Things to do in Munich when you're...

... waiting to find out just how many people will make it over!

Friday morning saw the 7 of us meet up in the morning for hot chocolate...

Fortunately, normal service was resumed and we visited the Fruhlingsfest - only to find that Hector was wrong about it's opening time! Fortunately, the short S-bahn trip to the Forschungsbrauerei in Perlach was more fruitful, although I suspect Dr Stan failed the Standard Grade Physics paper kindly provided by Hector. It would be unkind to point out that it was a multiple choice paper...

Drawing a veil over this, we returned to the fest - which was now open. We started in the Hippodromzelt, serving Spaten bier. Unfortunately, the entire tent was reserved for the evening, so we reluctantly left.

Unlike the Oktoberfest, there are only limited bier drinking opportunities. The next one was outside - a Paulaner biergarten. This was pleasant, until the sun went down... Fortunately, Marg had scouted ahead and reported that the Augustiner Festzelt had unreserved tables - if she was right about this, the night was not done!

She was - it wasn't! I think I'll leave it to Hector to report on the evening...

  1. Shocking incident today. I was walking along the street when I was hit on the head by a strawberry gateau, a chicken lasagne and a garlic baguette.

    Fall-out from Iceland apparently.

    But seriously folks, I trust you are continuing to enjoy yourselves and your travel disruptions are kept to a minimum.
