cheapest way of spending a holiday. Don't think much about the clothes. Any clothes will do.
9.Mrs. Morris Cardew
1)Hiking seems to be ideal, though hardly is. The 20th century is the time of great emotional stress. Trying to escape from crowds,
from everyday routine people put themselves into the circumstances they are not used to. Strain in itself.
2)In the 20th century a lot of information is required. Even on a holiday you must see many things, must move fast, be able to get to
many places. Hiking, walking can hardly be of any help.
