The first tour arranged by Pink Village Charter Club took place December 13th 1998, and the group of 10 tourists headed for A'tuin. A'tuin owners, Carre and Magine, guided us to several of their main attractions, a various program lasting for a little more than 2 hours. Make sure to keep an eye open for our next tour that will be announced late January 99. Subscribe to the club's mailing list to get an invitation.

Departure from PV Charter Club's club
centre at AW
2220s 2179e 0.15a, 8pm vrt sharp. Globetrotters arrived, all
dressed up like tourists with cams on their stomach:)
Bille gave some brief introduction of the tour, before the group moved on to the Teleport Bus. |
 |
Some participants seated in the Teleport Bus, which after it's started, actually give one the feeling of moving forward. Weak avatars felt unwell for a few minutes - it takes some while to travel by bus all the way from Pink Village to the wonderful world of A'tuin... |
 |
Arriving A'tuin at their GZ, Turtle
Landing. Carre and Magine had prepeared their guiding well, even creating
a special avatar with turtle T-shirts:)
"Welcome to A'tuin, welcome PV charter bus! A'tuin is the name of our great Turtle mascot, from Terry Prachett's fantasy novels. Our world will be two years old in march..." |
 |
"Today we will be visiting torchlight
bay, the ghost castle, santa's workshop at the north pole and a buffet
at yacht club :)"
"For today, we have a special pv charter bus stop to the south..." And, we all clicked the busstop to move to the 1st sight...

Crossing a bridge on our way to Torchlight
Bay. The beautiful sceenary includes wide areas with water;
"Are there alligators in these waters?" "Nope, just our friendly A'tuin and perly mack the shark. Pearly mack, our non-human- eating shark lives in the lagoon over here." |
 |
"You are now in beautiful torchlight
bay, a good place to relax, enjoy a lunch, take pictures in front
of falls. We had a wedding here, over 75 guests in attendance.
"Nice waterfall" "It's beautiful:)"
|
 |
The participants gathered for a group
photo:) Byte Me and Bille were on the wrong side of the camera...
"Btw, has everyone been noticing the sky?" "It's becoming Dusk?" "The sun rises and sets continuously in this area..." |
 |
"If you step down this way a bit, toward
the east, you will see the night sky and stone- henge, complete with a
sunrize. The henge itself was converted from a vrml model that is an authentic
replica of stonehenge..."
"ya, isn't this great"
|
 |
"Oh, yes, there
is a cow there..."
"Steak for supper?" "We sometimes celebrate pagan holidays here." "oh, you need a bull and a rooster for that, right?" "you walk the cattle past the bonfire to drive our the
bad lucj, eheh..."

next halloween.
"Hey

|
 |
"All of pv charter, ready, teleport
now to Santa's secret workshop at North Pole - 18.5N 2.0E 3.9a 10..."
"Hey, u should have given the tourists some warmer cloths" "true, we did discuss parkas..." "This got to be the coolest world in AW Universe:)" |
