Travelling by car, train, plane
I like to travel by car. It is interesting, 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
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 pleasure to
watch white ships. I think that travelling is a very useful thing for us and I
enjoy all kinds of traveling very much.
I like to travel by sea. 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
The weather was fine. After
breakfast we spent a lot of time on the deck sitting in deck chair or standing
at the rain watching the ship, passing not far from our ship. It was pleasant
to watch the waves
