Day 3 - 31/12/09

SILVESTER!

During our November trip, it seemed a good idea to book a table at the Augustiner brewery for Silvester, despite the suggestion that the party would last from 18:00 until 03:00 the next morning... After all, who could possibly drink Edelstoff for nine hours... This of course gave us all an additional problem - to survive the night, we had to try to avoid bier all day. What exactly do you do in München until 18:00 if you are trying to avoid bier?

We somehow managed, and wandered along to Augustiner shortly after 6. Guess who were the first party there, and as a result the first party invited to go to the buffet?

We were joined at the table (eventually) by the brothers McVey - Peter and Gerry to regular readers - who seemed to have had some problems checking into their hotel...

I would like to report that a quiet and sober evening was had by all. Once again, I would be lying to do so...

It seems that Craig was not content to dance on the benches like a normal German - nothing but the windowsill would do for him! Others might try to post a blow-by-blow account of the evening - I will refrain from doing so. Suffice to say, guess who were the last to leave the pub at 03:30-ish... (there seems to be a bit of a theme emerging here!)

I suspect we may return here for New Year again...
