er so I'm arriving at the airport 9 o'clock and taking off 10 o'clock.
Er going an a cultural holiday.
This is what I've wanted to'ilo for a long time.
The usual sort of thing is lying on a beach but this is going to be a bit different.
Barbara:Yes, you don't you don't like that, do you?
Alistair:No, no, so I'm hoping to do some museums, art galleries,
taste abit of the food and the drink and the lifestyle of Italy,
I've always wanted to go there.
There are, I've got a whole list of, you know, museums and art galleries
and in fact I'm hiring a car in Milan so I can drive around a bit.
I can leave Milan and go south if I get bored with that city,
so I'm really looking forward to it.
Barbara: Well that's not really my cup of tea at all for a holiday.
No, I don't think I'll be doing that this year.
Mike:What are your plans then Barbara?
Barbara: Well, I'm not sure.I may go somewhere,
well I don't know, I may go to Tenerife,
I just want something,you know, where I can just relax,
lie in the sun for two weeks and come back,you know,looking fantastic,
but I'm not sure where I'm going to go.
I might go to Tenerife,
might go to Greece, you know,I haven't really made up my mind.
Alistair:So you're not a culture vulture like myself?
Barbara:Oh no,no,I mean I like watching programmes on the television,you know,
but when it comes to walking round museums for your holiday,no,no,that's not me at all.
I'm far happier,you know, drinking up the old sunshine on the beach there.
Mike:Yes.I agree about that,actually.

What about you,Mike?
What're your plans?

I'm going at the end of tenn.
I've got a week free. Yes.
Small cottage,self-catering, like to do that,
don't trust anyone else's food so I shall do that.
Barbara:But what about if it's really raining, or...?
Mike:Well, if it's raining really hard,
if it's really chucking it down I'll go out in the car,
perhaps, but I really don't mind,I really don't mind going out in bad weather.
Barbara: But you go out rain or shine?
Mike:I don't mind,yes,no,I've got the equipment,I don't mind,
in fact it's often more exciting if the weather's a bit wild.
Alistair:Wind, rain, all that business.

Barbara:Well, I wish you luck, it's not my scene at all.
Alistair:Nor mine I'm afraid, no.
