Oberammergau (2)

Left out some happenings on this day. We arrived in the village and Natalie Ros and Graeme wandered off from the group because we recognised we had limited time and were later than we had wanted to be. We found the Evangelical church (Lutheran) that had advertised that it has services and as Graeme was talking to someone (who turned out to be the Associate Bishop of Exter) who was with an English tour group, Natalie spoke to a Lutheran person who said that there was an English Service with Communion starting at 11am and that it would be OK for us to participate. So we did and it was led by this rather switched on Bishop (who actually was Scottish!) So not having been in church for worship (we had been almost in a church everyday of our touring!!!) it was good to participate in a Communion Service before heading off to do anything else. SO we set to our exploring, headed up to the hotel for lunch (in the rain) and then back to join the thousands in the Playhouse
