vacant urban town with a variety of run down brick buildings, cafe, and jail in Blighted Harrow, and a nearby Animal Sex Farm were open for visitors to explore.

I intended to stay only one night at the jail, but ended up spending over three calendar weeks there before I actually broke free with the help of a friend who came to light a fire under my lazy ass. After breaking free from the jail, we ran looking for a place to hide. After one was found, I overnighted there before taking to the skies the next morning.

Once back in the skies after my long break, I advanced another few sims until I reached The Hidden Retreat in Tyrell Edos, which is almost directly in the middle of the continent.

When Week 33 begins, I'll depart The Hidden Retreat by making a small counter clockwise circle in that immediate area, then flying south and eventually southeastward until I make my way to the southeastern most aspect of the continent, after which I will turn to make my way westward.

So, as far as Week 32 Zindra highlights go, here's what I discovered!:

Safe Hub, Ungren:

The central western landing point for many residents coming into Zindra. Typical of most Info Hubs, this hub is also marked by an impressive building that has little useful content offered in it. Residents come to largely stand around and barely interact with each other...at least from what can be seen outwardly.

Big Bang Sex Park, Harrowblight:

This property is right next door to the SafeHub and is a large, multilevel building chock-full of sex related furniture, activity options, and shopping.

Vacant urban area, Blighted Harrow:

A place to explore with a few places for enteracting with others, if only they would come! Has a fun boxing ring that provides boxing gloves for free, and for those who might break the law, a jail with two jail cells, as well as other amenities no property in Zindra should be without.

Animal Sex Farm, Harrowblight:

If you love animals (and I do mean LOVE them), this is the place for you. You'll find all kinds of mammals to get better acquainted with here! There is even a sexy resident woman who stays there almost 24 hours a day if you're alone and in desperate need of a quickie. Consider to throw even just a Linden or two her way for being so available to any who want to know her better.

Relo Public Sandbox, Tariah:

A very convenient public sandbox area for unpacking, within a short walk from the SafeHub in Ungren. It also offers skybox rental units for very reasonable rates.

Sex Sandbox, Brownkin:

Only a few parcels to the west of Relo Public Sandbox, this Sex Sandbox is contained in a high walled enclosure, and encludes both shopping, dancing, and a free multi-floored hotel with free beds in each room.

Hard Alley, Aulen:

At ground level, I noticed a sign for the well known Hard Alley adult urban social club. I realized from that, the club was somewhere high above in the sky, but didn't try to see where.

Amanda's Spanking Palace, Tyrell Edos:

If you've been bad and need a little discipline, it appears that Amanda's Spanking Palace is the place to go to spank, be spanked, or watch spanking...no ifs, ands, or "butts" about it!

The Hidden Retreat, Tyrell Mono:

A multi-story building with a quaint courtyard garden area, the Retreat is open to the public and allows visitors to rez on site. It is an adult RLV game/sex area that includes BDSM. What caught my eye was two residents fencing as I landed. En guarde! Unfortunately, I was too slow with my camera to catch them in action. You can also play Greedy, Bondzee, and Poker. Fencing in Zindra...who would have imagined?
