Now we are ready to start. Annie: Hey Charlie, what are you doing for your holiday? Charlie: We’re going to Tunisia for a couple of weeks. Annie: Oh yes? When are you going? Charlie: Well, we’re leaving on Saturday August 16th and we’re getting back on Sunday 31st. Annie: You’re leaving from London, are you? Charlie: Yes, that’s right. From Gatwick airport, early in the morning... the flight leaves at 7.30, in fact. Annie: What are you going to do in Tunisia, then? Sunbathe on the beach? Charlie: Well, I’m going to spend a lot of my time on the beach, if I can, but my wife Gill’s got lots of ideas about visits. So we’re going to see the Sahara desert, and the Roman ruins, and she wants to go to Tunis to buy a carpet or something. Annie: You’re going to have some heavy luggage when you come back, then! Charlie: I suppose so. We usually do! What about you, then? Where are you going on holiday, Annie? Annie: Well, we’re going trekking in the Pyrenees. Charlie: Trekking, are you? That sounds energetic. Are you going in a group, then? Annie: Yes, about ten of us. We’re meeting at Dover on Saturday evening, August 9th, at eight o’clock, that’s the Saturday before you go. We’re taking the ferry to France and then going by train to Toulouse and then by bus to Andorra. Charlie: So you’re going to start walking in Andorra, are you? Annie: Yes, that’s it. And we’re going to walk westward, go into Spain and then into France, and aim for Lourdes and Pau. Charlie: Are you camping, then? 198
