Rosie, Nicholas, his parents, and the rest of their friends were all having a blast during the party. While eating some of the food prepared by the canteen, Mr. Jones asked his son, "Have you and Rosie chosen a new place to live in after moving out of your dorm already?" Nicholas replied, "Yes, we have, dad. Our new house is going to be a cottage located in Holland Park." Rosie added, "And the Beatles helped us in choosing and eventually purchasing it." Mr. Jones remarked, "Wow! That's great to know!" Mrs. Jones added, "Indeed! That also means we will get to visit you both at any time there." Rosie replied, "Absolutely! Our dog, Timothy, will be able to have more space to play on, too." Nicholas nodded in agreement. John said, "Before that, though, we'll be heading to Thorpe Park tomorrow for our own celebration. A cabin has been booked for us." Mr. Jones replied, "Sounds exciting! I'm sure you'll all have a lovely time." Paul said, "Oh, we certainly will!" Mr. and Mrs. Jones smiled in return. The rest of the afternoon was spent with lots of dancing. When the party was over, Rosie, Nicholas, and their classmates were given souvenir bags of the university as tokens of remembrance for their college years. Mr. and Mrs. Jones then drove back to Liverpool while the lads and the six friends returned to the dorm so they could start packing up.

The next day, everyone started their tour of the city shortly after breakfast. They invited Stuart to join them again, to which he happily accepted. The sightseeing bus ride covered many parts of the city and its landmarks. It even passed by the Cardiff Castle. An hour later, the group got off near the National Museum and Gallery of Wales so that they could use their admission passes. Afterwards, they walked to the nearby Queens Arcade to shop for some souvenirs. They then resumed their ride and continued enjoying it all the way until three in the afternoon. The boat ride at the Bay was also magnificent, and Rosie stretched her arms widely as she felt the cool sea breeze. Overall, it was an excellent experience for all of them.

As the sky started getting dark, John stood up and told the others, "We better get back to the stage, me mates. Our concert will be commencing in an hour from now." Rosie looked at her watch and replied, "Oh, yes! You're right, Johnny. Let's get going." While they walked, George said, "Those glazed donuts were the best that I've ever tasted. I think we should buy some more before we move on to our next stop, what do you all say?" Ringo replied, "Of course! And they have just the right amount of sweetness, too." Nicholas added, "Indeed!" The group soon got their instruments ready, and the concert was yet another rockin' good time for both them and their Welsh fans. After the autograph session, Paul remarked, "Another bloody fantastic concert in the books! I'm so happy for us!" Rosie responded, "That's for sure!" The others nodded in agreement. They then returned to the room with their instruments and had dinner at the hotel's restaurant before calling it a night.

The group went outside again to have a little exploration around the Bay area before the next concert. They took even more photos and another funny video as they walked. Since this is yet another two-day stay for them, they also decided to buy tickets for tomorrow's city sightseeing tour at the nearby visitor's center, which included a free twenty-minute boat ride and admission passes for the National Museum. It was quite a good deal. After that, they bought some mini glazed donuts to munch on while enjoying the view of the sea from one of the benches.

Shortly after breakfast was over, the Beatles, Rosie, and Nicholas returned to the bus. Stuart asked, "How was your breakfast, mates?" Rosie replied, "It was delicious, Stu!" The others nodded in agreement. Stuart said, "Jolly good! Also, I've found the perfect place for your concert here. It's called the Wales Millennium Center, and it's located in the Bay." John replied, "Excellent! Speaking of which, our hotel is in the same area too. Can you please take us there?" Stuart responded, "Certainly!" And so, they proceeded to the Bay and got their instruments upon arriving. They then walked to their venue and immediately found a great room inside. Afterwards, they took some photos and got settled in their hotel a few hours later.

After ten hours of being on the road, the tour bus had begun to approach the Welsh capital. The Beatles, Rosie, and Nicholas slept for most of the ride and were awakened by the sunrise. Rosie looked through the window and said, "I have a feeling that we're almost there, guys!" Nicholas replied, "I do too, love! And it's just in time for breakfast." "Got that right, mate!", exclaimed Ringo as he played his trumpet to start the day. Rosie then said, "I'm looking forward to what's in store for us in Cardiff." George replied, "That makes all of us, dear." She smiled and winked in response. Soon, they reached the city center and proceeded to have breakfast while waiting for their hotel's check-in time.

I'm excited for what's in store for us when we get to Cardiff, Wales." "That makes all of us, mate!", remarked George. Everyone smiled and nodded in response. Soon, the bus was on the road again.

After eating dinner, the group returned to the bus. As they boarded, Stuart said, "That was such another fabulous concert, mates!" Rosie replied, "Indeed, it was, Stu!" The others nodded in agreement. He then asked, "So, shall I take you all to your overnight stay at the inn?" Nicholas replied, "Yes, please!" "Okie dokie!", replied Stuart. They left the castle and drove straight to the main city, which is where their inn is located. They then proceeded to check-in and relaxed inside their room until 10:30 pm. Afterwards, they called it a night and dozed off to sleep so that they'll be fully rested for the next day of some shopping and sightseeing.

