Oh, and I wasn't alone at my explorations. My faithful - luggage case - did accompany on my wanderings through this peculiar and charming place.
 |
| Me and my luggage case starting our journey at the pier of Port Babbage. |
 |
| What a lovely sunny day! |
 |
| The Skyline of Port Babbage! |
Firstly I decided to stroll around in the back-streets. You often find interesting spots there which usually would get overlooked. In this case it was a cemetery though (and I always thought dead steampunks get recycled by mad scientists!).
 |
| Enjoying a bright sunny day in New Babbage... |
 |
| ...ooh! did the lid just open? Well, its obviously a Sunsonite case! |
 |
| Hmmm, "Boat and boiler repairs" I wonder if they refit my luggage case into a small steamboat... |
They didn't - what a pity! However just a few steps later I became the witness of the high degree of interactivity an ordinary Sunsonite-case is capable of:
 |
| Cute! It grabs freebies! |
 |
| "Weird Tales" - I think H. P. Lovecraft did publish there too. |
 |
| Thats what I love on this city. You just step out of a building or a narrow street and you get such lovely sights - just so :-) |

 |
| And so does that scene looks from the ground. |
An interesting looking structure at one of the piers did caught my attention.
 |
| Curious looking Drow with a curious looking case. This looks almost like... |
 |
| ...an elevator! |
 |
| It leads to the bottom of the sea. |
 |
| The glass tunnels lead to the underwater station in the Vernian Sea. |
 |
| W is for "Welcome"! |
 |
| I figured that this funny blinking machine is a teleporter device. Too bad that I was already where I wanted to be. So I didn't use it. |
Back on the surface I continued with exploring the shops. Unsurprisingly commerce takes a big part in the harbour district. Luckily the strict building conduct saves the city from eyesores - very nice!
 |
| A prefab store is selling this pub furnishing. It looks really fine - however sitting on it... |
 |
| ...showed some room for improvement! |
 |
| Another store had something I haven't seen in sl before: A Paternoster! |
 |
| Yes, most stores really look fine here. |
 |
| And have funny freebies! Souvenirs from Mars and cheese guns - true must-haves! |
 |
| This seems to be a kiosk for prospective citizens of New Babbage. Lots of information about the city there. |
Wandering along the quay wall turned out to be quite entertaining:
 |
| Want learn building? Get your ass up and take classes :p |
 |
| *gets suddenly some funny ideas about applications of wax* |
 |
| No comment ;-) |
 |
| One last look at Port Babbage - the next episode will feature its eastern neighbor Clockhaven! |
I can't say it often enough: New Babbage is really worth the journey. I guess the sheer amount of pictures I took betrays that ;-) Its obviously that a lot, lot energy and creativity was put in this city. Well done!
