Day 119 - 123
 |
| Topdeck Tents - so Oktoberfest 2010 and probably the worst couple of nights sleep ever. Oktoberfest 2012 - prime location for Maxi and a peaceful (drunken) nights rest every night. |
 |
| The girls had a day out shopping in Munich a couple of days before things kicked off. |
 |
| With a few extra bodies joining us for Oktoberfest (Luke & Alix) Fleur was setup in 'Fritzl's Den', which then became The Shag Shack ;) |
 |
| Guarding our table inside the Lowenbrau tent from 9am - 12pm Saturday (Opening Weekend). In 2010 we lined up from 7am in the rain and only just got a table. The gods smiled on us in 2012, as we arrived late at 9am but somehow managed to walk in the backdoor just as they were opening and without lining up in a queue. We snagged two tables, but realised we only had enough friends to fill half of one so donated it to some annoying American girls. |
 |
| Playing the waiting game with our German/Dutch friends. I still have no idea what the rules of the card game were, but Claire managed to clean up every hand. I think she is actually telling them how to play in this photo. |
 |
| Beautiful Frau's - before a stein sets in. |
 |
| Kendall making his first appearance at Oktoberfest. |
 |
| The girls all looking very sober as we wait for the cracking of the first keg. |
 |
| Delivery of the first round of steins. It is quite amazing how the atmosphere in the tent changes from a place of boredom to one of the most electric and boozy places on the planet in a matter of minutes. |
 |
| Kendall lagging behind already. |
 |
| Enjoying the first beer with our new German & Dutch friends. |
 |
| Oktoberfest Veterans - Mick and Richelle. They took us under their wing and punished us two days running. |
 |
| Claire trying her hand at wenching - she definitely makes the cut in the looks department. |
 |
| On to the second stein of the afternoon. |
 |
| What do they say about beer putting hair on your chest? |
 |
| Richelle and Fleur getting a bit excited. |
 |
| The veteran showing Claire how it is done. |

| I love you man.....
Day 2 - Oktoberfest
|
 |
| I'm pretty sure I sat in a puddle of water the night before. But, who knows? |
 |
| We have avoided the Hoffbrahau Tent like the plague, but decided to drop in on Sunday for a quick look. We didn't stay long. |
 |
| Taking a quiet breather at the Augustiner Beer house in Munich Town, before we headed back to the Oktoberfest tents. |
 |
| Catching up with Rob and Mick at the Spaten Beer Tent. Although it looks like Mick is trying to sniff his own dredlock, it's actually Raspberry flavoured Snuff. |
 |
| Looking quite sober in the Spaten Tent. |
 |
| Dred Moustachers |
 |
| Not sure where the flower came from or what is going on here...... |
 |
| I'm having an amazing time...... |
 |
| Dancing on the tables just before closing in the Spaten Tent. The Sunday was probably bigger than the Saturday for us. |
 |
| Fleur Dirty Dancing on one of the Spaten Tables. |
 |
| The girls still looking remarkably good even though they've had more steins than the day before. Incredible! |
