Travelling
In the case that we decided to travel, we have to know destination. Even a longer walk, a visit with relatives in the next village or
a bicykle ride can be thought as a travelling. 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.
Another possibility for our travelling is
to go by car. Almost every family today owns a car. Travelling by car is convenient because the car can take us quickly to wherever we want to go at
the moment. Another popular means of transportation is the bus. Travelling by bus may sometimes be a little uncomfortable, but the situation is
gradually improving. Buses are usually equipded with better seats, dark glass against the sun, air-conditioning, television and radio and often with
toilet as well.
We can get around the city also by streetcars, trolleybus and in Prague also by subway. In this case, however, it’s not
really a question of travelling. But we can’t mention the transportation by train, that‘s not too reliable in our country. When we want to get to
a distant country or to a different continent, we can travel by car, bus, ship or airplane. The most attractive option is usually to travel by ship
and airplane. Airplanes can take us to our destination in a relatively short period of time.
When we want to travel abroad, we have to
have a valid passport and a n international health insurance card. For the time of our vacations we may live in a boarding house or a hotel. Of this
things (transport, accomodation and boarding) usually take care the travel agencies.
After our arrival at the hotel we can have our
baggage brought into the hall. We inform the receptionist of our arrival and then we get a key with our room number. A porter has to bring our luggage
to our room. If our room is on one of the higher floors, we can take the stairs or use the elevator. Our room’s furnishings depend on the category
of hotel we’re staying at. It can be a single room, a double or have even more than two beds. Close to the bed is there is usually a telephone to
reception, in case we need something.
There is also a restaurant at the hotel where we have our breakfast, lunch and dinner. Playground or
sporting facility is designed for guests who like sports. Staying at the hotel is certainly very comfortable but it’s rightly said that there’s no
place like home. Everybody likes sleeping in his own bed best of all.
