Travelling, going on holiday, transport

I think travelling is still very popular activity in the 20th century. People all around the world travel for various reasons - they like travelling because it is exciting to see new places, meet new people and friends, and see the different way of life in various countries, some of them travel for cultural or scientific reasons, some on business. Travelling is always a big experience but on the other hand it can be also quite dangerous - we can meet bad people, we can get lost, our money can be stolen or we can be murdered. 

The most important reason of travelling, mainly during the holidays, is tourism. Thousands of people want to see the most beautiful sights and places in the world such as Venice, London, Rome, but also Niagara Falls, NP Yellowstone, Great Chinese Wall etc. every year.

Travelling can by practised in many ways and there are many kinds of transport for travelling. Young people like hitchhiking, some people prefer going by car, by train, by plane or by bus, cheapest transport is cycling.

From time to time nearly every family spared money for spending their summer abroad. When we go abroad we usually must get necessary documents. First of all is a valid passport,  besides we must change money in a bank or in a exchange-office. It is also good to know some foreign language.

In our country there is lot of travel agencies and we can arrange various kinds of holidays or trips – cultural holidays to well-known historical places (e.g. Egypt, Roma, Athens) and to see nice architecture monuments, recreation holidays in sea-side resort or various mountains (the Mediterranean, the Alps etc.) or to stay with sports and educational programmes.

But we are the Czechs and we ought to have to know our republic. Because as well as in Italy or Greece we can swim in lakes, ponds and rivers mainly in south Bohemia, we can see famous monuments in the Czech, Moravian or Slovak towns and we can also meet new friends.
