WOLFENBÜTTEL AND GOSLAR
Another full day. We left early in our Opel rental car, unable to make the GPS work, but using the GPS on my phone, which worked just as well. The car computer still gave us the changes in speed limits, often every three hundred yards in little towns, which helped a great deal.
Wolfenbüttel is a fachwerk town but the section we visited was a little seedy. There was a huge castle that we didn’t visit and hoards of school children chattering as they moved in large groups on school outings. So we decided to look at Goslar, which was another thirty miles down the road, and it was marvelous with fachwerk buildings and interesting stores and restaurants. We shopped in one store with beautiful small things and ate goulasch soup as we sat in the sun at an oldfashioned Gasthaus. And then we drove home through the Hartz mountains, actually rolling hills.
In the evening we went to Elke and Heinrich’s house for bread and cheese and wurst with tea. It was a good day.
