Today (Sunday 23rd) I got up early to go and meet my North American friends outside this place:
at 8am. We waited for an hour and got in for our first masse at Oktoberfest at about 9. Proost!
While the rest of the day was absolutely fantastic although there is not really anything to write about. You kinda just sit at a table, drink and talk shit. Occasionally there is some singing and or dancing on tables. The atmosphere was unbe-bloody-leivable.
I am so stoked that I had the opportunity to go. I was very jealous of the lederhosen, but I couldn't really justify shelling out the 200 euro for something I could not even fit in my bag. For lunch I had some delicious Ox that someone else couldn't eat. I wasn't even hungry but good god it was good. Possibly only rivaled by the 1/2 chicken I got a bit later. Beer + Food + Great people = my kind of paradise. Here is my happy face:
We left about 4pm and had a wander round. Photos don't really do the event justice but we'll give it a go anyway:
In the evening we went to the Hofbrauhaus for some cheaper masse. At Oktoberfest they were about 9.40 (and you tip up to 10 euro to avoid coinage) and at the pub they were 7.40 or something.
Unfortunately I stayed up until the trains had stopped so I got a big feed of BK and ran home (as you do). Luckily I headed in the right direction and made it home a-ok. Very good day.
