Bake Off: A Harringrove Sim Story
Chapter 2
Tumblr media
The small coastal town of Copperdale. Early Morning.
Morning News Anchor Nancy Wheeler stands outside the Harringrove Cafe - located in the old refurbished bed & breakfast on Shrike Hill.
Assistant: We're rolling!
Nancy: Hello, I'm Nancy Wheeler and this is 'Good Morning with Nancy'. We've got all of your local news, current events, and hot topics!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Nancy: Today's special topic is near and dear to my heart. Copperdale is known for its scenic beach, quaint railroad town, and most recently for the tragic accident at the local library involving a sink hole...
Tumblr media
Nancy: But, it also the home of the Harringrove Cafe: which has boomed since its initial launch and brought many tourists to our shores, eager to try their delicious treats. Today, we'll be meeting the owners and getting a rare peek inside the operations at the cafe - along with some exciting news! In fact, here comes one of them now.
Steve joins Nancy at the door, in swim trunks and nothing else.
Nancy: Cut!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Steve: Hi Nancy. Thanks for coming! Are we -
Nancy: Steve! Did you forget the interview was today?
Steve: What? Of course not. Let's do this! I've been looking forward to it all week. Billy too.
Nancy: Steve, we can't do the interview! You're half naked.
Steve: Oh yeah, I woke up late and had to squeeze in my laps this morning. Didn't have time to change. Billy said it would be fine. Add a little sex appeal.
The door opens behind them.
Nancy: *groaning* This is a morning show Steve, a family friendly hour. We don't need sex appeal.
Billy leans in the door.
Billy: Speak for yourself Wheeler. All those grandmas who watch your show need something to wake them up.
Nancy: *sarcastic* Ha ha! You're not funny Billy.
Billy: You're right. I'm hilarious.
Jonathan: ... So are we shooting today or not?
Steve: Definitely shooting! Just give me a chance to go change.
Steve runs inside to get dressed and Nancy sighs.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Nancy: I should have known something like this would happen. He's always in that silly pool. Why does a bakery need a pool anyway?
Billy: I'd explain fun to you Wheeler, but I'm too busy running a business.
Nancy: This isn't a laughing matter Billy! This event is really important to Steve, but more importantly the town. The library helped so many people and bringing it back will do a lot of good. Don't you care what happens to this town?
Billy glowers. He doesn't appreciate being told off. But thankfully, before he can answer Steve's voice interrupts from inside as he rushes back.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Steve: I'm here! I'm ready! It's okay now.
Billy: Is that my shirt!
It most definitely is Billy's shirt. Nancy peers inside the door to see that Steve has grabbed Billy's old lifeguard top, from when he worked at the community pool. She sighs.
Nancy: Come on Jonathan. Let's get some more shots with me while these two figure themselves out.
Jonathan: Yeah let's get some B-roll. I can piece it together with Steve & Billy later.
The Segment:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Harringrove Cafe. This thriving business sits on a picturesque hill overlooking the beach. Once an abandoned Bed & Breakfast, co-owners Steve Harrington and partner Billy Hargrove have turned this local eyesore into a meca for the taste buds.
There's no end to the creativity of their rotating menu, which offers handcrafted treats and a personal delivery service to local residents along with cheerful hospitality!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
But this summer, Billy and Steve are leaving the kitchen to undertake their biggest risk yet: A local backing competition! If you've been up on the hill lately you've probably seen the construction of the big tent.
This summer, Harringrove Cafe invites YOU and the whole family to join them in 'The Harringrove Bakeoff' where three teams will go head to head, in the battle of the baked goods! Proceeds from the ticket sales will go toward the Copperdale Library restoration project.
Tumblr media
This competition is a big undertaking for the cafe, but it's certainly not the first of its kind. Billy & Steve are known for their creative collaborations with friends, and local artists in the community - many whose artworks can be found on sale in the cafe shop.
Tumblr media
I'm Nancy Wheeler, and this has been Good Morning with Nancy. Join us next time: In the coming weeks I'll be revealing more about the competition, the competitors, and how you can help pick Copperdale's very first Best Amateur Baker!
This broadcast is in thanks to and collaboration with @harringrove-cafe
Community members and visitors may visit the cafe, or reach out to Steve & Billy directly with questions about the competition and upcoming menu changes. They ask that you please hold all questions regarding the strange noises heard coming from the cafe last night for their next Ask Harringrove session.

