Stephen: Right, I think we’ve got everything.
Ashlie: Here, let me help you with that.
Stephen: No, it’s OK, I’ve got it.
Ashlie: We’re here in the beautiful mountains of Snowdonia in North Wales. We’re here for a short relaxing break. We’re going to put our feet up and have a complete rest for a couple of days. That’s right, isn’t it Stephen?
Stephen: Speak for yourself, Ash. Snowdonia is a great place for outdoor activities. You can go climbing, cycling, walking... I can’t wait to get out onto the mountains and get some fresh air. Come on Ash. Let’s check in.
Receptionist: Hi - Can I help you?
Ashlie: Hi, yes. We have a reservation for two nights.
Receptionist: OK, what’s the name, please?
Ashlie: Walker.
Receptionist: Walker. Is that Stephen and Ashlie?
Ashlie: Yes.
Receptionist: Two rooms for two nights?
Ashlie: Yes.
Receptionist: Can I just get you to fill this in, please?
Ashlie: Sure.
Stephen: Hey Ash, have you seen all these leaflets? There’s loads of stuff to do here. I’m going to hire a bike and ride to the top of the mountain. Do you want to come?
Ashlie: What, now? You’re joking, aren’t you?
Stephen: Yeah – take these, can I have my room key, please? Thank you. I’m going to go get changed. I’ll meet you back here in twenty minutes.
Ashlie: OK.
.....
Ashlie: OK, so I think I'll have the manicure, the pedicure...
Assistant: OK.
Ashlie: Oh, and I’ll have that Indian head massage, too. And can you just tell me, what’s the hot stones massage?
Assistant: Well, we use volcanic rock. You know, stones from a volcano; we heat them up and then we massage them over your body. It’s really relaxing.
Ashlie: Yeah, that sounds nice. Maybe I’ll have that, too. Oh, and I see you do treatments for men?
Assistant: Yeah, we do a lot of treatments for men.
Ashlie: Stephen doesn't know what he's missing.
.....
Ashlie: Look at you!
Stephen: It’s great, isn’t it? I’m all set to go. What are you going to do while I’m racing to the top of the mountain?
Ashlie: Well, I thought I might try this… It looks really relaxing and much better than cycling to the top of some old mountain.
Stephen: Yeah, it looks like hard work.
Ashlie: Go on you, get going. Have a good time – and call me later.
Stephen: Bye.
Ashlie: Bye.
.....
Ashlie: This is just so relaxing.
.....
Ashlie: Hello.
Stephen: Hi, Ashlie.
Ashlie: Hi, Stephen. How are you doing?
Stephen: I’m... exhausted. I can hardly speak.
Ashlie: Me too. This is lovely. I’m so relaxed.
Stephen: Ah, this is really tough. I’ve got a long way to go but I'm going to make it to the top.
Ashlie: OK, then – well you just take it easy.
Stephen: Yeah, alright.
Ashlie: OK, see you later.
Stephen: OK, bye!
Ashlie: Snowden Mountain Railway. I think he’ll see me sooner than he thinks!
