tour 04

as already planned in 2007 we started our fourth tour through
brusseles. this time - according to the guide - the "european
side" of the town had to be explored. first stop was the old
railway station "gare du luxembourg", or, to be more precise, the
front of the building, as the rest was knocked down to make way
for some EU-buildings. and that's exactly what you get in this
district: huge new skyscrapers like the EU parliament and the
building that houses the council of europe. fortunately there
are loads of parks too, so it's not only concrete and glas, but
also some green spots here and there. additionally there are
really very run down houses too in this area, so that's a really
weird mix you get there. on the way to "parc du cinquantenaire"
one passes very old art nouveau houses, which really look cool.

 

 

in the huge park there's also the military museum and the museum
for art and history, which both were closed today. additionally
there were huge old buildings (monuments) there, which we didn't
know what they were for, but they very as impressive as big. one
of them reminded me of the brandenburger tor in berlin somehow.

 

 

after that we passed another EU-building and drove home, as the
weather was not that good today and thus the buildings and parks
were not that impressive but rather dull and drag. besides that
we were pretty tired from our past tours, so we went home and
enjoyed again some tv series and movies in original versions
(some english, some french, like an original version of a louise
de funes film, which we both enjoyed pretty much). no plans are
yet made for tomorrow. i guess we will go shopping and have a
relaxing day in bruxelles.
