EuroTrip 2009 - Jeff and Justin's visit *Part 2*

We arrived in Munich and relaxed for a while. We were going to save our big day at Oktoberfest for the next day. So the boys decided to head out and see the city and I decided to take a nap since I would be back in Munich with my parents in a couple of weeks. When I woke up a couple hours later I assumed the guys were busy sightseeing - WRONG! They had stopped by Oktoberfest to "check it out and maybe have one beer" but somehow ended up having many more liters than planned. Not a huge shock to anyone who knows them really.

So I got up and joined them for a night at Oktoberfest that ended up being really fun. They had met some girls to hang out with and we also ended up meeting some guys from Zurich. All around, a fantastic and unexpected first night.

The second day we broke out the Oktoberfest costumes we had bought online for the occasion. We spent the day tent-hopping and meeting people from all over. We hung out with a crew of Aussies and Kiwis into the night and all made it to the train the next day to head to Prague.

Welcome to Oktoberfest! Day One.

The "tents" are enormous. Here are some of them.



I found the guys at Lowenbrau. This is what they looked like finishing their first Liters. They looked much happier by the time I arrived after dark.

Giant pretzels. These are delicious, and they are everywhere.

Bye Munich! Next stop - Prague! Part 3 coming soon.
