I had a hamburger for breakfast and had it delivered to my room. I guess the others had luau ribs or something more exotic down at the food stall. Anyway, I decided that were were all going on a trip and booked us all, at ยง300/head to go parasailing. It was very uplifting, I must say. Also, I found yet another map, this time to some location. It seemed clearer than the other one. I could pick out where the hotel was on this map so I knew what way to go. The moment we got back to camp, I decided we were going to find this place. I'm sure it would be a mystical temple with loads of jewels for us to take.
This is Will here. Jolene has been directing us around for long enough. Her "mystical temple" turned out to be some hut or other. It looked somewhat spooky, though. I decided to have a look and see what there was. We all trooped up to the hut to find a gentleman in green robes and a facemask. I had a feeling he was some form of pseudo-shaman or witchdoctor and was busy trying to repair his dishwasher. Most odd.
Anyway, I chose to help the man with his repairs while the rest of the family seemed to help themselves to the contents of his fridge. "Hon, I'm starving after that parasailing" was Jolene's reply. So, I got to work. I ended up repairing his dishwasher, microwave oven, television and his bath.
After that, we sat down and had some dinner. It was then I noticed that the microwave still appeared to be out of order. Back to work I got and this time got a nasty electrical shock from an unearthed connection. I had a quick bath to clean myself up and relax to find that the spooky guy had returned and was pleased with what I had done. He thanked me for the work that I had done and he gave me a package. I took a sneak peek and it looked like a strange doll. For some weird reason, I had the feeling it had the name Mr.Mickles.
At about midnight, I decided it was time we were making tracks. Jolene was asleep on the guy's hammock. I told him to give her a kick when he was fed up of her. Anyway, she woke up abruptly and left with us, telling me to give HER the doll as she was the one who had found the map. I told her she could have it ... in her dreams. Tomorrow is our last day. I don't intend to waste it.
Game Notes
The travelling by foot is still as odd as travelling by car is, especially when dealing with close locations. Your sims can't simply cross the road. They always leave one way and come back another. In this shot here when they left the Boardwalk, their hotel is across the road. So near and yet so far. This criticism is minor. I am very much enjoying this expansion.
In the next part, we visit the Monkey Ruins, continue until the end of the Gresham's vacation, follow them home and find out whether they have enough money to afford a dogsitter.
