Bruxelles a respiré sans voiture

Brussels breathed without cars, yesterday. And it seemed like everyone who normally would be home on Sunday went downtown by bike and by (free) Metro and public transportation, to prove a point.

Our first hint of how crowded it was going to be was arriving at Kraainem train station, and there were more cars parked then there are on a Monday morning. It was fun, we took my brother and his wife into the city and we wandered around, buying gifts, and enjoying it.

Try it - a day without cars.
