OBJECTIVE: Guided
Approximate cost: PLN 300
Summer trip to the Belgian capital could be called one of the nicest and one of the most strenuous in my " career ')
all began with the arrival at the airport in Wroclaw (Poznan, unfortunately does not have many cheap) where we (Chris, Craviec, Banana and Me) on a flight to Brussels Charleroi airport. The flight was a night on board the Boeing 737-800 Ryanair - sitting on the right side we beautiful view in the center of Brussels! Number of lights is breathtaking;)
Upon arrival we had to very quickly go to the bus stop where one of the last bus of the day takes us to the center of Charleroi, to the railway station where we will go by train to the capital already. Initially, we could not with other tourists to find the platform where you can catch our train. When we found him we could not turn sadly come to the center until about 5 minutes before its departure (though parking at the station.)
Thanks to the whole journey was at the weekend (actually, Sunday-Monday), we managed to get a big discount on access to the center. After about a hour and a half ride we were in Brussels. The station is at the heart of the city, so the most important objects are relatively close.
first point of the trip was the cathedral. Michael and Gudula - beautifully illuminated at this time. We did took pictures and went on the market, much like me that what is in Poznan! An interesting object is the impressive City Hall - is a huge built in style. Near this is of course the famous Manneken Pis. Here is disappoint, that figure is ... small! Well, the pictures lie;) In close neighborhood was full of all-night restaurant, very impressively indeed illuminated, as well as various nations.
then decided to go walking at the Atomium in the district of Laeken, which is ... 10km away from us! And so in the middle of the night with the help of Brussels GPSa half gone - then so caught up with us. "Crisis fatigue" - falls for me, usually about 3 - 4 in the night ... At this time, unfortunately, can not go the top admire the panorama of the city. This migration gave us a deeper view, however, the city, which is one of the domains ... weight of garbage in bags powykładanych by residential houses. Even the closest city is teeming with these bags. The next point. trips, longer when it got brighter Zaventem airport was supposed to be where we wanted to shoot planes.
advantage of the occasion of the nearby subway wanted to get him to the city center. It would be nice if it was not that we had a fine not biletomat takes notes ... We went to the gas station to change some notes, however, has proven to be closed ... Finally, passing familiar with the Heysel stadium tragedy, we came to the bakery where he bought the bread, we managed to get some change and somehow we got to the center.
quickly crossing the railway station (on the subway met Poles emerged as the stereotypical image of when they entered the first words out of their mouths is "chicken% $" - in addition to consume Polish beer - Spe) and ride on the city's main airport. We had a map with numbered reserved seats spotterskimi so in a fairly short period of time find Seat the runway threshold, where we could see taking off the machine. And these were very interesting, you may have seen the most interesting m.in Jet Airways, American Airlines, Delta, Continental, El Al i.. LOT:)
Pobyliśmy there for about three hours and by the fact that we had to chase our time begin to accumulate again to the center, and then to another airport, this time from which it had an outlet - Charleroi, touching quickly on Pizza Hut. Eventually we got there after the deaths of about 3.5 h. ..
Next it's routine security and boarding boarding our Boeing. After an hour of landing in Wroclaw and the worst part of the trip is three hours' drive to the station house, the Trzemeszno ... Despite the fatigue decisively - WAS WORTH!
