They visit many new places together, including Tutankhamen' tomb and Cleopatra in Ancient Egypt, an underground city in Turkey, Louisbourg and Paris during the storming of the Bastille. They find themselves performing in Barnum and Bailey's circus and discover what school was like back in the nineteenth century.
