After some trainspotting at Cologne Station….

Overcast day. Took train from Cologne to Hannover then coach to Werigerode with a stop over in Goslar, where all today’s pictures are taken.

And some fine vintage buses….

Next day….

A mid morning start to our trip up the Brocken so took opportunity for walk round Wernigerode before it got busy.

And so to the Brockenbahn….

Spectacular views from the Brocken.  As Allan commented:

You certainly had the right day to go up the Brocken.  Never seen it so clear.