Ill-fitted (The Bad Batch)
Tumblr media
Crosshair prepares for his first mission after the fall of Kamino, but something feels wrong with his armor. ~1000 words, set during the beginning of The Solitary Clone. A study of angst, guilt, and denial (AKA the Crosshair special).
---
The new armor is identical to his last set, down to every detail; the slight asymmetry in an inner seam, the pleasing snap of the cuisses joining the knee plates, the hue of the green transparisteel of the visor.  Crosshair straps his armor over his blacks, piece by piece.  Vambraces, pauldrons, cuirass, greaves.  He is methodical and careful in this, as he is everything, and slowly, finally, he begins to feel a soldier again.  
Except… the armor rubs across the shoulders, a centimeter loose.
He frowns, ducking his head, rolling his shoulders.  He shrugs experimentally, but the armor still sits wrong.  
It is a small thing.  Nearly imperceptible.  Wrecker would have never noticed the difference.  Echo would have gone back to the armor’s specs.  Tech would likely have found a clever way to alter it on the fly.  Hunter would have --
His nostrils flare, lips narrowing.  Crosshair shakes his head, face twisting into a grimace.
He must have put it on slightly crooked.  The armor is exactly the same make and design as before.  There is no reason it would have changed.  He stands up straighter, jutting his chin out, tugging at the plate around his neck.
Still loose.
Perhaps it’s not the armor.  Perhaps it’s him.
The hunger gnaws at him, a raw pithing agony --
He tries pacing the platform to distract himself, but it’s getting harder and harder.  He’s so tired now, and the platform pitches and bucks around him, spinning dizzily in the Kaminoan downpour --
He holds out a weak hand to the ship in the distance, and through his haze he can see every tendon mapped, the sharp jutting of the knuckles, the sickly translucence of the skin --
Crosshair swallows.  Medical cleared me.  He’s fine.  They told him he was fine.
He decides to ignore the loose fit across the shoulders.  He will take it to the armory after this mission; he’s due to meet his new commander soon, and there is no time for something so trivial.  Rampart’s dig about his unreadiness to command again flickers in the back of his mind, but he ignores that, too.  If this is what they ask of him, he is ready to comply.
He reaches for his helmet, places it squarely on his head.  His vision swims green.  The visor, perfectly narrow and rectangular, shifts his sight and trains his focus.  
But there is still no extra cutout for his right eye.  Before Kamino he had submitted four requisitions asking for an alteration to the helmet, and all had been denied.  He stifles his disappointment.  They have their reasons, he is certain.
Though Crosshair still remembers working with the Kaminoans and his squad, pooling ideas and designs for customized armor and weaponry that would make their enhancements shine.  They’d been feverish with excitement: Wrecker crowing about materials with increased durability and explosive resistance, Hunter sketching out endless designs for the knife in his gauntlet, Tech waxing rhapsodic about the helmet and goggle system he’d been dreaming of for two years.  Crosshair remembers his own requests, his voice steady and sure, filled with the proud certainty that he knew his own abilities and exactly how to boost them.  
They’d had their requests granted, every one.  When the new armor arrived they’d stayed up half the night in their barracks, gleefully trying out every modification until the regs shouted at them to keep it down.  
He reaches up and touches his left pauldron.  His gloved fingers brush over its smooth edges, perfectly alike to the right.
They have their reasons….
He picks up his rifle.  A replacement 773 Firepuncher, its balance inspired, its weight and heft as familiar as his own arm.  He should feel whole, holding it.  Restored.  Ready to be of service again at last. Yet its weight in his hand does not steady him the way he had expected.
He pushes past the feeling.  No matter; the mission calls.  Desix and his new commander await, and with them an opportunity to serve the Empire.  He opens the door to his room, ready to take it.
The hallway outside his quarters flows with regs in white and black.  They march lockstep down the corridor, their boots a steady rhythm like a heartbeat.  It irritates him, the sound unpleasant in his ears.  He follows at his own pace behind a squad of ten, keeping his gaze down on the floor, and his ill-fitting armor rubs against his neck.
The First Battle Memorial towers above him.  He spares it barely a glance, its sea of names having little to do with him, and situates himself near one end to await the meeting with his new commander.  He slips off his helmet and stands stock still, tucking the helmet beneath one arm as he rests the butt of his rifle against the floor.  
