Within Secondlife there are a myriad of places you
can have a picnic and the one that I showcase for you today is at the gorgeous new picnic destination of Neva River Village.
I have found though the top 5 picnic spots listed
on National Geographic around the world and the foods available to eat there, in which I share these with you. Not in
any particular order, here are the top 5 listed by National Geographic as the must places to visit for a picnic. I note though that Australia isn't there.. need to have a word with National Geographic :D.
1) Huayna
Picchu, Peru
At an
elevation of nearly 9,000 feet, the view from atop this peak, which towers over
the 15th-century ruins of Machu Picchu, is breathtaking in a number of ways. A
steep, slippery climb to this rocky summit is a nerve-racking effort—one
instantly rewarded with a panoramic perspective of the Urubamba River Valley
and the famed city of the Inca. So what to eat? Instead, a celebratory Inca
Kola and a pleasantly portable butifarras—a sandwich of Peruvian ham, onions, and
chili peppers, and lime.
2) Milford
Sound, South Island, New Zealand
Rain
forests hug dramatic cliffs, waterfalls cascade into rivers, and 4,000-foot
rocky peaks tower over a deep fjord that has become New Zealand's most famous
destination. Yes, it's on the tourist trail, but remote Milford Sound—within
the Te Wahipounamu World Heritage site—retains a grandeur that visitors and
rain (182 days of it each year) Pack a picnic and hop aboard a two-hour boat
tour of the awe-inspiring sound or kayak around the coastline for a floating
lunch party. What to pack? How about traditional Kiwi eats such as Anzac
biscuits, colonial goose (roast leg of lamb), and a bottle of Marlborough
sauvignon blanc.
3) Villa
Borghese Gardens, Rome, Italy
Olives,
pizza bianca, marinated artichokes, salami, and—of course—a bottle of wine are
all it takes to make a picnic break from the ancient ruins and Renaissance
highlights of Rome.. The Villa Borghese gardens near the Piazza del Popolo, is
a picnic-perfect landscape for escape. The Spanish Steps lead up to this
English-style garden, but the romantic feel of the urban park is all-Italian.
4) Point
Reyes National Seashore, Point Reyes Station, California
Now where do you go for a simple
outdoor meal in the States? This spectacular nature preserve located on a 70,000-acre
peninsula north of San Francisco is rich in wildlife, from raptors to elk, and
bordered by a coastline favored by elephant seals.
5) Jardin
des Tuileries, Paris, France
Fountains,
sculptures, two museums and countless comfortable chairs make this garden on
the perimeter of the Musée du Louvre a surprisingly tranquil space for staging
your own déjeuner du l'herbe. With the Seine on one side and Rue de Rivoli on
the other, the park is a well-placed rest stop. Stop by patisserie Angelina to
pick up a Mont Blanc cake (cream, meringue, and chestnut paste), then relax
under a tree for a few blissful minutes or hours. What better place to be that
in France.
So have you been to any of these destinations as
yet? I think if I had a picnic in Rome or Paris, I wouldn't leave!!
