Thousands of people spend their holidays traveling. They travel by trains, buses, their own cars and motorcycles. They cruise the Volga, the Dnieper, the Angara, the Yenisei and the Black Sea. They hike in the dense forests of Siberia and along the Georgian Military Highway, one, of the best mountain roads of the Central Caucasus. They climb the famous peaks of the Caucasian mountains – Elbrus and Kazbek. They enjoy the beauty of snow-covered mountains and blue glaciers, of sunny valleys and vast forests.
A lot of people travel in their own cars along the roads of Lithuania, Byelorussia and Moldavia. Beautiful pine forests and silvery birches, picturesque rivers and numerous lakes attract lovers of nature.
They travel not only to enjoy picturesque places, but also to see ancient monuments of culture and historical places of the country.
Hiking is becoming very popular. People like to spend their days off in the country. There are picturesque places near every town with forests, lakes and rivers. It is pleasant to spend a day chatting, joking and singing with friends on a river bank, a lakeshore or at a bonfire in a forest, having a good time and a good rest. Happy, they return home to plan new hikes for the coming weekend.
Travelling by air has some advantages of course. It is convenient and much quicker than any other means of traveling.
Before you get on board the plane you have your luggage registered. It is weighed and labelled. You do not take your luggage with you, only a small bag, perhaps. Before the flight you can watch the planes taking off and landing.
Then you hear yourflight announced and the passengers are invited to get into the plane and take their seats. The stewardess greats the passengers and shows them to their seats. When the plane takes off, she gives the passengers all the information about the flight, about the speed and the altitude at which the plane will be flying. She asks the passengers to fasten their seat belts and not to smoke when the plane takes off. Then she brings them some mineral water, lemonade and sweets.
During the flight the passengers do whatever they like. Some of them read, others sleep or chat or looking out enjoy the beautiful scenes. Occasionally the plane sways very gently up and down or from side to side, giving the scene a strangely unreal quality. You watch fascinated. Sometimes you can see the land below. It looks like a topographical map. You reach your destination in a few hours and realize all the advantages of traveling by air.