More regs hurry past him, ready to go where they’re needed.  They have their orders.  He has his --
Good soldiers follow orders.
Good soldiers follow orders.
A pressure building in his head, a voice he doesn’t recognize but knows within his bones, the order -- he was meant for this -- they all were -- why don’t they see it?  An ache, confusion, anger rising in his chest, a ringing in his head, what’s happening to him -- 
All he ever wanted was to be a good soldier --
His shoulders slump slightly.  He’d done what needed doing.  He would have done it without the chip, if they’d have asked.  He’ll prove it.  What’s loyalty, after all, without action?
You weren’t loyal to me.  
But they hadn’t seen it that way --
His chest aches, heavy beneath his ribs, and it has nothing to do with the fit of his armor.
Crosshair stands silently beneath the great memorial, the golden light softening everything in view.  The regs march on past, side by side, footsteps echoing in the vast hall.  He shifts his weight and draws himself up to his full height.
He stands alone.  The shadows pool around him, and he waits to go and keep the peace.

Inside Josh Widdicombe’s home with butcher shop tiles and a £6,000 bath (The Sunday Times, 10.11.24)
Tumblr media
The comedian’s interior designer wife, Rose Hanson, has restored an 1860s house with copper pipes, vintage finds and lots of books.
[NON-PAYWALL / ORIGINAL]
The comedian Josh Widdicombe and Rose Hanson, his interior designer wife, have restored a 19th-century former artist’s house in the village of Mullion, on the Lizard. The star of Channel 4’s The Last Leg is in the process of writing gags for his 2025 stand-up tour. Called Not My Cup of Tea, because he gave up alcohol last year and now drinks eight cups of “builder’s tea” a day, the show will be a catalogue of gentle gripes on topics from motorway services to children’s party bags. He says inspiration strikes during the eight-hour drive from where they live in Hackney, east London, to their Cornish home, when he has the captive audience of Hanson and their kids, Pearl, seven, and Cassius, three. Traffic jams on the A303 are evidently fertile ground for middle-aged grumbles.
Tumblr media
We are speaking during half-term, and the final stage of the renovation — the landscaping of their three-quarter-acre plot — is in ear-splitting full swing. A sauna has already been installed and by the time the diggers depart there will be a fireplace and outdoor kitchen on the patio, and a natural swimming pool in the garden. To a backing track of excavations, the couple, both 41, explain that they picked this glorious spot because Josh grew up in Haytor Vale, near Torquay, and his parents still live nearby in Devon, while Hanson (whose mother, incidentally, helped to create Zippy, the puppet from the 1980s kids’ show Rainbow) remembers Cornwall fondly from childhood holidays. “It felt like a natural place for us to look,” she says.
The 1860s house, called Moorlands, previously belonged to a local abstract artist, Barrie Cook, whose works are in the Tate and the Government Art Collection. “He’s got Wikipedia. So he’s legit,” Widdicombe says. “I don’t know much about art but if someone’s got a Wikipedia page, that’s quite a big deal.” Along with the rambling building, they took on the expectations of Cook’s family. “We had quite a strange day of meeting the whole extended family after we’d bought the house,” Widdicombe says. “They just wanted to know that this place was going into the hands of people that would care about it and treat it well.” The couple have done the Cooks proud, with a sympathetic top-to-toe restoration and a reconfiguration of the layout to meet the demands of modern family life.
Tumblr media
They bought Moorlands in October 2022 for under £850,000 and are likely to spend the same again on renovations. Work started in January 2023, knocking through walls upstairs and between the sitting room and dining room on the ground floor. Six months later, the old extension was demolished and by November every single window in the house had been replaced. “They’re basically identical to the windows that were here, but they’re not falling apart,” Hanson says. They took the property from five bedrooms and two bathrooms to six bedrooms and seven bathrooms, overhauled the electrics, got rid of the oil tank and replumbed with help from a local company called The Braze. “It’s like an incredible work of art with all of these amazing copper pipes,” she says.
