Day 79 POLAND Torun

We had an interesting breakfast called egg drop sandwich, which is fried bread with scrambled eggs, onion chutney and chimichurri sauce.

We were going to catch an uber to the train station but got the tram instead.
Our hayfever has been so bad despite dosing up on antihistamines that we welcomed the rain today. It might have been inconvenient as we were catching trams and train Poznan to Torun but we managed.

Ruby realised that with our car, we needed a carpark so we stayed just outside the Old Town which meant that they were more modern fitted with lifts. Now we are without a car we tend to choose accommodations closer to the Old Town which means that it's much older hence the absence of lifts. In Torun, we are staying in an old 13 th century tower with stairs up 3 floors. Just arrived in Torun. Had to lug luggage up 3 floors of a narrow spiral stairs. Then went to buy water and it was upstairs of the tiny supermarket. At dinner, our table was booked..... upstairs.
Whatever doesn't kill us will make us stronger.

We were sat upstairs of the Restaurant Pernicova because we requested to be sat where we could watch the chef as he had an open kitchen. The restaurant building was a mill and mortuary once upon a time. The restaurant is a Michelin bib Polish restaurant. Outstanding taste and use of traditional Polish recipe with his slight creative variation. The chef was very friendly and came out of the kitchen several times to speak with us. We couldn't decide what to have and wanted everything on the menu. So we booked to return tomorrow to try the things we missed today.
We had bread which had gingerbread spices, tuna tataki, herring with apple and potatoes, prawns in a seafood reduction and lastly cold beetroot soup with mash potato, cucumber sorbet and egg. We finished the meal with a chocolate cherry fondant.
