Two hours later, the seaQuest crew was in the city, wandering around the Christmas carnival. However, none of them were in the mood for the traditional activities, like drinking mulled wine or hot cocoa. The weather was too warm for that.
The whole thing felt kind of surreal to Dr. Westphalen. For her, Christmas and really cold weather went hand in hand. And all the fake snow just looked cheap to her. It was so beautiful when it was really snowing and you could warm your cold hands on a hot cup of mulled wine.
The doctor felt sorry for the man who had to walk around in the warm Santa suit and give out sweets to the children. She just hoped that he wouldn't get heat-stroke.
The crew stopped in front of a ferris wheel. They divided themselves into two groups and went for a ride. The view was really worth the money.
After the ride, they walked to one of the food stalls and bought cotton candy, caramel apples, and other things like that. Some of them went and bought a few small things for family members or friends, and then they all went for a ride on the carousel.
On the carousel were wooden horses that were painted brown, black, and white. It looked very old, like it had seen many Christmas carnivals before. But, it was clearly well-cared for.
In the end, no one could really say how Benjamin Krieg had talked them into getting on the ride, but they had fun and laughed a lot.
