Inserted 11/12/17:
“We’ll just check out the tents” they said…
We took a train from Mainz to Munich and after drinking some wine on the balcony of our Airbnb,
we thought we might as well scope out the Oktoberfest tent situation so we knew what to expect the next couple of days. Pretty much immediately upon entering the Hofbrauhaus tent a waitress asked if we wanted beer and the obvious answer was yes! Four steins appeared quickly and we were immediately wrapped up in the excitement.
Singing was done, temporary friends were made, and benches were tipped over (not by us) and before we knew it we’d been in four tents and it was time to call it a night. Prost!
