Today and tomorrow I'm in Brussels, a two-day workshop devoted individuals. The second time in my life I visit this city, but all in all I will not specifically visited, because I'll be back soon, and besides, as you know - the city usually bore me.
Although I must admit that the buildings around the main square and impressed me ... kind of buildings such as buildings, but the Gothic town hall is really nice. Illuminated like toys in the office at night, more modern part of town too cool.
But I did not total it.
walk around town and watching the mighty buildings once I do not know which made me wonder how I have overcome the distance to the mountain excursions. In the sense: for example, how many blocks translates into a shift from the Pass Kasprowy Świnicką, or how much would Kościelec near the Palace of Culture.
Well this time I decided to check, at least in the context of the distance. Take for example Chochołowska Valley - never liked especially because the boring, dreary and drag on like wildfire. I like to walk through the valley translates to a distance of "urban"? So it is roughly 8km, namely:
- In Geneva, for example, corresponds to the output from CERN (gate B) and Meyrin spacerowaniu straight through to the bridge of Mt Blanc ...
- Or if you prefer the other way - to the ski lift in Crozet (well, it will be more 8.5 km)
- In Warsaw - you have to follow the example of Metro Golf Mokotowskie avenues up to the Metro Marymont, and even a little further . Piece, is not it?
with Kasprowy Świnica is the 2.4 km-flight bird - or as much as the Royal Castle Hotel Mariott (a flight bird).
little more is the Refuge du Gouter on Mt Blanc - in the range of 3.5 km ... (Vertical or the 1000m) ... but it goes like wildfire ... geometrically it is as if the inlet Strazyska Valley go in a straight line Giewont.
