Vive La France I

Champs Les Sims, France

Day One

Ah, France, Champs Les Sims...the country that inspires l'amour. And it was the perfect place for a honeymoon for two lovers who had just recently gotten married, wanting a romantic getaway. The water glittered in the canals as the sun peeked out from behind the clouds. And Champs Les Sims had that old Norman architecture feel to it - plainly put, it felt like France.

Their first stop upon arriving at the "base camp" - or hostel was to head for the general store where they stocked up on camping equipment such as a nice tent and dried food so that they wouldn't starve if they weren't within easy reach of town. Some of the places in Champs Les Sims were remote and with not very easy access to a road. The majority of the items that they had purchased in France were easy to port and but the chest that was bought at the general store was shipped home.

Intriguingly, their first stop of interest in Champs Les Sims was the graveyard, which was fascinating to Haruo. And they chose to explore the catacombs. What better way to cement one's marital relationship than to scare the pee out of each other by exploring the final resting place of French sims. The Creator doesn't think that would go over very well in real life - not one bit.

Since both of them went in to get their wits scared out of them, the Creator had nothing better to do than watch the front entrance of the mausoleum; yay, just what the Creator wanted to do on a Saturday morning for the equivalent of five Sim-hours (at 0.43 speed - trust me, it's a LOOOOOOONG time).

...and then spin around in circles...

Yes, you could technically put these pics into a circular panorama, but let's just say that the vista was amazing, whereever the Creator turned. (he was bored).

Evidently they had a run-in- with Zombie Bears, because they came out singed.

But all was not lost as it provided a great little reason to WOOHOO...in the shower.

They ended off their first day in Champs Les Sims in great fashion by spending it fishing, having a pillow-fight and really... (I mean REALLY) enjoying each other's company...

It was very lucky that the chateau that was across the lake (they teleported onto the island in the middle of the lake) was unoccupied or they would have gotten the view and shock of their lives.
