Necker Island, Wednesday Morning

Another gorgeous sunrise means another beautiful day of vacation for the residents of Fandom, at least those who can get out of bed and make it outside.

Those who feasted on the seafood buffet last night might want to avoid the floating sushi today. There might just be too much of a good thing.

The Great House is the hub of all things Necker Island. Not only does it contain many gorgeous open bedrooms, outfitted with enormous terraces, but the house's perch on the island's highest points also grants it some incredibly scenic lounging possibilities. In fact, up on the roof, you'll find a jacuzzi big enough for four at a time.

Don't fight over it.

Every private room has a double or twin beds, depending on ~~what's suitable and/or funny~~ which one you're assigned. Every room comes with a private en-suite bathroom and a beautiful view of the beach on either side of the island.

[[ your room assignments are here! please move any threads that go above the PG-13 label to a private journal. ]]

The Great House has a spacious dining room, where you'll find an extensive tropical breakfast in the morning. There's seating area outside as well, and the woman behind the bar will make you any number of cocktails if you ask nicely.

The Great House comes with a wrap-around terrace that supports hammocks and cosy sofas. There are board games and even chess sets available - and a fully-stocked bar.

In the center of the Great House, you'll find the deck, which provides a stunning scenic view of the surrounding area, more seating, a pool table and a piano. Also, champagne. And a lot of it.

And if you take the stairs up, you'll find a four-person jacuzzi. Nice!

Just outside the house sits an enormous infinity pool. It's not quite as stunning a sight as some of the other pools on the island, but on the other hand-- it's an infinity pool, right by your house.

There are several other houses on the island, many of which offer different kinds of facilities for those looking for a thrill.

The Beach House is the second-biggest place on the island. It rests between the island's two tennis courts and provides lunch as well as a bar and game tables... and the most impressive pool of them all.

Like most places on Necker Island, the Beach House comes with an extensive seating area. There are sofas outside on the tennis- and swimming pool sides, but you can also opt to drop yourself on the large couches upstairs, which provide a more panoramic view - and game tables.

Technically, there are two tennis courts right outside the Beach House. Grab a racket, a ball and a friend, and play a game. If you dare do that in the glaring Caribbean sun, anyway.

Beach House supports what has to be the island's most impressive pool, a sprawling freeform infinity pool with a swim-up bar. Nearby is a nice thatched house with chairs to sit at, if that's more your jam.

Are you hungry? You don't even need to leave the pool! There's a special sushi kayak that takes off into the pool every now and again, providing a wide selection of sushi rolls both vegetarian and not.

And finally, Beach House supports a 30-seat jacuzzi right outside the pool, in case all the other luxury wasn't great enough.

Temple House is a large, round, Balinese-style house further along on the island. It's got a lounging area with an enormous library - and of course another infinity pool outside.

Sandy Turtle Beach sits right outside the Beach House, fringed by palm trees and offering hammocks to hang out in. There's a table set up for lunch dining if you're in the mood, an aqua-trampoline anchored in the bay and kayaks and-- oh, right, there's also the ocean.

Bored of lounging already? You can always take the zipline down from the Great House to the beach.

On the other side of the island is the Main Beach. It's just as sandy as Turtle Beach, but it's a bit busier, with stations for various water activities including kite surfing and tubing.

Being on Necker Island isn't exactly much of a chore, but it might get boring. Today, the group can take their first trip off the island, to nearby Virgin Gorda. Gorda is the third-largest island and offers shopping and strange geological sights

Want to buy stuff? Spanish Town is your destination! Spanish Town offers many touristy shops and a wide range of restaurants. Do make sure to check out Chez Bamboo, where you can enjoy fine tapas, Asian food and live music.

The Baths are a unique sight: a beach and pools hidden between huge granite boulders. Changing rooms, lockers and refreshments are available on the beach. A trail leads through the pools and caves of the boulder field to little Devil's Bay beach.

Up for something more sporty? Virgin Gorda is famous as a site for bouldering, a form of rock-climbing without a harness. Take a trip over the many rocks and boulders of southern Virgin Gorda with your guide, who knows the routes that don't end in broken bones.

This trip really makes me want a massage... on a beach...

Hyacinthe was climbing into the 30-seat jacuzzi today. He had ~~flirted shamelessles~~ convinced one of the staff to keep bringing drinks around so he wouldn't have to leave the jacuzzi for hours if he didn't want to.

Today you were learning to share, Emperor Llama.

"NOoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo," Kuzco cried, stomping his hoof. "This is my jacuzzi. MINE."

He was not taking sharing well.

Between the sand and the heat, Cara had (reluctantly) declared her leathers a lost cause and was wearing a loose shirt and shorts as she napped on the sofa on the room's balcony

This had seemed both dangerous and possibly useful to know, so Rufus had wound up here.

(Dark Nation had been left back at his room.)

It was a pity that taking pictures from some of the angles was going to be nigh impossible, however. He and Tseng were getting along more amicably but giving the Turk headaches was... something Rufus was probably never going to grow out of.
