Off we set armed with bits of paper in English with bus and tram numbers on how to get into the historic old town centre. We cobbled together the zlotys in change needed and found the right bus stop and bus. It was lucky that the bendy bus was new with disabled facilities so we could get Doreen on easily. However when we got off the bus it was not quite so easy. We asked a local the way to the centre and were directed via a subway underpass across the main road. There were steps and what what appeared to be a step ramp for wheels. It was a challenge to get the wheelchair down and even more of a challenge to get it back up the other side. Even a small local boy had his hands over his mouth in shock waiting for a disaster.
We finally navigated our way into the the old town square.
The buildings eere beautiful and the place was full of music traditional dancers and local handicraft stalls.
Chuck and Doreen had great fun shopping for bargains after lunch. We searched for a birthday present and looked at the local trinkets. It was really too hot at 33 degrees to wander around the town and when we met up again it was straight back to the bus stop.
The stop was just outside the local supermarket and a bottle of local gin was bought. Just to test it of course for quality. With a slice of lemon and two bottles of tonic later the tester bottle was given the McKelvie seal of approval, empty. Must buy more!
