Thinking ahead to 2020 and my perfect holiday.

800 days from today till the opening of the 2020 Wagner Festival in Bayreuth.

From there to Oberammergau for the Passion Play.

Then to Zermat for a few days, on the gondola and up the Matterhorn to at least the Hörnli Hut. I am pretty fit, but not an experienced climber. I would not make it to the summit.

Then to Lourdes, from there to St Jean Pied de Port and the Camino, with a few days in Santiago de Compostela before heading home.

It is doable, I think, and with cheap hotels and train travel, and walkng the Camino, would not be too expensive.

Can anyone who has done any of these things offer any advice?
