The friday night we all headed to the Augustiner Beer Garden for dinner and our first steins of the trip.
Eloise, Ryan and Sean.
LJ and Simon
Mary with her stein, no mug of wine.
The boys with their beers.
Day one of Oktoberfest. We had a table inside the Schottenhamel Beer hall. The tent that opens the whole event. Not a bad place to be on opening day.
As you can see, we weren't the only ones there. These Beer Halls fit as many as 10,000 people in them! The band is seated in the middle, playing music all day for us to sing and dance on tables to.
At 12 noon the Mayor of Munich taps the keg, and the beer starts flowing. Our beer wench had a bad wrist and was only able to carry 8 1L steins at a time.
Sean, unable to keep his eyes off the beer!
Drinking and being merry!
Despite us getting up early and lining up with them, Simon, LJ and Mary didn't get into the beer hall on opening day. Neither did their beer.
Oktoberfest Day 2. Paulaner Beer Hall.