Tumblr media
By March this year the lights and heating were on. Hanson sourced the oak flooring from Dartmoor firm Coppice and Crown. The most striking change was the replacement of the old sunroom on the first floor. “The upstairs conservatory was quite amazing. But it was just completely impractical because it was absolutely boiling, and there was quite bad damp in the room below. So we got an architect involved and designed two double bedrooms with en suites, and a beautiful formal dining room underneath.” Hanson repositioned the kitchen at the front of the house, where the family would benefit from the glorious garden view. By April 24, every room in the house was finished, and they had their first guests to stay.
Now they intend to spend six weeks of the year enjoying their seaside getaway, and let it out in between family visits. So how do they live when in Cornwall? Hanson lifts weights in her home gym and plans to learn to surf at the nearby Dan Joel Surf School. “I hate stuff like that,” says Widdicombe, who can’t swim. “I like a walk. I like running on the treadmill, but I don’t like anything that takes me outside of my comfort zone, ideally. The reason to be on holiday is to relax, not to do anything that makes me stressed.”
Tumblr media
He doesn’t mean to party, either. It’s a part of the world notorious for celeb spotting, with notable locals including fellow comics David Baddiel and Morwenna Banks, but the couple plan to lead a quiet life. “We don’t really have parties because we’ve got young children,” Hanson says. “And the people who come and stay have young children too. I mean, we’re lucky if we all get downstairs again after the kids’ bedtime at nine o’clock.” The wildest evening at Moorlands so far was, Widdicombe says, “The first week we stayed, we had four couples and eight children in the house, and we managed to get six kids in the bath at once.”
Tumblr media
The tub in question, in the family bathroom, is a £6,000 Rockwell, from Water Monopoly, which Hanson describes as “an extravagant purchase”. A magpie who is constantly acquiring vintage treasures, she added inexpensive second-hand touches to complete the decor. “We found this amazing little yellow bathroom cabinet that just kind of makes the whole room pop. I’m a real hoarder of second-hand fabrics from eBay and I’d got this vintage Pierre Frey fabric patterned with tassels and gems, which we made into a blind.”
Asked how much of the design is her husband’s idea, Hanson is quite clear. “He doesn’t have any say. I don’t even run anything past him, except budget. There are times where there are things that he would really like. When we moved into our first house, Josh really wanted a bread bin that said ‘Bread’ on it. So I made that happen. Then there was [a request for] a hot water tap. So fine. Yeah, you can have your hot water tap.”
Tumblr media
Widdicombe has no complaints. “I’d rather someone else who knows what they’re doing takes the lead,” he says. “I know what I’m good at and I don’t think Rose is ever going to give me notes on my stand-up. And in the same way, I’m not going to give her notes on this.” Hanson responds: “You’re basically the dream client.”
Before they moved in together, the comedian’s taste was based around displaying his music collection. “I lived in a rental property in Turnpike Lane [north London] when I was in my twenties and I didn’t have much money. I had a wall of about 600 CDs.” Now his focus has switched to books as decor. “I buy a lot of books and I’m a keeper of books. I hate it when someone says to me, ‘Can I borrow that after you’ve finished reading it?’ Because I think, ‘No, I want to put it on my wall.’ It’s like you’ve killed a deer or whatever, isn’t it, and you want to display it? If someone says that, I’ll buy them a copy of that book rather than give them my book.” So, excluding the library in his study, and keeping her hands off the hot tap and bread bin, Hanson had carte blanche to decorate the house to her taste.
She brought in her friend Charlotte Tilbury, a designer who had worked on their London home in Victoria Park, Hackney, and moved to Devon during Covid. Halfway through the works, the two women decided to start a business together and make Moorlands their first joint project: Penrose Tilbury was founded. “It’s not like work,” Hanson says. “It’s like going and hanging out with your mate and drinking rosé.” It wasn’t all wine and design chat, she corrects herself. “The hardest things to find were bathroom tiles. We did a collaboration with Original Style who made a bespoke pencil-black tile for us that we just couldn’t really find anywhere. Then the Daily Mail did a story — they must have got some pictures from our Instagram — and somebody said in the comments that our bathrooms look like a butcher’s shop. I was quite pleased with that. That was sort of the look I was going for.”
The next visit will be for New Year’s Eve, when the couple will be inviting friends for an ultra-low-key gathering. Hanson says: “We might have a glass of wine after we finish bedtime at nine o’clock.” And there will be plenty of PG Tips.

Hence, Bila Bila Festival (Butterfly Festival), is a celebration of butterflies and its conservation as well as the thriving butterfly farming in Marinduque.
