Millions of people all over the world spend their holidays travelling.

They travel to see other countries and continents, modern cities and the ruins of ancient towns, they travel to enjoy picturesque places, or just for a change of scene.

It's always interesting to discover new things, different ways of life, to meet different people, to try different food, to listen to different musical rhythms.

Those who live in the country like to go to a big city and spend their time visiting museums and art galleries, looking at shop windows and dining at exotic restaurants.

City-dwellers usually like a quiet holiday by the sea or in the mountains, with nothing to do but walk and bathe and laze in the sun.

Most travellers and holiday-makers take a camera with them and take pictures of everything that interests them — the sights of a city, old churches and castles, views of mountains, lakes, valleys, plains, waterfalls, forests; different kinds of trees, flowers and plants, animals and birds.

Later, perhaps years later, they will be reminded by the photos of the happy time they have had.

People travel
by train
by plane
by boat
by car.

The fastest way of travelling is by plane.
With a modern air-liner you can now travel in one day to places which it took a month or more a hundred years ago. All you have to do is to ring up the air-line booking-office, and they will send your ticket to your home.

Passengers must register their tickets, weigh in and register the luggage. Most airlines have at least two classes of travel: first class and economy class, which is cheaper.

The seats on the plane are comfortable, and you can sit and read, look out of the window or sleep until you arrive at your airport.

Travelling by train is slower than by plane but it also has its advantages
You can see the country you are travelling through.

Modern trains have very comfortable seats in all passenger carriages and there are sleeping-cars and dining-cars, which make even the longest journey enjoyable.

Some people, who are not sea-sick prefer to travel by ship when possible.

There are large liners,
holiday ships and
river boats on board.

Ships are not so fast as trains or planes but a sea voyage or rivertrip is a very pleasant way of spending a holiday.

Many people like to travel by car.
The advantages of this way of spending a holiday are that you can make your own time-table, you don't have to buy a ticket and you are not afraid you will miss your train.

Besides you can travel three or four hundred miles of only fifty or one hundred miles a day, just as you like.

And then you can stop whenever you wish —where there is something interesting to see at a good restaurant where you can enjoy a good meal or a hotel to spend the night.

That is why travelling by car is popular for pleasure trips, while people usually take a train or plane when they are travelling on business.

If we are fond of travelling, we see and learn a lot of things that we can never see or learn at home, though we may read about them in books and newspapers, and see pictures of them on TV.

The best way to study geography is to travel, and the best way to get to know and understand people is to meet them in their own homes.
