In the morning it was raining steadily. One aim today was to take care of two chores: find a laundromat (wasch salon) and do our laundry, and find an ATM (geldautomat) and get some money. The second was to explore Goslar, which seems a very nice town.
OK, two out of three…
After breakfast we put up our umbrellas and walked the 8 or 10 blocks from the hotel to the Marktplatz where the Tourist Info office is. The Goslar Markt is a particularly attractive space, surrounded by interesting buildings and surfaced with a pretty pattern of cobblestones. Even in a chilly rain it looks nice.
Hopefully we will later get some pictures here in nicer weather. At this 500-year-old hotel on the other side, we had a very fine dinner tonight.

With the help of the tourist info and later, our hotel clerk, we got money and found a laundry and got our load done. We are stocked with underwear and shirts for another week, yay! But in the chilly, steady rain we just didn't feel like admiring churches and local museums. So we holed up on the hotel room and passed a quiet afternoon. We found we could get a usable wi-fi signal—if we worked on the windowsill in the bathroom.
It's a little more convenient than going down to the lobby.
Tomorrow, rain or shine, we go sight-seeing in the Harz mountains.