WHEN IS BILA BILA FESTIVAL CELEBRATED?
Bila Bila Festival was originally celebrated during the feast of the Immaculate Concepcion – every 8th of December. But because the festival sometimes gets cancelled due to the rainy season, it was eventually moved to the summer month of May during the Flores de Mayo, a special Marian devotion.
HISTORY OF BILA BILA FESTIVAL IN MARINDUQUE
A butterfly event was believed to be first conceptualized by a barangay official who was very passionate about butterflies. The event became a hit and was replicated by other towns.
Eventually in 2002, a municipal ordinance entitled “Tree Farming and Butterfly Propagation Ordinance of 2002” was founded and declared Boac as a sanctuary for all butterfly species and ordered the preservation of the environment to protect them. This ordinance also started Bila Bila Festival. As one of its section states, “Whenever appropriate, the release of the butterflies will eventually become a regular feature of social gatherings, such as weddings, birthdays, baptisms, anniversary celebrations, and will become a regular feature of the traditional “putong” (crown) and welcoming of dignitaries, visitors, and guests

The remains of 328 likely graves have been found from "relocated" Black cemeteries in Florida.
The graves were meant to be moved in the 1950s but were instead simply paved over.
The city of Clearwater is reckoning with its history of racism, CBS News reported.
The remains of 328 likely graves have been found paved over after bodies in supposedly "relocated" Black cemeteries in Florida were never actually moved, prompting the city of Clearwater to reckon with its history of racism and segregation.
Graves from two cemeteries were meant to be relocated in the 1950s to make way for the construction of a swimming pool and department store but were paved over instead, CBS reported. Ultimately, a school and office building were built atop some of the graves.
It wasn't until the 1980s that the cover-up began to be revealed. In 1984, O'Neal Larkin, now 82, watched as a construction crew dug through one of the "relocated" Black cemeteries — though any exhumation of the graves would not occur for nearly 40 more years.
"I remember the parking lot where the engineers — traffic engineer was cutting the lines through," O'Neal Larkin told 60 Minutes correspondent Scott Pelley, "and they cut through two coffins. That was my first knowledge of seeing it because I walked out there, and I seen it myself."
In 2019, reporting by the Tampa Bay Times about the history of paving over Black graveyards resulted in the city of Clearwater exhuming the two desecrated sites in town.
With help from an engineering services company called Cardno, CBS reported, the North Greenwood Cemetery and St Matthews Cemetery were identified using ground penetrating radar and mapped, and some of the graves were exhumed. Of the 550 graves listed in the cemetery records, 328 likely graves — many under the parking lot of an office building — were identified. Additional remains are likely underneath the office itself and beneath a school building where human remains were found.
"All of the information and the data that we collected does indicate that there are additional burials likely below the footprint of that school building," Erin McKendry, an archaeologist for Cardno, told 60 Minutes.
Representatives for the City of Clearwater and Cardno did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment about the project.
Though forgotten grave sites such as those in Clearwater are found across racial and socio-economic divides, experts have identified that cemetery desecration appears to occur more frequently and systematically in the sacred resting places of minority residents. Other such graves have been found of indigenous students who died at government-run boarding schools in the US and Canada.
"There are abandoned cemeteries across the board," anthropologist Antoinette Jackson, who leads the African American Burial Ground Project at the University of South Florida, told CBS. "There are cemeteries that are not only African American cemeteries or Black cemeteries that have been in some way desecrated, but the issue is more acute with Black cemeteries because of issues like slavery, segregation in which this particular community were legally and intentionally considered lesser than or marginalized by law."
The City of Clearwater remains undecided in how to navigate the exhumation of the bodies beneath the office, parking lot, and school building, though several residents have told CBS and the Tampa Bay Times they prefer to see the cemetery restored and memorialized.
"It is still a cemetery — period," Barbara Sorey-Love, a Clearwater resident who has no family buried in the desecrated graves but has friends who do, told the Tampa Bay Times. "That road should be closed. All the cemetery land should be treated like a memorial site."

Travel in Style: The Ultimate Guide to Exclusive International Destinations
Tumblr media
In the realm of luxury travel, style isn’t just about what you wear or how you get there—it’s about experiencing the world in a way that’s tailored, extraordinary, and truly unforgettable. Whether you’re seeking private island retreats, cultural excursions with a personal touch, or five-star indulgence in hidden corners of the globe, exclusive international destinations are the ultimate way to travel in style.
