Oktoberfest


A couple weekends ago, the first weekend in Oktober, Katy and I drove to Munich for the last weekend of Oktoberfest. AS you can imagine we drove around and around trying to find a parking space. But once we found one it was great.
The day we were there was the second to last day of the fest. Even though it was Sunday it seemed like everybody and their brother was there. This year we took a ride on the ferris wheel they have there. Once you got to the top you could see all the people and it was ridiculous how crowded it was. When you walked around at pretty much no time was there ever a lot of space around you. It seemed as only a few feet seperated you and other people.
After taking our Ferris wheel ride and of course getting an authentic bratwurst we headed into one of the tents - the Lowenbrau tent.
The first tent we tried to go into told we couldnt go in because our camera was too big.....what? There were lots of people with a camera our size. Oh well. The tent we ended up going to - the Lowenbrau tent - was awesome (and it was the first year that it was no smoking in the tent - an even bigger plus). The first table we sat at only allowed us to stay for one drink and then we had to leave because somebody had reserved it. So we moved. The second table we found was great. There was a guy from Switzerland and a family from Munich and we had a good time together singing and dancing on the benches. The famly from Munich even invited us to another tent the next day where they had a table reserved. Unfortunatley we couldnt as we had to get to Wels for work. Who knows maybe we'll see them next year. We had such a good time we ended up stayiing a little later than we wanted to, but it was great.
We had a good time when we were there last year but think this year was even better!
