Monday was supposed to be a chill day to rest our heads, get some sleep and take the dogs for a deserved walk. Well, it didn't go as planned. Go with a flow could totally be our motto today. It was raining, but, they say there's no bad weather, just bad clothing. Packed and off to finding the closest tram.
Ponedeljek je bil prvotno namenjen počitku, nabiranju moči in dolgo zasluženem pasjem sprehodu. Ko vedno tudi tokrat ni šlo vse po planu. ''Go with the flow'' bi prav zagotovo lahko bil najin današnji slogan. ''Ni slabega vremena, so samo slaba oblačila'', zato sva kljub dežju vzeli pod pod noge in se odpravili na ulice Bruslja, v iskanju najbližjega tramvaja.
We never checked out if dogs were allowed on any public transports in Brussels but gave it a try.
Now we can asure you, dogs are allowed on tram, bus and metro! A kind driver told us, they should wear a muzzle but only because of the police. If it was for him, he wouldn't bother. :)
V nadaljevanju jutranjega slogana seveda nisva preverili če so psi sploh dovoljeni na bruseljskih javnih prevozih, tako da sva preprosto preizkusili najino srečo. Sedaj lahko z gotovostjo rečeva, da so psi tam več kot dobrodošli na tramvaju, mestnem avtobusu in metroju. Prijazni voznik nama je razložil, da morajo psi načeloma imeti nagobčnik a le zaradi policijske kontrole. Kar se tiče njega, tudi če ga ne bi imeli. :)
If you are looking for an english speaking person you should try checking on bus/tram drivers. And besides, they're super nice and give good tips and advices for lost and confused tourists, hihi!
Torej, če v Bruslju iščete nekoga, ki govori angleško, poizkusite pri voznikih avtobusov/ tramvajev. Poleg tega so še super prijazni in imajo na zalogi kar nekaj uporabnih nasvetov za izgubljene bruseljske turiste, hihi!
In spite of a fact that Brussels itself is not a very clean city, we were positively surprised about tidiness of both trams and buses.
Kljub temu, da Bruselj ni eno izmed najbolj čistih mest, pa sva bili prijetno presenečeni nad čistočo in urejenostjo javnih prevoznih sredstev.
The only problem we faced today was that nothing was in English, so when we got lost, we had a hard time getting back or understand why at one point everyone had to go off the bus and wait for the next one to come which made our 'driving in circles' bus trip even more confusing. Also all the instructions for public transport on stations were only in French and Flemish. Yaaaay.
Edini problem, na katerega sva naleteli tekom dneva je bil ta, da na avtobusih nič ni bilo napisano v angleščini. Kar je najino izgubljanje po mestu le še otežilo. Na neki točki smo tako iz nama neznanega razloga morali zapustiti avtobus in počakati na novega. To je najino izgubljanje in vožnjo v krogih naredilo še bolj zmedeno. Prav tako so bila čisto vsa navodila na postajah v francoščini in flamščini. Yaaaay.
And since we are here we just could't miss the famous Waffles from Brussels. :) Like always they were delicious. 😋
Glede na to, da sva kjer sva, si seveda nisva smeli dovoliti, da se ne bi ustavili še na znamenitih bruseljskih vafljev. Kot vedno so bili odlični. 😋
In the afternoon we were supposed to meet up with Ms. Bulc infront of European Parlament, but we got so terribly lost with buses. In the end we were picked up by her and got to enjoy some luxus of being an important person with a personal driver. *wink wink*
Popoldne pa sva bili zmenjeni z Ga. Bulc pred Evropskim parlamentom a sva se na poti tako izgubili z avtobusi, da naju je bila na koncu primorana pobrati nekje v mestu. Sva pa vsaj doživeli malo razvajanja v stilu pomembnežev in izkusili kako je imeti osebnega voznika. *wink wink*
We also had a pleasure to meet Jane Collins who is a member of European parlament. She is fighting against animal exporting in abusive ways. What a day!
Prav tako sva imeli priložnost spoznati članico Evropskega parlamenta, Jane Collins, ki se zavzema za preprečitev nasilnega izvoza živali. Kakšen dan!
Brussels is definitely an easy place to get lost, especially if you come from a tiny city like our Ljubljana.
Bruselj je vsekakor mesto, kjer se prebivalec majhnega mesta kot je Ljubljana, zelo hitro izgubi.
