Within 44 hours, my friends and I flew to and from Munich, Germany and experienced the festivities of Oktoberfest!!!!
We were a little worried that we would not get into the beer tents as most people make their reservations 11 months ahead of time. However, we learned that if you are willing and able to drink at 10 am - you are all good!
Saturday morning drank at Paulaner Tent, then took a nap and went out in downtown Munich for dinner. Sunday morning drank at Hofbrau Tent until around 2pm.
Oktoberfest is much more than 15 beer tents which can hold about 6, 000 people - imagine 6,000 people all drinking 1 litre steins of beer, eating chicken, ribs, bratwursts, singing and smoking - kind of like a fraternity party!!!! And outside the tents, it's a huge fair with rides, food, games, souvenir stands, etc. And for the most part everyone is wearing the traditional German clothes!
What an experience! Ein prosit, Ein prosit.....
