Спереводом speed and comfort. people, travelling long distances, frequently have to decide whether they would prefer to go by land, sea or air. hardly anyone can positively enjoy sitting in a train for more than a few hours. train compartments soon get cramped and stuffy. it is almost impossible to take your mind off the journey. reading is only a partial solution, for the monotonous rhythm the wheels clicking on the rails soon lulls you to sleep. during the day, sleep comes in snatches. at night, when you really wish to go to sleep, you rarely manage to do so. inevitably you arrive at your destination almost exhausted. long car journeys are even less pleasant, for it is quite impossible even to read. on motorways you can, at least, travel fairly safely at high speeds, but more often than not, the greater part of the journey is spent on narrow, bumpy roads, which are crowded with traffic. by comparison, trips by sea offer a great variety of civilised comforts. you can stretch your legs on the spacious decks, play games, swim, meet interesting people and enjoy good food-always assuming, of course, that the sea is calm. if it is not, and you are likely to get seasick, no form of transport could be worse. even if you travel in ideal weather, sea journeys take a long time. relatively few people are prepared to sacrifice up to a third of their holidays for the pleasure of travelling on a ship. airplanes have the reputation of being dangerous and even hardened travellers are intimidated by them. they also have the grave disadvantage of being the most expensive form of transport. but nothing can match them for speed and comfort. travelling at a height of 30,000 feet, far above the clouds, and at over 500 miles an hour is an exhilarating experience. you do not have to devise ways of taking your mind off the journey, for an airplane gets you to your destination rapidly.
