Today we'll journey into the Bavarian Alps to Oberammergau. Relax, maybe sit down for a bite to eat or visit the village museum, which chronicles the development of the Passion Play since its first performance in 1634.In the early afternoon, you'll take your seat as the story of Christ's Passion unfolds on the vast open-air stage. The unfolding drama, of scenes from the Old and New Testaments, takes place over five hours and two acts. Over 1500 villagers are involved in the production, acting, singing or playing in the orchestra, and the production values are astounding. The acoustics of the auditorium are so carefully engineered that music and dialogue carry to even the furthest seats, despite the fact that no microphones are used.After the first act there will be an early evening interval during which you'll have time to stretch your legs and enjoy an included dinner at a local restaurant, and at the end of the performance, and after a unique and unforgettable day, you'll head to a local guesthouse allocated by the Passion Play organisers.

The second leg of your holiday begins today as we head south, and cross the Brenner Pass into Italy. Along the way we'll stop in Innsbruck. See the famous copper-tiled 'Golden Roof' built for Emperor Maximillian I at the start of the 16th Century, stroll along elegant Maria-Theresien-Strasse or simply indulge in a little people-watching over coffee and cake, before we continue into the Dolomites for a stop in one of the delightful villages that nestle in the high mountain passes.We'll arrive at Lake Garda in the late afternoon, and you'll have time to check in to your hotel and relax before dinner.

Stroll by the lake then watch the world go by from a cafe over a long lunch, discover your resort's shops and boutiques or simply relax in the comfort of your hotel.

Today's coach tour is the perfect way to take in the exceptional scenery that surrounds the lake. Visit some of the charming lakeside resorts and discover the distinctive character of each section of the shoreline - from the mountains of the northern shore to the citrus and olive groves of the west and the fjord-like east.

Spend another relaxing day enjoying Lake Garda, your hotel and the surrounding area.
