Dzien bez samochodu! *** Day without car!

Dzisiaj Bruksela zamknela ulice dla samochodow - totalnie i calkowicie. Tylko autobusy i tramwaje kursowaly a poza tym rowery, rowery, rowery...! Czasem konie, czasem inne nie-motorowe pojazdy albo po prostu wlasne nogi. Wszyscy, wlacznie ze mna, z wielka radocha jezdzili po najwiekszych i najszerszych arteriach stolicy Europy zwykle zapchanych samochodami a belgijska pogoda tym razem nie zawiodla. Najpiekniejszy moment przydarzyl mi sie rano - kiedy wyszlam na balkon CISZA az mnie porazila...! I tak az do 19.00 - cos niesamowitego. Pomruki, szumy, odglosy i halasy wielkiego miasta usnely na jeden dzien a ich miejsce zajela sielankowa atmosfera rodem ze wsi. Polecam innym miastom - jak widac MOZNA!

Today Brussels closed roads and streets for cars - totally! Only buses and trams were permitted to go and a lot of bikes, bikes, bikes and other non-motor devices, own legs included. All people, including me, had a lot of fun riding the biggest and the broadest streets usually filled with cars and Belgian weather did not let us down:) The most beautiful moment that I experienced today happened when I went to our balcony and the SILENCE almost "killed" me...! And it lasted until 19.00 - something really extraordinary! Murmurs, hums, voices and noises went to sleep for one day and their place was taken by idyllic ambiance straight from the countryside. Worth advising to other cities - IT IS POSSIBLE!

It is possible indeed and certainly possible once a week. Let's wait several years and the end of oil, see how we'll react. Recommencer à vivre, sereinement, une ville chahutée par le seul bruits des sonnettes et le sourire de ses habitants. Dziekuje
