The medieval city of Toruń lay north of Poznań on the road to Gdansk. The town was a tourist destination because many of its ancient buildings had survived German bombing during World War II.
Our campsite was a twenty minute walk from the city centre, crossing the River Vistula via a huge iron bridge. The weather was good with warm sunny days – warm enough to sit outside enjoying the sunshine. At night the temperature dropped to 5°.
We walked into town in the late afternoons and ate at restaurants on the main square. The first night we ate soup and savoury pancakes with a beer which cost £12 for the two of us. The next night we went to a fish restaurant and had lovely fresh fish and a bottle of wine – two courses each, total cost £40 (£20 for the imported wine).
