Raglan Shire, a ''tiny'' exploration

Raglan Shire, a ''tiny'' exploration

A kind friend offered me a TP to this world. A cluster of 8 ''tiny'' sims: Raglan Shire, Haven Shire, Galaxy, Raglan Commons, Morning Shire, Heron Shire, Athen Shire and Gullwing Coast.
The tier is general and my explored area's are family friendly.

Let's start with a free tiny avatar!

Free Tiny Avatars:

- The chubby penguin I used is available on marketplace:

The very recommendable San Jose shop has several avatars and clothing:

In the Raglan cluster itself:
- The Welcome Center at Raglan Central has two avatars:

- Willow Creek at Raglan Commons has an avatar and a clothing set:

A sidenote about the "JaJa" tag

Now that I am at SIM 9/10 and about to make a detour to favorite freebee item(s) I feel I should explain here my use of the "JaJa" tag.
In my first language JaJa means YesYes. On here it stands for my original struggle as noob account not a week old, but with intention to get to the core right away. No time for classes or groups or casual chats. Go right away where you came for, do not wait to become experienced in SL. I am coming out with a list of 10 SIMs for noobs as me to visit where you can autodidact your own way into SL without getting instant-infected by the complications many old accounts suffer from. For the list ofcourse just click my tag.

The JaJa tag in short means you DO NOT NEED:
   - SL age
   - SL Lindens
   - change standard avatar, viewer or settings
   - high performance PC
   - enter groups or interact with people beyond your personal choice

My route thru the Raglan Cluster:

I took the cross-sim Balloon from Raglan Shire hub for a first overall sight.
You might have to wait a bit, but then it comes, be awake and hop on a free toadstool seat.

Passing Galaxy Island.
Self proclaimed surfer´s heaven, but all surfers must be dead now, either by Tsunami or by shark attack... I did not gamble my life this time, I'll just dare others to add an action picture this time.

Next stop is Raglan Commons.
Despite it being tennants land, it is very welcoming to tourists. Do explore by bubble!

Passing Heron Shire.
Had to run for my life after accidently opening the bridge! I made a tour on a very cute duck to recover before I moved on.

And finally I found my Haven.

All the way north, looked like my favorite sim here.
Full of nice views, relaxing - not too claustrofobic. Good spending time as SL tourist.
But I found there's definitely something dark going on... will have to return for further investigation!
