For some people there is nothing as exciting as traveling, and I’m not
an exception. And I’m happy that I have traveled a lot and I hope that
my first journey wasn’t the last one.
First I bought a ticket for plane. Many people think, that nothing can
be compared with traveling by air, because it is the most comfortable,
and, of course, the quickest way of moving. There is none of the dust
and dirt of a railway or car journey, none of the trouble of changing
from train of another to streamer and then to another train. But booking
tickets in summer is a problem. The air-fare is quite expensive and not
all people can afford it.
Then I continued my way by the train. This kind of transport has also
many advantages. With a train you have a comfort and speed combined.
From a comfortable corner seat of a railway carriage you have a splendid
view of a countryside. If you are hungry you can have a meal in the
dinning-car and if the journey is long one can have a bed in a sleeper.
But I believe that there is no travel so fine as by ship. It’s wonderful
to feel the deck of the ship under the feet, to see the rise and fall
of the waves, to feel the fresh sea wind blowing in the face, hear the
cry of the sea-gulls. Of course, the voyage isn’t exciting for those who
are sea-sick when the sea is a little bit rough.
Many people say: "Give me a walking tour any time”. And it is not
surprising. The walker leaves the dull, broad highway and goes along
little winding lanes where cars can’t go. He takes mountain paths
through the heather, he wonders by the side of quiet lakes and through
the shades of woods.
He sees the real country, the wild flowers, the young birds in their
nests, the deer in the forest, he feels the quietness and calm of
nature. And besides, you are saving a lot of money by traveling on foot.
No one can deny that walking is the cheapest method of traveling.
