During the weekend I traveled by air the first time in my life. I generally travel by train and by bus. It is both cheaper and safe. But this was a short journey. In the beginning I did not feel very happily, but this feeling did not last longer. The journey was very exciting. I was soon high up in the sky among the cloud. The views of mountains, fields and rivers were interested. I enjoy my short and comfortable journey very much. This experience has shown that traveling in air is actually the safest way of make journeys.
