Well, we got here from Salzburg last night, dropped our stuff off at the hostel and then headed out to the fest. We wandered a bit and looked at all the rides (just looking at them is enough of a thrill for me). Then we got a seat at a beer garden and had a giant mug each. We sat by an American pair from California and got to chatting; it was fun. Then we went back to the hostel to collapse.
This morning, we had breakfast and headed out to another part of town where there are shops and a few street performers. After that, we came back to the hostel to rest a bit before going back to the fest. We bought a decorated gingerbread heart and we split a big pretzel. We sat for a while on a grassy hill in the shade, and then decided we should find a place in a beer garden to order some food. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to find a place to sit and we don’t really care for crowded areas, so we decided to find a place closer to the hostel. Nothing really looked appealing, and we were tired, so we decided to come back to the room and rest a bit more. I don’t know about Will, but my legs and feet are pretty sore. So now I’m blogging; it’s 7:22 p.m. and we still need to go back out later to find food.
Oktoberfest is crazy. Really crowded; I’d hate to be there on a weekend. One neat thing about being here though is that if you find other English speakers, it’s really easy to talk to them. Also, we’re staying in a room of bunk beds with ten strangers, so that’s interesting, too.
