Exploring the new area of Wish Isle

It can never be said that there's nothing to do in SL. Even when I'm bored (which happens at often and odd times when the ADHD butterfly rears its head), it doesn't take long to figure out somewhere to explore.

Early in the week, I went through one of my "boredom spells" and decided to peruse through a stack of old LMs that I've been keeping "just in case." Near the top of the folder was one for Wish Isle.

Anyone who knows me knows that I'm a pushover for the Egyptian theme, especially if Basts and Sekhmets are concerned (it's a catgirl thing). I'd been to Wish Isle on occasion, had quite a bit of fun on their train (a must-ride if you haven't already experienced it) and "shopped 'til I dropped" at the merchants.

I went back, though, curious to see about the new rentals at the top of the main Wish Isle pyramid. What I didn't expect was to find a whole new section, loosely based on the Egyptian afterlife.

While some of the builds were a bit confusing (like what's the purpose of a pyramid building that, well, isn't really a building?), I bounced around rather giddily amongst the structures. As it's new, most seem to be still available as rentals. There's another shop at the rear of the complex with a gorgeous Bast in the center of the room. If you're into Egyptian decor/mythology at all, it's definitely worth a look-see.
