　　M: Oh, Joanne, it was amazing. I won a two-week tour from “the Millionaire Challenge” and went to Australia．

　　W: That sounds great! Where did you go?

　　M: We started off by flying to Perth on the west coast and driving across the desert to the Pinnacles．

　　W: What are the Pinnacles?

　　M: Oh, it’s a group of limestone pillars sticking up out of the sand．

　　W: That sounds interesting．

　　M: It sure was．It was definitely the most unusual thing I saw on the trip．

　　W: Yeah? Where did you go then?

　　M: We took a plane and flew to North Queensland and went out on a boat to the Great Barrier Reef．

　　W: Wow! Did you go scuba-diving?

　　M: Yeah, it was really exciting．I even saw a shark．

　　W: You’re kidding! That must have been scary．And then, what did you do?

　　M: Well, after a few days there we took another plane, this time down to Sydney, and I spent a few days there, shopping in the day, and going out at night．

　　W: How was that?

　　M: Oh, it was so much fun．I loved Sydney. There was so much to do．

　　W: It sounds like you had a great holiday．

　　M: I really did．

You can see from the satellite picture that the highest temperatures, as they so often are, are in the southern parts of Europe, where it’s also quite dry. It’s going to be quite cold over northwestern parts of Europe; it will be rainy but in the south there will be the best of the sunshine. And pretty good but cool in the eastern parts of Europe, too.
