I now it's been a while since I posted last....my bad!!! Life kinda gets in the way!! I wanted to share our adventure to the "real" Oktoberfest with ya! So we decide to take the train. It's ends up being a 2 & a half hour ride & it was so packed our whole group - 4 guys, 3 girls, & 2 children + a stroller- had to stand the entire ride & we just so happened to be crowded by the bathroom so that was really nice - NOT. We should have known from this that our day was not going to go as planned. haha & boy do we have stories to tell about the train ride, from a stinky guy and about 15 people crammed into a space meant for 5 or so to the many people who decided they should squeeze through our group to get to the bathroom. & believe me they have no idea what personal space is either.
After that painful ride there we were so happy to finally arrive in Munich! We started our 15 min walk from the train station & it felt like we were in New York, so many cars & people trying to cross roads to get where they were going! Finally we start seeing people dressed in their lederhosen and dirndls so w know we are close. The crowds were overwhelming! We find a tent & we went in to find a bathroom and a seat.
As you can see, finding a seat in the tents for our group was impossible! So off we go, & by this time the guys just wanted a beer and we all wanted food!!! And then we find out you have to be seated somewhere to get served beer so the hunt was on!! After looking for a seat for what seemed like forever we found 2 tables near each other that would hold our group & although we had to b separated we were just happy to sit.
And probably the best time we had was when we met ^this^ guy and his friends from Australia. They were so fun! They traveled all this way just for Oktoberfest. After a couple of hours of just sitting we decided to leave our table which we knew we would never see again :o( to go check out other things. This is when it all went to hell. ^this^ girl gets lost in the crowd and has no phone and no one can find her. It was terrible! Although we tried to look for her it seemed impossible and it was, we never saw her the rest of the day or night. [she ended up catching a train & made it back safe-thank goodness] but the guys we were with didn't really know her and they [including my husband] wanted to do something fun so we went off to try to enjoy the rest of the day.
Me & the hubs!!! Love making memories with him!
I love this guy [^Corey^] he is so much fun!!
I was upset I missed my opportunity to get a pic on the Ferris wheel Corey made my whole night by capturing this shot from the top of a roller coaster him and the guys went on!!! Beautiful don't you think!!
Overall the rides and well everything was over priced, we had to elbow our way through the crowds, and the lines for the bathrooms were never ending. Although we did make some good memories there I would never want to suffer through that again!
