Bikes!

More from car-free day! Some day, bikes will take over the world. :-)

Car-Free Day

Sunday was a car-free day in Brussels. This meant that the only vehicles allowed to drive within the ring were buses, taxis and various emergency vehicles. Because of this, the entire city was taken over by people, bikes, scooters, Rollerblades and various other types of people-propelled travel. Busy squares were turned into parks and bikes rode down the middle of the road and stopped for traffic lights. Usually, Sunday is a dead day around Brussels. The stores and markets are all closed, and most locals spend the day visiting with family. Most Sundays, the city is incredibly quiet. But not last weekend!

This is the bus that I take multiple times a day, as well as a slightly different form of transport to take down a usually busy street.


More to come!

More Israel

It's been a busy few months from Belgium! I can't believe I've already been here for four months! Unfortunately, the blog hasn't always been at the front of my mind, but over the next few months, I'm going to work on changing that. I really want to share my experiences in Brussels, and the rest of Europe with all of you. So stay tuned!
