For a completely different change of pace, but no less German than the Romantische Strasse, we decided to tour Volkswagen's factory/themepark. It was fairly interesting, as car themeparks go, with some quite unique displays, simulators, and the factory tour itself. Apparently Volkswagen is having a hard time KEEPING UP WITH DEMAND and has workers working overtime... the normally 5-day-per-week factory is working 7 days/week for the next 3 months. I guess they make products that people actually want to buy.
From Wolfsburg we took the short (but 3-train!) hop to Goslar. Goslar is where's Liz's father was born, and lived until he was 13, and also happens to be where her parents were married. So, an important stop for sure - as well, Goslar is a big tourist town nestled at the foot of the Harz Mountains with lots to do... an added bonus. Tomorrow we will check out the town.
