Memories of Munich

Hello Possums,

Time for another selection of the Travelling Tart's photos. Munich this time. We were only in Munich overnight but it was full of energy as it was during the Oktober Fest. There was a group of us on the tour which started off with 4, then gradually expanded to 8 who always got together at night for a few drinks and dinner and we became known as "the Party Team" and found that others wanted to join us. Needless to say we were quite happy with that and the party team expanded to about 14 the night we were in Munich. We found a nice little restaurant not far from the hotel and had a great night - drinking copious amounts of beer and having a German meal. Then we went to the local Oktober Fest - like a massive funfair with beer everywhere. Great fun until the next morning when I was a bit slow to start!!

On the back to behaving front I'm doing really well - been tracking properly, drinking lots of water and no alcohol so hoping to be able to report a good loss on Wednesday.

So have a great weekend
Love Z xx

I can't remember what this was - think I just snapped it our the bus window as we were passing

There were markets on in the town square in Munich with lots of fascinating little crafty things

And some more

Inside the Hofbrauhaus - one of the main drinking areas during Oktober Fest - this was early in the day - I believe it gets much messier later on

The town square

All these little figures did little dances and moved around after the clock had struck the hour

Of course Bloss had to get a drinking hat - most of them are just little felt hats but of course there's the usual novelty ones too - so this is a cow and here's me - just a tad glassy eyed - modelling it

The town square again

Reckon this would be so scary - there's people in little chairs swinging around at a huge height on this

You were so lucky to be there during Oktoberfest!!! My friends all went for a long weekend, and you have to book it 6 months in advance because it's such a crazily popular event, although I guess it gives a bit of a skewed view of what the city's normally like.

My friends have the pig drinking hat - I think I like your cow one better!
