This whole process started back in 1990 when we decided that we would love to experience the Passion Play in Oberamagau. It was realised this only happened every 10 years so would need to be enjoyed after the kids had finished school and possibly left home, maybe.

We had previously tripped around Europe and England for our honeymoon back in 1979. During the interveaning years we both visited England, Scotland & Ireland with Andrew, Sally & Tom or individually to visit family and friends. Most trips were by ourselves as someone had to care for the kids and depending on the reason for travel. Whilst still in the southern hemisphere, we also did a bus trip in 2000 to central Australia to show Jeff, Andrew & Sal where they belonged and also visited the 7th Sate over the Tasman Sea (New Zealand).

We locked in the 7th of September 2010 to see the Passion Play with our friends, Ian and Luba. We arrived at the hotel in Garmisch Parten-kirchen on the night before the play and enjoyed dinner, accommodation and breakfast before heading off to Oberamagau, a short distance away by bus. We took the opportunity to check out the town and its close neighbour, Unteramagau before the show.

We had lunch and then show started at 14:30 and ran for 3 hours, at which point we all went off to our alloted restaurants for an evening meal before returning to the 2nd half of the play. The play finished about 22:30 and we are then transported back to our hotel for the night. After breakfast and checkout we headed on our way to Stadtkyll where we  spent the next week checking out the local countryside. From here, it was off to Denmark, London, France, Ireland, Wales, Leeds and finally a week on a narrow boat on the Greater Union Canal out of Market Harborough.
Then a show in London Piccadilly before going home.[lg_gallery]
