It was thirty minutes past noon on Christmas Day, and as you can tell, the Beatles had just finished broadcasting their annual holiday message and were off to someplace familiar. Where are they going? That's what you're about to find out!
"So how did you learn about this Hampton Court Christmas Carnival, Geo?" John asked. "Well, it was pretty much a case of spontaneity. I was just surfing through channels on the telly while me wife was preparing breakfast when this advert for the event came in. I then asked her, along with my daughter, about wanting to go there after we deliver our message; and they both responded with a yes." George replied. "Ooh, that is quite interesting." John remarked. "And I should add that the carnival is sponsored by Cadbury, which means we're bound to get plenty of chocolate, too!" Laura said. "Sweet! Christmas and chocolate are always meant to go well together." Ringo replied. Sparkie made a noise that sounded like he was saying, "Uh-huh!" "I could not agree more!" Pattie said. "And of course, we are also looking forward to the rides and games!" Paul added. "Ye got that right, Macca!" George said.
With those words, everyone eagerly anticipated for what's to come during the rest of the ride.

As the group made their way down the dark coaches, it became more obvious that the ghost had indeed taken control of the train. Confirming this even further was when George held the lamp over one of the empty seats.
"Hmm... It seems like other passengers are being held hostage by that wretched phantom as well." He remarked. "Oh, so that must be the reason why the fireman was thankful about finding us. We've been spared!" Laura replied. "Yeah, I guess going to sleep must've had something to do with this." Ringo said. Sparkie nodded in agreement. Pattie then asked, "So how exactly are we gonna face the phantom, sweetie?" George replied, "Let's continue walking; I'm sure there's an emergency exit plan and maybe a rope or two which we can use to climb to the top." Pattie replied, "Okay. Good idea!" Laura and Ringo agreed.
And they did, while the engine made a roar-like sound in an attempt to scare them. It failed.

"Man, it feels so cozy in here!" Laura said after the group had taken their seats. "You can say that again, darling! Simply perfect for an overnight journey." Pattie replied. "Oh, and look! We even have our veddy own dinner menu!" George chimed in as he held up the mini booklet. "Then that makes it even better!" Pattie remarked. Ringo said, "Most definitely! I think this will be both a fun and relaxing ride. How 'bout you, Sparks?" The hedgehog made a noise that sounded like he was saying, "Indeed!" George, Laura, and Pattie nodded in agreement.
Before long, it was time for the train to leave. The ticket inspector came to check and stamp all of the boarding passes while the driver and fireman got themselves ready inside the engine. Afterwards, the guard blew his whistle and with a loud "PEEP! PEEP!", they were on their way!

Next up on the couple's itinerary is Inverness Castle. As a means of convenience, they opted to take the hotel's shuttle which offers free daily rides to the place. Their faces were again struck with awe after a short hike towards the top. "I think we can best describe this beauty with one word: Stunning!" George remarked. "I completely agree, my dear! Not to mention, the beige colour reflects very well with the sunlight." Pattie replied. "Mm-hmm! Indeed, love." George said. They then wasted no time in taking more photos. And because the castle was currently open to the public, they went inside it as well!