This guide will introduce you to some of the most sought-after and exclusive luxury destinations across the world, and show you how to experience them with unparalleled elegance and sophistication.
1. The Maldives: Your Private Island Paradise
Known for its crystalline waters, white-sand beaches, and over-water villas, the Maldives is the epitome of luxury island living. But for those who want to take their escape to the next level, a stay on a private island is the ultimate way to experience this tropical paradise.
Luxury resorts like Soneva Jani and Cheval Blanc Randheli offer exclusive access to entire islands, where privacy is paramount, and every experience is tailored to your desires. Imagine having a private butler, your own spa, and a personal chef to prepare meals according to your preferences—all while surrounded by the stunning natural beauty of the Indian Ocean.
Top Experience: Indulge in a sunset dinner on your own sandbank, where you’ll be serenaded by the sound of the waves and the glow of candlelight. The Maldives is also renowned for its world-class diving, allowing you to explore vibrant coral reefs and swim alongside manta rays and whale sharks.
2. Tuscany, Italy: A Journey Through History and Indulgence
Tuscany is a region that’s synonymous with art, culture, and culinary excellence. But beyond its charming hilltop towns and iconic cities like Florence and Siena, lies a wealth of exclusive experiences for the discerning traveler.
Stay at a restored 16th-century villa nestled among vineyards and olive groves, or opt for a private estate that once belonged to Italian nobility. Here, you can immerse yourself in Italy’s rich history while enjoying luxurious amenities like infinity pools, private vineyards, and personal chefs. Many estates also offer private cooking classes, wine tastings, and truffle hunting excursions.
Top Experience: Spend a day touring the Chianti wine region in a vintage car, stopping at family-owned wineries for private tastings. End the day with a sunset dinner overlooking the rolling hills, prepared by a Michelin-starred chef.
3. Kyoto, Japan: The Essence of Elegance and Tradition
Japan’s ancient capital, Kyoto, is a place where tradition and luxury meet in perfect harmony. Renowned for its temples, tea houses, and Zen gardens, Kyoto offers an immersive cultural experience that’s unlike any other. But beyond the well-trodden paths, there are exclusive experiences that offer a deeper connection to Japanese heritage.
Stay at a traditional ryokan (inn), where you’ll enjoy impeccable service, multi-course kaiseki dinners, and the tranquility of private onsens (hot springs). For the ultimate luxury, book a stay at the exclusive Suiran or Aman Kyoto, which offer secluded accommodations and personalized experiences that honor the art of Japanese hospitality.
Top Experience: Participate in a private tea ceremony hosted by a tea master in a hidden teahouse, followed by an after-hours tour of the stunning Kinkaku-ji (Golden Pavilion) or Fushimi Inari Shrine, avoiding the crowds and gaining exclusive insight into the history of these sacred sites.
4. Santorini, Greece: An Iconic Escape with a Private Twist
Santorini’s whitewashed buildings, sapphire waters, and breathtaking sunsets make it one of the most photographed destinations in the world. But to experience this iconic Greek island in true style, you’ll want to explore it beyond the Instagrammable spots.
Private villas perched on the edge of the Caldera offer panoramic views of the Aegean Sea, while luxury yachts can take you on exclusive sailing trips to hidden coves and uninhabited islands nearby. For those who enjoy fine dining, the island’s luxury resorts provide personalized culinary experiences featuring local ingredients and wines produced in the island’s volcanic soil.
Top Experience: Take a private helicopter tour of the Cyclades islands, or enjoy a sunset cruise aboard a luxury yacht, where you’ll sip champagne as you watch the sky change colors over Santorini’s famous volcano.
5. Kenya: The Ultimate Safari Experience
For travelers seeking a more adventurous yet luxurious getaway, a safari in Kenya offers an unparalleled blend of excitement and exclusivity. Stay in lavish tented camps or private lodges where you’ll have front-row access to one of the world’s most impressive wildlife displays: the Great Migration.
Luxury lodges like Angama Mara and Mahali Mzuri provide private game drives, gourmet meals, and even hot air balloon safaris that offer a bird’s-eye view of the savanna. Your guide will take you off the beaten path, ensuring you have a personalized and intimate wildlife experience far from the crowds.
