Probably the most fun I have had visiting munich took place during my trip to Germany Oktoberfest:The celebration lasts more than two weeks and originally commorated the marriage of King Ludwig the first:We made reservations well in advance, because this party is like the maritigras only much more popular with not only germans, but people from all over the world.
A hugh parade opens things up with each of munichs six breweried entering a beer wagon pulled by a dozen. Hugh horses all decked out beaufifully and sitting in the wagon are men and women, sampling the fine brew of each.
The parade went for hours; I think the whole city came out.
We walked to the fairgrounds where there are at least six tents holding, thousend of people.We could not even get in, so we walked back to town and went into the Hofbräuhaus up to the third floor.
The band was playing and everybody singing and having a good time.
After a few liters of beer we retiered to our Munich hotel to watch the fun on televison, prost!
