Oktoberfest


Goodness! Public drunkenness to an amazing degree. As one of our busmates said on the way home, "German's take their Oktoberfest seriously!"

This picture shows a beer tent. Notice that it has two stories, and that people are pressed up against the window. Notice also that people are clustered in front of the door, waiting for space inside. The beers were a litre eash, and cost $10. One of the people on our bus claimed to have downed 8 of them in a 7 hour period. He was finishing the last one as we drove home.

It's not something we need to do again, but we are glad we got the chance to see it.
