Bad Harzburg

Today we headed off to Harz for some winter snowy mountain fun for my birthday! We are staying in Bad Harzburg (we came down here last year for New Years winter adventures!) and are staying just up the hill from where we did last time so we have a view of the mountains!

Last weekend it snowed in Berlin and it hasn’t been above freezing since then so the snow is still there, but the side roads and parking lots are just sheets of ice! Getting out of Berlin (and running my errands with the car before wet left) was a bit tricky and we almost slid into some barriers trying to turn on a side street…and I wasn’t even going fast! Under 15, but I guess whatever I was going was still too fast. We drove through more snow and some lanes covered on the freeway, so it was slow going coming down, but not too bad. People were driving crazy though and not following the speed limits which is odd as normally most cars do.

It’s supposed to snow tomorrow and Saturday so I am excited! All the winter fun!Read more
