I haven’t been to the SS Galaxy for a while, so whilst I was on the scrounge for a photo shoot I headed back for a nosey. They have some lovely shops there and the ship is amazing, although a lot has changed since my last visit. (I had a cabin there for a short while, it was great fun) After my spree was finished (and I had aquired a rather nice FREE Blaze gown) I went outside to wait for the ferry to Sagittaria. This is something I’ve meant to do for a while. Every ten minutes you can catch the ferry and it takes you to the nearby port for fun and frolics. I was a tad sceptical as I’ve been in SL boats before and not ‘moved’ with them, or been left stranded in the middle of the ocean..BUT this one actually works and it’s oodles of fun! Get on the boat and you’ll cruise alongside the liner, turn and then head for the port. It really isn’t that jerky, and even warns you when a sim crossing is about to take place. (The Galaxy crosses 3 sims!) When you finally arrive and disembark you’ll found yourself in a lovely welcome area which leads you out into Sagittaria itself. It’s an exceptionally pretty build (What do you expect from Bill Stirling?) and you can hire one of those dinky ‘Bispa’ scooters to zoom around on, or explore using the mono-rail. Go and have a look, it’s rather grand…some of the houses are seriously droolworthy! Oopsy, forgot to mention, the Captain of the ferry is a penguin. ‘Nuff said.
