Roo Island is a medium-sized island around thirty miles east of the main Neopian Coastline. It is easy to get there as there is a twice-daily ferry service leaving from the port of Neopia Central (with a 30NP fee). For years, Roo Island has been the home of the fun loving Blumaroo, ruled over by their wise king, King Roo.
The Island itself is around 50 miles in diameter, and about 100 miles north to south. There are three main towns, the biggest of which is Roo City, home of the royal Roo palace. Each of the towns is connected via a well kept road, and trade caravans are not uncommon. There are also a handful of little villages dotted around the island, which I certainly recommend visiting in the summer.
The fun-loving Blumaroo are great to be around, there is always a smile on everybodys face, and you can always see the young Blumaroo playing in the meadows and fields. The older Blumaroo mainly concentrate on creating interesting arts and crafts that they sell to the mainland.

Places of Interest

Grandma Roo's Cafe - Situated in the village of Blumaria, located towards the north of Roo Island, this little cafe serves delightful scones and tea. Grandma Roo has been running the cafe for over 30 years now, and is still going strong. She will also make any pancake to order.

Tournament Hall - The tournament hall is a large marble building near to the royal palace in Roo City. Once used used for boring town meetings, King Roo has turned it into the location of Neopias biggest Dice-A-Roo tournament. Every year thousands of Neopians meet up to play and try and win one of King Roo's fantastic prizes.

Spring Shop - Even though Blumaroos possess a natural spring in their tail, sometimes this isnt enough - and the Spring Shop that just opened up in Northern Blumaria is doing great business as a result. They sell anything that can make you bounce even higher, extra springs, pogo sticks, trampolines, and much more.
