A voyage by sea
I like to travel. Whole of our family usually have long walks in the
country. They call such walks hikes. We take our mcksacks and the tent with us
and don't think of any tickets. We are not in a hurry and we walk a lot just
watching nature around us. It is also exciting to travel by car. Daddy prepares
our Volvo for a trip and we can go anywhere. Traveling by car you can see a lot
of sights and things in a short time. We take anything we need to eat or drink
with us, but sometimes stop for a meal in a road cafe. There is no need for
tickets as well when you travel by car.
Once in two or three years we visit our granny in
the Ukraine. There we travel by train, because she lives in a village. Taking a
train is more comfortable. I like traveling by train and like to watch cities
and villages from the window.
When I was eleven, my parents took me to a cmise
along the Black Sea coast, from Odessa to Sukhumi. We went to Odessa by train,
came to the port and saw our ship. It was big like a high building and
beautiful like a white bird. I still remember the ship and our cabin. It was
very comfortable. When it was time to have meals we went to the restaurant. I
spent a lot of time on the upper deck watching the shore nnd the ships
passing by. I can remember those wonderful sunsets and sunrises. We were off in
Sukhumi after visiting Sevastopol and Novorossijsk. It was very hot in Sukhumi,
but we stayed there for another week and had a lot of swimming and sunbathing.
I think I shall remember this voyage for the rest of my life. Last year we went
to Antalia, Turkey. We took a plane from Sheremetevo-2 International Airport.
It was a great pleasure to have sea baths in November and I came back with a
certain tan. The weather was fine and the food delicious. I watched white
oceanic boats in the bay.
I think traveling is very exciting. I have a dream
to get older and travel to Australia and make friends with aborigines.