The Beatles, Rosie, and Nicholas spent the rest of the afternoon exploring the other parts of the castle. When they reached the top, they were greeted by a strong, yet cool breeze. Rosie exclaimed as they walked around while admiring the view, "Ah, this is the life!" Nicholas replied, "Indeed, love!" "And this wind feels so good!", added Ringo as he practiced playing the bagpipes. Everyone also took more pictures and even did some wacky poses. They had a hearty laugh as they reviewed them. The group returned downstairs as the sky started to get dark. They then noticed the fans arriving and proceeded back to the armory room to get ready for the concert.

Inside the castle, the group informed those in charge at the visitor's center that they will be holding a concert in one of the rooms. They agreed to this since the castle is open for events. The Beatles, Rosie, and Nicholas then explored the place until John exclaimed upon passing by the armory room, "This is the perfect spot for our concert, mates!" They went inside and were quite pleased with how big it is. Paul remarked, "You're right, mate! This room has plenty of space for all of the attending fans." John replied, "Indeed, it has." The others nodded in agreement. Everyone then started setting up their instruments. Afterwards, they proceeded to grab some lunch at one of the restaurants in the courtyard.

The ride to Edinburgh had been going very well for the Beatles, Rosie, and Nicholas. As they were enjoying it, John said, "Hey, mates. How about we turn our next concert into a castle party this time?" Rosie replied, "That sounds exciting, John! Certainly!" Nicholas added, "Indeed! It will be just like the one we had in Dover Castle last year, except there's no getting rid of evil spirits this time." "Precisely, mate!", replied John. George, Paul, and Ringo nodded in agreement to his idea. Stuart also heard the conversation and decided to drive them straight to Edinburgh Castle. They soon made it there and were awed by the grand fortress upon getting off. Rosie said, "Thanks for bringing us here, Stuart!" He replied, "My pleasure, chaps! Have fun!" The group then took some photos. Afterwards, they got their instruments and went inside to look for an ideal spot for the concert.

The group returned to their room at around 10:00 pm. As they packed their things before sleeping, Ringo told the others, "Y'know, an idea just popped out of me head while we were having dinner. How about I add some Scottish flair to our next concert by playing the bagpipes along with my trumpet and drums?" John replied, "That's a jolly good idea there, Ritchie! Go for it!" Rosie added, "Yes!" Ringo smiled and said, "All righty, mates!" The others smiled in return. Soon, they called it a night and went to bed. In the next morning, after eating breakfast and checking out of the hotel, everyone walked back to the bus and started their ride to Edinburgh. We shall see how this unfolds in the next story.

The Beatles, Rosie, Nicholas, and Stuart continued enjoying the Highlands until it was time to leave at two in the afternoon. As part of the tour package, the bus took them to the weekend market just outside the city. There, they shopped for some local souvenirs, including a bunch of bagpipes and boxes of shortbread cookies. It was another great experience for them. After they were dropped off at the city square as the tour ended, the group decided to leave their newly-bought stuff in the room. Nicholas said, "That was such a lovely Scottish Highlands tour we had, mates." George replied, "Indeed, it was, me friend." Everyone then rested for a few hours. When evening came, they went back outside to cap off their wonderful day with a hearty dinner.

After eating breakfast, everyone started their tour to the Highlands. They arrived at around thirty minutes past ten. The group then got off the tour bus and took a hike to the top. Upon reaching it, Rosie's mouth dropped open in awe and exclaimed, "Oh, my goodness! It's so beautiful here!" Nicholas added, "I couldn't agree more, love! No wonder Scruffy's and Buzzy's parents decided to visit this place for their honeymoon vacation." Rosie replied, "Indeed, buddy." Ringo remarked, "Wow. That's very nice." John, Paul, George, and Stuart nodded in agreement. Nicholas replied, "Yes. It certainly is." Ringo then decided to play his trumpet while the group enjoyed the views and took lots of photos and videos. The trumpet's melody even harmonized with the sound of bagpipes nearby. At noon time, they were treated with a tasty lunch of haggis and mash.

John replied, "We really did, Stu! I'm veddy happy for us." The others nodded in agreement while smiling. Paul then asked, "Would you like to have dinner with us at the hotel's restaurant?" Stuart replied, "Absolutely!" Paul said, "All right." With that, everyone returned to the hotel and had a very tasty dinner there. Afterwards, they said their Goodnight's as Rosie, Nicholas, and the Beatles went back to the room and got ready for bed so that they'll be fully rested for their tour to the Scottish Highlands the next morning.

"We're here, chaps!" Exclaimed Stuart as the bus finally made it to Glasgow. Rosie exclaimed upon waking up, "Awesome! We are now in Scotland." "Indeed, we are, darling!" Added Nicholas. They all went out happily and got their instruments and other things. Since the group had booked a hotel room ahead of time for this stop, they decided to proceed there to check in and leave their stuff. After setting up their instruments in the stage, John told the others, "Let's go to the visitor's center to arrange for a tour to the Scottish Highlands tomorrow." Rosie replied, "Sure! That sounds very exciting." Ringo added, "Definitely!" They were then able to reserve it smoothly and invited Stuart to join along as well. Afterwards, the Beatles, Rosie, and Nicholas spent the rest of the afternoon walking around the city square.

Everyone had been enjoying the journey overall. As noon approached, Stuart thought that they should stop for a while to have lunch. Luckily, he spotted a gas station with a restaurant, and he changed the course of the bus so that it'll go there. They then got off, proceeded to the restaurant, and had a very satisfying meal. After paying for their food, the group took some photos around the area before resuming the ride. The Beatles, Rosie, and Nicholas decided to take another nap by the time they got on the road again.
