There are a lot of very nice places in the world, which differ from each other partially very extremely. Some people like a lot of action that they can get in inner cities e.g. Others go in for relaxing in parks, where nothing can be heard aside from the singing of the birds. Furthermore there are perfect places for hiking. Long distances can be covered on idyllic routes by foot or by using a bike. Trips like these are just as popular as mountaineering. Some women or men, who don't like the action in the cities but the thrill of climbing mountains, are not satisfied by sitting on a park bench or walking or riding along a trail. They like dangerous adventures. So nature gives everyone the possibility to spend his life as he wants to. Find you own way to experience the world!
Three years ago I went to London by bus to get some action in this big city, which is the capital of England. I didn't need any location plan or maps to arrive at my destination as I traveled by train. Although I had not to plan any route for reaching the largest city of the European country England, I needed some plans during my stay in London. For orientating me I bought a city map and a plan for the underground that is used by plenty of people each day. So I visited different places in this metropolis by taking the tube. Amongst others I saw the Tower Bridge, the Picadilly Circus, the Westminster Abbey, Madame Tussaud's wax museum and the Changing Of The Guards. Beside the inner city I visited some places outside the centre of London. There the nature looked fascinating with the many different colours of the flowers, the plants, the trees and the grass. After 13 nights in a hotel I left the large British city for going home again.
Another time I traveled to Sweden for rambling. Before I was ready to start my journey I went to a clothes shop that is close to my flat. I bought some shoes that were appropiate to hike with them. Also I bought some weatherproof trousers and a coat for having good premises for my hiking tour. Furthermore I went to another shop, where I found a very pretty hiking stick. After I have done all my necessary shoppings, my journey could begin. I used a plane ticket that I booked before for going to Sweden. When I arrived at the airport of the Scandinavian country, I took a taxi to my accommodation. I spent the nights in a hostel, where other very friendly people were accommodated. In the daytime I marched through the wonderful Swedish nature. I passed nice forests and saw rivers as well as lakes. In summary I was astonished how fascinating the nature of Sweden was. I ended my hiking tour, which lasted ten days, in a very exhausted but happy constitution. I still think sometimes of the time I spent there and see wonderful coloured pictures in my mind.
Lately a friend of mine went on a journey for climbing some really dangerous mountains. As he didn't own a computer he asked me, if I could give him some information material about the area he went to that I can find on the Internet. Moreover he wanted to have printouts of a location plan and a map, which I searched for by the usage of a search engine. I found a route planer, whereby I got the desired results that I saw on my screen. I printed out the plan and the map for my friend and gave them to him as well as the hardcopies of the informative literature. My friend spent 2 weeks in the mountains for climbing. Sometimes he took a day off for relaxing and getting new power for the next efforts. On one day he accomplished a really hard wall so that he was very proud of himself but also very exhausted. So the next morning my friend slept very long and rested in his hotel for the whole day. When he came back home we met us in a pub so that he could tell me about his adventure.
When I was in the municipal park close to the house I am living in last time, I had no desires for being on holiday. I felt very well, when I was sitting on the park bench and listened to the birds. Three children were playing in the meadow, while I noticed their quiet goings. I spend about 2 hours on the bench, before I went home in a very relaxed constitution. Although I like travelling to other locations, I comprehended after this rest in the park round the corner that you don't have to cover long distances for releasing tension and being happy. Otherwise it is, of course, very interesting to see places, where you have never been before in your life. You get new impressions and can become acquainted with people, who don't come from your mother country. So do both! Stay at home sometimes for relaxing and broaden your horizon by travelling to other cities or towns by car, bus, train or plane.
