Oktoberfest 2017

15th September

Warm-Up Afternoon / Evening

Der Pschorr & Hofbräuhaus

Oktoberfest 2017

Return to Short Breaks Menu

Technically a celebration of Richard's 50th that conveniently fell only 6 months before (& after) the Oktoberfest, which was probably why the 'Happy Birthdays' were replaced with:

Ein Prosit, ein Prosit
Der Gemütlichkeit
Ein Prosit, ein Prosit
Der Gemütlichkeit.

With Andy, Jim, Jon, Nick, Paul, Phil, Rich G, Rich C, & Vince finding our beer bearings in Munich...

After a faff at the airport to get the train tickets and a lengthy indirect wander to the hotel; we dumped our luggage and headed to Viktualienmarkt in the early afternoon...

Rich G, Andy, Paul & Jon...

Could be Würst - beer sausage, veal sausage & pork sausage - all sausage bases covered...

Hofbräuhaus

Andy (with his feathers proud & intact), Paul & Nick...

Pretzel, Jim, Vince & Rich C...

Marienplatz & New Town Hall

A early walk of shame home for me as the onslaught of high strength lager took its toll and I retired early (very early), though it was hardly mentioned the next day - much!

Fortunately, at least the beer GPS worked perfectly to get me back to the hotel...
