Und dales und vales - Munich Part 2

Day 2 was straight to Oktoberfest to get a table.  We didn't book in advance and I was worried we wouldn't get a seat in the "tent" we wanted to be in, so I met B and M at 8:00 to join the queue, which was a good idea because it got pretty long before opening at 9.

We got a great seat and started taking pictures.  I'm not one for interior decor, but this place was incredibly well done.  It didn't feel like a beer hall, it felt like decorations you would do for a wedding reception.

Maybe it's just the colours that I love.  What an amazing design.

The tent had a spit, spinning with what we first thought was a pig, but then later learned it was an ox.

M had his first beer (representing the Aggies!):

Two lovely ladies posed for their first fest photo:

And two love birds (and M in heaven) shared some love:

Bands were coming all afternoon with funny hats and uniforms:

And there was a polka band playing for most of the time as well:

With everyone dressed in their traditional German garb:

I could only hold 3 litres before I felt it and felt it hard.  Luckily, you could stay as long as you wanted, so it was three over about 8 hours.  The atmosphere was amazing.

Video evidence to prove you should be jealous...

Part 3 coming!
