January
2005 tour of Germany
|
updated 2 February 2005 |
Every year we do a German tour in January. It's a terrific country to work in because the tours are always well arranged, the concerts are uniformly well organised and travelling around is a piece of cake. About the only downside is that it is invariably cold. Mind you, after the trip to Austria last month we're starting to get used to it! Here are a few pictures that we've taken along the way... |

Bamberg is an

300 years. |
