[07:13.87]er so I'm arriving at the airport 9 o'clock and taking off 10 o'clock.
[07:19.72]Er going an a cultural holiday.
[07:23.06]This is what I've wanted to'ilo for a long time.
[07:26.62]The usual sort of thing is lying on a beach but this is going to be a bit different.
[07:33.38]Barbara:Yes, you don't you don't like that, do you?
[07:37.22]Alistair:No, no, so I'm hoping to do some museums, art galleries,
[07:44.14]taste abit of the food and the drink and the lifestyle of Italy,
[07:48.77]I've always wanted to go there.
[07:51.48]There are, I've got a whole list of, you know, museums and art galleries
[07:58.25]and in fact I'm hiring a car in Milan so I can drive around a bit.
[08:02.69]I can leave Milan and go south if I get bored with that city,
[08:07.42]so I'm really looking forward to it.
[08:10.66]Barbara:  Well that's not really my cup of tea at all for a holiday.
[08:14.50]No, I don't think I'll be doing that this year.
[08:18.05]Mike:What are your plans then Barbara?
[08:21.29]Barbara:  Well, I'm not sure.I may go somewhere,
[08:24.74]well I don't know, I may go to Tenerife,
[08:28.19]I just want something,you know, where I can just relax,
[08:32.52]lie in the sun for two weeks and come back,you know,looking fantastic,
[08:37.25]but I'm not sure where I'm going to go.
[08:41.09]I might go to Tenerife,
[08:44.33]might go to Greece, you know,I haven't really made up my mind.
[08:48.95]Alistair:So you're not a culture vulture like myself?
[08:52.90]Barbara:Oh no,no,I mean I like watching programmes on the television,you know,
[08:57.86]but when it comes to walking round museums for your holiday,no,no,that's not me at all.
[09:04.63]I'm far happier,you know, drinking up the old sunshine on the beach there.
[09:09.59]Mike:Yes.I agree about that,actually.
[09:12.83]Barbara:  Dropping into a bar at,you know, lunchtime,back on the beach.

[10:07.61]Mike:Well, if it's raining really hard,
[10:11.06]if it's really chucking it down I'll go out in the car,
[10:15.39]perhaps, but I really don't mind,I really don't mind going out in bad weather.
[10:20.41]Barbara: But you go out rain or shine?
[10:23.23]Mike:I don't mind,yes,no,I've got the equipment,I don't mind,
[10:29.16]in fact it's often more exciting if the weather's a bit wild.

[10:38.35]Mike:The elements you know.
[10:41.41]Barbara:Well, I wish you luck, it's not my scene at all.

[13:05.37]Robin:What are mangoes like?

[13:58.22]Robin:Ever been on a camel, Bart?