Top Experience: Enjoy a sunrise balloon safari over the Maasai Mara, followed by a champagne breakfast in the bush. In the evening, unwind with sundowners as you watch elephants and giraffes stroll across the plains.
6. Iceland: The Land of Fire and Ice
If you’re looking for a destination that combines rugged natural beauty with luxury accommodations, Iceland is the place to go. The country’s dramatic landscapes—complete with volcanoes, glaciers, and geysers—offer countless opportunities for adventure, while its exclusive lodges provide unmatched comfort and relaxation.
Stay at Deplar Farm, a remote luxury lodge that offers heli-skiing, private glacier tours, and geothermal spa experiences, all while surrounded by stunning vistas. Iceland is also known for its unique culinary scene, with many top chefs crafting dishes using local, foraged ingredients.
Top Experience: Take a private glacier hike, then unwind in the natural hot springs of the Blue Lagoon or enjoy a personalized tour of the Golden Circle without the crowds. If you’re lucky, you may even catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights from your private villa.
7. Bora Bora, French Polynesia: Ultimate Seclusion in Paradise
For those in search of true tropical seclusion, Bora Bora in French Polynesia offers luxurious overwater bungalows that seem to float on turquoise lagoons. Resorts like the Four Seasons Bora Bora and St. Regis Bora Bora cater to those seeking privacy, with private decks, infinity pools, and direct access to the ocean.
Bora Bora is also home to some of the best snorkeling and diving in the world, with vibrant coral reefs teeming with marine life. For those who prefer to stay on land, private dining on the beach and spa treatments in open-air bungalows provide the perfect way to relax.

Unused Subclasses: Druid: Circle of the Tides
Few natural forces exert as much influence over people as the ocean. Those that live on its shores understand both the raw crushing power of tidal waves, and the bountiful harvest that can be found beneath the surface. Druids that belong to the Circle of the Tides monitor the balance between civilization and the seas. They protect ships and settlements from the terrible power of storms, but they do not hesitate to rebuke those who abuse the life-giving waters of the sea.
Disciple of the Sea: Your dedication and service to the life giving primal waters has changed you. When you join this Circle at you gain the ability to breathe both air and water, and you gain a swimming speed equal to your movement speed.
Circle Spells: Your link with the oceans of the world grants you access to certain spells. At level 2, you learn the Shape Water cantrip.
When you reach certain Druid levels, you gain access to the spells below. They count as druid spells for you and you always have them prepared, but they don't count against the total number of spells you prepare each day. (Spells that don't have a link are described at the end)
Level 3: Hold Person Misty Step
Level 5: Tidal Wave Wall of Water
Level 7: Control Water Storm Sphere
Level 9: Hold Monster Maelstrom
Tidal Aura: You learn to channel the mystical power of the Tides, even when you are away from bodies of water. As a bonus action, you can expend a use of Wild Shape to exude a mystical watery force in a 15-foot radius. Creatures of your choice within Tidal Aura treat it as difficult terrain. If a creature has a swimming speed it can ignore this effect.
Your Tidal Aura also enhances your healing powers. When you cast a spell of 1-st level or higher that restores hit points to a creature within Tidal Aura, one target of the spell within Tidal Aura regains additional hit points equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of 1 additional hit point).
Your Tidal Aura lasts for 1 minute. The effects end early if your end it as a bonus action, or if you are Incapacitated.
Level 6 Undertow: Your Tidal magic has grown in power. Starting at Level 6, when you cast a spell of 1st-level or higher that forces a creature in your Tidal Aura to make a Strength, Dexterity, or Constitution saving throw, you can choose to empower the spell. Any creature within your Tidal Aura makes their initial saving throw against the empowered spell at disadvantage.
You can empower a spell in this way a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of once), and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Level 10 Waters of Life: Upon reaching level 10, you can wield the magic of primal water to rejuvenate your allies as you hinder your foes. When you activate your Tidal Aura you gain a pool of temporary hit points equal to your druid level + your Wisdom modifier. While that Tidal Aura is active, you can use a bonus action to distribute any amount of temporary hit points from that pool to any creature that is within your Tidal Aura, including you.
When your Tidal Aura ends, any unused temporary hit points from your pool immediately disappear.
