When they arrived back in Torun, the group attended a reception with Torun’s President, they were interviewed by Polish national television, were presented with t-shirts and gingerbread (Toru? is famous for it’s gingerbread or pierniki) and visited the local planetarium.

Group leader Holly reported, “Our new twin town of Torun is a beautiful city and we all hope we will get the opportunity to visit it again.”
