We enjoy coming back to green nature. We take deep breaths of healthy fresh air free of dust and smog. Nature has a posisitve effect on man´s physical and mental well-being. Nowadays we are able to travel even to distant countries, where we can get acquainted with new cultures, interesting people and their customs, and compare the differences between the way of living in our country and the land we are visiting. Contacts with people help to deepen our knowledge of the history and development of other countries. Many of us are fond of visiting castles, chateaux, palaces, fortresses, ruins, rotundas, churches, cathedrals and temples. The eye´s of the visitor are often mesmerised by the masterly work of architects and builders. Today´s monuments are a testament to the gradual development of the ages, changing fashions and even political systems. In the past religion had an enormous effect on people´s lives.
When we decide to travel, first we ought to know our destination. We can travel in many ways. The simplest way would be to go everywhere on foot. We don´t need to worry about missing the bus, running out of gas, our car breaking down or getting into a car accident.
Our own feet will také us everywhere we want to go. We can even get to places that we could never reach by car. When we´re tired, we can simply sit down, rest and have a snack. If we like taking longer hikes, which could make us tired, we should take with us proper refreshments, including something to drink. It´s important to include in our backpack adhesive plasters and a bandage. One never knows what may happen.
Another possibility for our travelling is to go by car. Almost every family today owns a car. Travelling by this means of transportation is quite convenient, because the car can take us relatively quickly to wherever we want to go at the moment. All that we need to do is get in and start driving. As drivers, we should, however, respect certain rules and principles. Today´s advanced civilisation builds special roads and motorways for car with rest areas, gas stations and motorests. There a traveller can relax and order a meal, fill up the gas tank, get a car-wash, buy what he needs and then can keep going on his way.
Another popular means of transportation is the bus. Travelling by bus may sometimes be a little uncomfortable, but the situation is gradually improving.
