On Travelling
People started travelling in the ancient times. The first travellers
were pilgrims, nomads and explorers. Travelling was really dangerous in
those days, but there were always brave and daring people who went on
discovering new lands, in search of wealth and fame.
Nowadays things have changed significantly. Hundreds of companies
are willing to help you if you are planning to go somewhere. You
are free to choose where to go: you may want to spend a vacation in the
mountains or by the sea, and a plane will take you to the place of your
choice in a matter of hours. A lot of people will cater to the needs of the
travellers in hotels and holiday centres all over the world. Visitors are
amused and taken care of in any possible way.
Holidaymaking has become one of the most profitable industries,
and the budget of many countries, such as Turkey, Egypt and Greece
depends on tourism a lot. Travelling has become easier — and maybe
less exciting.

People built Stonehenge with bluestones and sarsen stones. There were about 80 bluestones. They came from mountains 250 kilometers away. They are very heavy – some weigh about 4 metric tons. The sarsen stones are even bigger and heavier. About 4000 years ago, people transported them from 30 kilometers away.
How did people use Stonehenge? Maybe they used it as a cemetery or a place for studying the sun and the stars. Maybe it was also a temple. It's still a special place for some people today. Every year, on June 21st, lots of people go to Stonehenge to celebrate the longest day of the year.
