Oktoberfest yeahhhh!!! It's safe to say I was a little excited to head to Munich for Oktoberfest, an event I've wanted to attend for quite some time. Everyone I've ever spoken with that's been before has only said great things, so expectations were high.
With Friday off work, I got myself packed and met Nikki to catch our bus to the airport. Here we go!!!
 |
| The anticipation! |
To save a bit of money as well as taking the opportunity to see a little more of Germany we chose to fly into the quaint town of Nuremberg, rather than direct to Munich. After we arrived and got Gianni kitted out with a last minute lederhosen, we stopped by the markets for a bit of German Sausage and made the mad dash to catch our coach to Munich.

We needn't have rushed, due to a football game playing in the area traffic was a nightmare and our coach arrived over an hour behind schedule. Nevertheless we made it to Munich by around 11pm.
Satisfied with our cute little airbnb we discussed shower schedules and timings for the morning - our first day at the festival. We were told to pick a tent and line up early as it can be difficult to get a table.
For some reason in a group of 4 girls I was the only one who knew how to braid hair so I was up from 5.30 doing my own and others hair, I offered to do something with Gianni's hair but he wasn't up for it. You can't go to Oktoberfest without your hair braided!!

Day one we spent at the Lowenbrau tent, theres not a lot to say about the day - the pictures pretty much cover it. Beers beers beers.

| Day 1 crew!! |

| Gianni didn't like me pointing out the raindeer on his shirt, hence the giggles - it's festive!! |

| Having a lol with cous! |
Day two we allowed ourselves a little sleep in, hopeful that everyone would be a little dusty from the day before and also be arriving later. We were lucky and snagged a table quite easily, the biggest challenge of the day complete we were free to have fun.
Again here's our day in photo's - more beer, beer, beer.

| Having a sing-a-long! |
It's safe to say the festival was a lot of fun, we met a lot of people, ate a lot of delicious pork, drank way too little water (did you know thats frowned upon at the festival?) and of course got a little merry.
Monday morning, surprisingly hangover free we walked to a nearby breakfast place for a way too heavy breakfast. The scenery on the way home made up for it though.

| Pretty pathways |
I think we all would've loved one more day at the festival but London and the real world was calling, so it was time to head home. A great weekend, great friends, great beer and great memories.
Where to next?? xo
