Kia ora!
Ah, morning! Wow! Looks like you gotta tan over the weekend!- Yeah. The weather was great so some mates and I went tramping.
- Oh. Sounds fun.
- Do you often go tramping on the weekend?
- Well, it's been a while 'cos we've been so tied up with that project.
- But I try to go whenever I can if the weather's good.
- Oh. Where do you usually go?
- Um, I like the Milford track down South but I stay away from there over the summer hols 'cos there're way too many people around at that time.
- So where'd you go yesterday?
- We went up Mount Taranaki.
- It's a little bit further away but the views from the top are awesome.
- Take any photos?
- I did! Uploaded them to Facebook. Here, have a look on my phone.
- Wow, these are really cool!
- Cheers. One of my mate is a pretty decent photographer.
- He took these and posted them last night.
- Aren't they great?
- Yeah, They are, mate.
