We decided we wanted to see more of the German countryside rather than zoom to Goslar on the autobahn. In order to do this we had to keep setting the GPS for small villages along the way. It was a great choice.
The roads were narrow and very curvy. It seemed like no land was claimed to make straight roads. It just snaked and curved and we passed through small towns and wonderful fields of yellow and there were many solar installations and windmills. At one site i counted 20 windmills .
These are random pictures from the day including our arrival in Goslar.
We are staying here with a couch surfing friend, Alex who has an 8 year old son. Alex was born the year Norbert and I last visited Goslar in 1973.
More tomorrow - It's almost 1 am here.

| oops! That's not a road. Guess we need to turn around. |
 |
| Hartz Mountains in the distance where we are heading. |
 |
| This tunnel was a work of art. |
 |
| Couple of up close pictures of the flowers that turn so many fields yellow. |

| Solar panels - you see then all over Germany |
GOSLAR
a world heritage site
 |
| Goslar was founded in the 10th century and portions of the city walls still stand. The tower in the distance was one of the entrances |
 |
| Note the cobblestone streets. Many still exist. |
 |
| The very narrow streets make driving difficult or impossible in places. |
