Oberammergau June 2010

A group of 22 of us travelled to Imst in Austria on 22 June and joined up with another group from a Bristol church. We enjoyed the local area and then on Friday 25 June we went to the village of Oberammergau in Germany to experience the wonderful passion play which has been performed by members of the village every 10 years since 1633.
