TRAVELLING

I like to travel. First of all, the members of our family usually have long walks in the country. Such walks are called hikes. If we want to see country-side, we have to spend a part of our summer holidays on hikes. It is useful for all members of our family. We take our rucksacks, we don’t hurry up and we walk a lot. During such hike we see a lot of interesting places, sometimes we meet interesting people.

I like to travel by car. It is interesting too, because you can see many things in a short time. When we go by car, we don’t take tickets too, we put all things we need in a car. We don’t carry them.

It is comfortable to travel by train and by plane. When I travel by plane, I don’t spend a lot of time going from one place to another. But it is difficult to buy tickets for the plane. That’s why we take our tickets beforehand. I like to fly. If I travel by train or by plane my friends see me off at the railway station or in the airport. Sometimes we go to the seaside for a few days. As usual the weather is fine. It is warm, we can swim. It is a pleasure to watch white ships.

I think that travelling is a very useful thing for us and I enjoy all kinds of travelling very much.

 

TRAVELLING BY SEA

Almost all the people like to travel. When you have got holidays you can travel by car, by train, by plane and by sea.

I like to travel by sea best of all. Some years ago we took a cruise along the Black Sea coast, from Sochi to Sukhumi on board the liner “Russia”. We came to Sochi by train. Then we went to the seaport and saw our ship. It was big. We liked it very much. I remember the ship and our cabin. Our cabin was comfortable. It had got two berths, a table, two chairs and one wide window, and the warm wind was blowing through it. There was fresh air in our cabin during all the voyage. We had breakfast, dinner and supper on board the ship. When it was time to have meals we went to the restaurant.

The weather was fine. After breakfast we spent a lot of time on the deck sitting in deck-chairs or standing at the rail, watching the ships, passing not far from our ship. It was pleasant to watch the waves too.

I remember the sunrise and the sunset well. It was unforgettable. In the afternoon I took a sunshade because the sun was shining brightly. It was hot in the sunshine.

In the daytime we liked to watch the sea-scape. At four o'clock we entered the port of Adler. There were some ships there. We saw many people on the pier. We had some free time in Adler and we went for a walk while the ship was in the port. The water was clean and it was easy to swim in the sea. I like the Caucasus and that's why I was pleased.

At 4 o'clock we came back. The liner was going to sail off. In the evening we watched TV, danced or stayed on the deck when the weather was fine.

I enjoyed my trip to the South. This voyage impressed me for all my life.
