My first journey
For some people there is nothing so exciting as travelling, and I'm not an exception. And I'm happy that I have travelled 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 travelling 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 airfare 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 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 seasick 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 travelling on foot. No one can deny that walking is the cheapest method of travelling.
