More adventures with Laura and Avion!

After our little foray with Avion's speedboat around the Venus Beach II sims, we decided to once again head to the forgotten area of the grid, - The Mainland.
Much to our surprise, we found hundreds of sims featuring open ocean...Thats right, actual ocean, not just void blue areas on the world map. You can travel through whole ocean sims, and even get lost, often you can see no land, even at a high draw distance. Not everything we found is on here, but lets just say, you'd also be surprised about what lies beneath,as well as eye level!! 
Check out the pics from our adventure below :)))
See you around,
Laura xx

                             Ready to Rezz our boat...plenty of places on the coast let you rezz your craft

Hair tied back! Avion pilots the boat into the endless ocean..

What lies underneath??? you'll have to come here to find out...

Oil rig in the ocean

Boarding the rig

Rig production line...???

End of the production line...fun to watch

           Level two on the rig...great attention to detail..

To find the ocean we visited in this post, this is the SLURL...

All aboard the SLRR !!

Just what the heck is the SLRR I hear you ask??
Well the SLRR is the Second Life Railroad... It runs on that forgotten backwater known as the mainland...remember that place??
Actually, it's far from a forgotten backwater! It's still well in  existence. 


Avion and I rode it the other day, starting our little trip at Tuliptree Station at the southern end of the Heterocera Atoll continent.


The SLRR originates from the early days in 2003 of Second Life, when teleport was not around. Users could simply jump on a train and travel down the line to where they wanted to go to.


Now it is a large extensive network of main lines, branch lines, and tram-style tracks. It runs inland, across lakes and oceans, through cities and through the countryside. There are many users on the same time as you. From one end to the other on the main-line takes around an hour.

Landing at Tuliptree station at the southern end of the SLRR

The SLRR map, showing users on the line, far left of screen where you can rezz and keep a freebie train to run on the network

Train rezzed! time to start the trip..

As you travel, you can click on the train to go faster, slower (slower is good, often faster you can't see much, it won't rezz in front of you, especially if you have a low draw distance) you can get your train to  go forwards, backwards, puff smoke or have a headlight on...if someone else comes, don't worry, the train is phantom while they pass you... 

   and we're off! Avion I start out across the mainland..

Continuing our trip...calling at stations, passing points of interest..

And off into the sunset!!

The SLRR covers 85+ sims, and is regularly being extended. 

You can rezz your train at most stations, and on most of the network there is an auto return of ten minutes, giving you enough time to stop and explore some sights on the way. 
It's a great way to explore, maybe not the 'girly' thing to do, but who said girls can't drive trains??!!
To try the SLRR out, do a search under 'SLRR' rezz your free train, and get driving.. Tuliptree station is the largest and best starting point.

Ripped and Torn Wrap up......and some VBII news...

"Ripped and Torn" sounded like an unusual choice for our dance party earlier this week..I had to admit that I was a bit pessimistic to start with.

Anyway, I'm told that it went really well, and Avion played a new mix of music.. She took some pictures to put up on the blog, which I'll post at the end of today's update..

On Friday we'll be staging our Friday 5am event as a 'Fairy Party" ~ with $L500 on the board for the best dressed fairy!! The party is gonna be held on the hillside above the beach... LM and details to follow soon..

We have decided that it will soon be Survey Time again. You may recall last time we did this...VBII is your community, and we need your feedback so we can improve the place.. Soon we'll be giving everyone a chance to take the survey and help bring to the community more of what you want..

See you all at one of our many events...

Laura and Avion go exploring..

Avion and I decided after our boat outing to look for something else to do in our sims...you'd be surprised what we came across!!


Have you ever looked beyond the dance floor? It's amazing what you can find if you *try* just that bit harder to look for all those hidden surprises 


Today, Avion and I decided to conquer our fears of height.. You might be amazed to know that we found a parachute and a hand glider! Both great ways to explore our sims...
I had a bit of trouble chasing Avion as she attempted to fly with the hand glider... but we got some good pics..Have a look below..
The parachute was hard to guide, ended up in the water, but was good fun...my dress needed to be washed after though, and not much fun in heels!
See you at the beach!!

VBII Highlights this week ahead...

Where ever you are, if it's hot or cold, you can be guaranteed that at Venus Beach II, the temperature's gonna be just right!.


This week I want to highlight two awesome events, at opposite ends of the spectrum, which are gonna be great events..


First event is coming up soon, Sunday 4pm SLT, will be DJ Avion with an event theme we haven't run before ~ titled 'Ripped and Torn'.. DJ Avion will be rezzing a new set, which we think we haven't used before, be sure to make an effort, cos we'll be giving away Lindens to the best dressed!


Second, at the other end of the week, Friday 5am will be held on our hillside...Come join our 'Fairy Party'. Come dressed in the cutest fairy outfit you can find, and be in with a chance to win $500L... I'm hoping the music will have a somewhat girly theme to fit!


Between these events, our regular events will run, of course, of which our highlight is Tiki Tooesday at 4pm Tuesday, always one not to miss!!




See you this week

The adventures of Laura and Avion!

What to write?? What to write?? Please girls...give me some ideas!!!
Your just gonna have to read about the crazy things Avion and I get up to in Second Life.
Today, Avion decided to rezz a boat. It was a bit hard to drive. Luckily in SL, you can drive over land, and also, luckily, you get  a million lives in SL, cos i died a few times. 
Your always welcome to navigate our waterways with a boat. We have a 1/4 sim of open water, as well as the obvious waterways, and right of ways, also not forgetting the dozen docks we have to rezz your boat..
Please just respect any privacy...
Here are some crazy pictures of Avion breaking all the rules...and my choice of clothes was maybe not the best!
See you at the beach
And, get hold of me or leave a comment if you have blog ideas!!

Tiki Tooesday....one of our favourite events!

If you missed Tiki Tooesday (aka TT - as well call it!) where have you been?? It's one of our most long running slots...It has been run faithfully by my awesome partner and co-VBII owner, Avion..
Each week, we rezz the Tiki Bar, and serve free drinks (no bar maids!).. we come clothed, topless, or naked, and have a wild time...
So next week when your sitting around with nothing to do, come on down to Tiki Tooesday, and you'll see what you've been missing out on!!!

More to see in the Gardens...where are you all??!!!

We're always trying to make our two sims more inviting and more friendly for you...somewhere where you'd want to CHOOSE to hang out, and especially, somewhere where you can be yourself without the pesky men bothering you, and sending you annoying IM's!!
Have you actually ever been to our Venus Gardens Sim? Do you know where it is, or how easy it is to get there???
Just walk away from the dance floor across the bridge to the sim next door...! Yep, thats all you have to do! Venus Beach II has a a whole second sim to explore, and the theme is much more than just beachy!
This week just gone, Avion and I added a new feature, check it out below... it's a floating lounge, with a load of cool poses... 
it's well hidden in the Venus Gardens Sim, so you have to work hard to find it...
it's worth the effort! Go alone, or take a special someone!
See you later!
