A trip into town

Hello there!

I'm not sure about the meaning of the following sentence:

We made a trip into town.

Does it mean 1) that you are in the town already and that you went around it; or does it mean 2) that you went to the town, coming from somewhere else - let's say: another town?

Thank you.

  • Or you could be on a camping trip and need batteries for your lantern and a pack of Slim Jims, in which case any town will do.
