Travelling by ship

On board a ship we will spend more time than in/on a plane. For us, Europeans, a ship is the most often used as a connection between the Continent and Great Britain. The shortest sea crossing by ferry from Calais to Dover takes one hour and a half.
A ferry is a boat or a ship which carries people or goods including cars. It makes short regular journeys between two or more places.

Travelling on foot

Travelling on foot is the simpliest, healthiest and cheapest way of travelling. All we need is a healthy pair of feet/legs. When we are tired, we can simply sit down, relax and have a snack. It is worth having a good map and a compass with us not to get lost on the way.

Hitchhiking

Hitchhiking is a very special type of travelling. It is mostly used by young people who are not afraid of taking a risk. Some travellers get also abroad in this way.
