We wake on our final full day in Poland to a glorious blue sky and cold air. We’re both disappointed that it hasn’t snowed overnight but hey, who can complain about picture postcard moments like these. Our first task for the day is to walk back over to the islands because yesterday we found a…
Lodz has an indoor climbing gym in the Manufaktura complex. It’s only about 2km from our hotel and in the same area a most of the town’s entertainment. Paul doesn’t need to be asked twice: before I know it he’s harnesed up to belay me and I’m on the wall climbing to my heart’s content.…
