Never-ending autumn and our hiking adventure.

Hai to all of you!!  I hope this blog post works all right...my laptop is broken so I started writing this on my phone. This was very small on my screen, and I could not see the spaces in between words.  Now I managed to borrow someone's netbook, which is also very small and cute and is doing the job well.  Let's see, what shall come shall come!  Today I will do a little bit of the rest of the end of autumn all the way to the winter that we find ourselves in right now.  It is winter isn't it?

- 24. of October some more bright colours from autumn.

- 27th of October, nice silhouettes in the Britzer Garten.

- 27th of October, a bed of spiky leaves in the Britzer Garten.

- 21st of November, weekend trip to Goslar in the Harzgebirge to hike.  Getting out of the city is always good for the soul.  And with "hex" weekend train ticket deals it is totally affordable for more than one person.

- We found a nice path after climbing up the side of what I would call a cliff.

- Accidentally falling from here would be a wild and "twig-gy" experience.

- More trees!  I like these trees!

- It is very important to have a map of where you are...even if you end up not being in the place that you think you are. 

- 22nd of November, the morning of our second hiking day we opened the curtains and looked out of our guesthouse window...and it was SNOWING!!  After a large breakfast the ground quickly transformed from greys and browns...

- To black and white...

- Just like the sky went from grey...

- To blue!

- This is a beautiful view of Goslar as the sky was clearing up from the clouds!

- We ended up walking in a winter wonderland!

- I realised quickly, after hiking in the snow, how important it is to wear appropriate footwear.  Hiking in the snow in wellies was definitely an experience that I don't want to repeat...my poor toes were very cold!

- Here, on our way back into Goslar town to grab some Gluehwein to warm us up...and to catch our train back to Berlin.

Thanks for looking at all the pictures of our little adventure to the "Hexenwald"!  I definitely recommend going if you have the chance!  Hope you are all having a nice winter...maybe it's actually cold and crisp where you are.  It is weirdly warm in Berlin, which makes it not feel very wintery at all.  Nevertheless I wish you all a super duper, very merry Christmas.  Enjoy it and see you soon!