Level 14 Master of the Waves: Your bond with the mystical waters of the world has reached its apex. Starting at level 14, you can cast Control Water at will, without expending a spell slot, so long as you can target a body of water of sufficient size for you to manipulate.
Also, the radius of your Tidal Aura increases to 30 feet, and creatures of your choice treat the area of your Tidal Aura as difficult terrain even if they have a swimming speed.
Shape Water is a Transmutation Cantrip for Druid Sorcerer and Wizard. Casting Time is 1 action Range is 30 feet Requires a Somatic Component Duration is Instantaneous or 1 Hour.
You choose an area of water that you can see within range and that fits within a 5-foot cube. You manipulate it in one of the following ways:
You instantaneously move or otherwise change the flow of the water as you direct, up to 5 feet in any direction. This movement doesn’t have enough force to cause damage.
You cause the water to form into simple shapes and animate at your direction. This change lasts for 1 hour.
You change the water’s color or opacity. The water must be changed in the same way throughout. This change lasts for 1 hour.
You freeze the water, provided that there are no creatures in it. The water unfreezes in 1 hour.
If you cast this spell multiple times, you can have no more than two of its non-instantaneous effects active at a time, and you can dismiss such an effect as an action.
Tidal Wave is a level 3 Conjuration spell for Druid Sorcerer and Wizard. Casting Time is 1 action Range is 120 feet Requires a Verbal and Somatic Component spell ingredient is a drop of water Duration is Instantaneous.
You conjure up a wave of water that crashes down on an area within range. The area can be up to 30 feet long, up to 10 feet wide, and up to 10 feet tall. Each creature in that area must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failure, a creature takes 4d8 bludgeoning damage and is Prone. On a success, a creature takes half as much damage and isn’t Prone. The water then spreads out across the ground in all directions, extinguishing unprotected flames in its area and within 30 feet of it.
Wall of Water is a level 3 Evocation spell for Druid Sorcerer and Wizard. Casting Time is 1 action Range is 60 feet Requires a Verbal and Somatic Component spell ingredient is a drop of water Duration is Concentration up to 10 minutes.
You conjure up a wall of water on the ground at a point you can see within range. You can make the wall up to 30 feet long, 10 feet high, and 1 foot thick, or you can make a ringed wall up to 20 feet in diameter, 20 feet high, and 1 foot thick. The wall vanishes when the spell ends. The wall’s space is difficult terrain.
Any ranged weapon attack that enters the wall’s space has disadvantage on the attack roll, and Fire damage is halved if the fire effect passes through the wall to reach its target. Spells that deal Cold damage that pass through the wall cause the area of the wall they pass through to freeze solid (at least a 5-foot square section is frozen). Each 5-foot-square frozen section has AC 5 and 15 hit points. Reducing a frozen section to 0 hit points destroys it. When a section is destroyed, the wall’s water doesn’t fill it.
Storm Sphere is a level 4 Evocation spell for Sorcerer and Wizard. Casting Time is 1 action Range is 150 feet Requires a Verbal and Somatic Component Duration is Concentration up to 1 minute.
A 20-foot-radius sphere of whirling air springs into existence centered on a point you choose within range. The sphere remains for the spell’s duration. Each creature in the sphere when it appears or that ends its turn there must succeed on a Strength saving throw or take 2d6 bludgeoning damage. The sphere’s space is difficult terrain.
Until the spell ends, you can use a bonus action on each of your turns to cause a bolt of lightning to leap from the center of the sphere toward one creature you choose within 60 feet of the center. Make a ranged spell attack. You have advantage on the attack roll if the target is in the sphere. On a hit, the target takes 4d6 lightning damage.
Creatures within 30 feet of the sphere have disadvantage on Perception checks made to listen.
At Higher Levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, the damage increases for each of its effects by 1d6 for each slot level above 4th.
Maelstrom is a level 5 Evocation spell unique to Druid. Casting Time is 1 action Range is 120 feet Requires a Verbal and Somatic Component spell ingredient is paper or leaf in the shape of a funnel Duration is Concentration up to 1 minute.
A mass of 5-foot-deep water appears and swirls in a 30-foot radius centered on a point you can see within range. The point must be on ground or in a body of water. Until the spell ends, that area is difficult terrain, and any creature that starts its turn there must succeed on a Strength saving throw or take 6d6 bludgeoning damage and be pulled 10 feet toward the center.
