After a very disappointing start to spring (I was still wearing gloves until a few days ago) we've finally had a lovely sunny weekend here in Torun. Today I went to Golub-Dobrzyn; a small town only an hour away by bus, to visit the 14th century castle and enjoy a walk round in the sunshine. The castle's quite small, but we had a good wander round and there's a really nice but a bit too expensive restaurant inside. From the castle there's an excellent view of the town, or towns if you like. Golub-Dobrzyn used to be two towns divided by the Drweca river. Golub was owned by the German's until 1920 and Dobrzyn was Russian until 1918, they became one town in 1951 but the divide is still pretty apparent from the top of the hill. The Golub side looks much prettier and well looked after whereas Dobrzyn was kind of a mess in comparison. The square was a very normal, pretty Polish town square, and there were lots of people out enjoying the sun.
It's nice to get out of Torun and see somewhere new, and me and Sarah have been well entertained by Damian's jokes today. After a good walk round it's back home for some kotlet schabowy, another traditional dish I can add to the growing list of things I can cook. Smacznego!
