I'm not going spill all the juicy details and stories on my blog so if you guys are still interested in hearing more about my trip to Oktoberfest you'll just have to ask once I get home to Canada. For now, I just have a few things to share...including the fact that going to Oktoberfest 2010 in Munich was probably one of the most memorable experiences of my life!
It was super nice the whole drive to Germany and as soon as we arrived at our super cute hotel in Talhausen (25 min outside Munich because prices were crazy $$ in the city) it started pouring. That didn't da
mpen our moods though as we were determined. I love German food so we had an authentic meal at our hotel and hitched a ride to Freising to the train station in order to get ourselves to Munich for the evening (Fri, Sept 24).
Because it was raining it was easy to find a spot at a beer tent at Oktoberfest. Just meant we had to keep our jackets and hoods up since there was no cover. And so the litres came....just kidding. Only two each, that night.
Woke up crazy early Saturday morning (5am) to be at Oktoberfest in line for a tent at 7:30am. Loved the breakfast of bratwurst on a bun and soooo loved my Chai latte from Starbuc
ks that morning even though I paid almost $7CAN for it. We got into the tent fast enough (luckily) and the beer started flowing at 9am. We were back at our hotel and crashed in bed by 10:30pm and everything that happened in between...those are stories for in person HAHA. No, the rain never let up so that was part of it but 5L of beer in 7 hours or so will also help to do one in.
Sunday morning we got up, not at all hungover due to the 10:30pm bedtime, and made our way back to Switzerland with a quick stop in Munich to see the Olympic Park and the new soccer stadium.
