MARY: You said you went climbing! Did you go up the Jungfrau by train? That isn’t climbing.

GEORGE: The railway doesn’t go to the top! We climbed from the end of the railway.

MARY: Here is a photograph of a steamer.

GEORGE: That’s a lake steamer. It takes passengers round one of the two lakes at Interlaken. Interlaken is between the two lakes.

MARY: That’s what the name Interlaken means, isn’t it? Who are these three men?

GEORGE: The man on the left is an Italian who has climbed most of the mountains in the Alps. The man in the middle is a Frenchman who has done a lot of climbing in the Pyrenees. The third man, on the right, is a Swiss guide. He’s the man who took us up several mountains. You must have a good guide in the Alps. It’s dangerous to climb alone.

MARY: And what’s this?

GEORGE: That’s one of the mountain huts we slept in when we were doing a two-day climb.

MARY: And this? It’s a hotel, isn’t it?

GEORGE: Yes, that’s the hotel I stayed in while I was in Geneva for a few days.

MARY: This is a pretty little village.

GEORGE: Isn’t it? It’s a place where I stayed for two days after my longest climb. I was very tired.

MARY: And who are these people?

GEORGE: They’re the people at whose house I stayed in the village.

MARY: Well, you certainly had a good holiday.

GEORGE: Yes, I enjoyed every minute of it. I hope I shall be able to go again next summer.
