24/09/ - 27/09 Oktoberfest, Munich


2hr flight out of Athens, a bumpy train ride and so much anticipation to see Kirst and Jacq in Munich and we are finally here, Germany!

Day 1 - The girls greet us with giant gingerbread hearts and a few tears, we shopped around Munich city centre, had a good ole fashion German feed amongst medieval looking castles and locals in leiderhosens and then it was back to our hostel to meet our new roomie, Lauren. After we got to know each other it was to the shops to gather pre drinks and nibblies to begin the night with. 3 hours later and we are beyond smashed, too many drinks and crackers and it's to the club which is conveniently in our hostel. Table dances, cocktails, steins, Gangnam Style and old Greece friends - a quiet night out turned into an all nighter.

Day 2 - First day at Oktoberfest, wake up feeling very hungover and worse for wear, ate breakfast on the same table we danced on the night before, got dressed up in our beer wench outfits and it was off to the festival. Oktoberfest is like the Easter show, except everyone is wasted and in costume and you're allowed to do whatever you want. Our beer hall of choice was the Lowenbrau. 3 steins in and Jacq and I decide to bite the bullet, stand up on our table and skull a stein each, the first girls to do it that day! We had the whole beer tent chanting for our inevitable drunkennes, proust!

Day 3 - Hungover, smelling of beer and ready for day 2 at Oktoberfest! We ate, drank, danced and soaked up the merriness of thousands of drunk Germans! Met up with old school mates, had too many steins and wines, got cut off at the HB tent and at our peak explored a fun house maze of mirrored walls and turning floors.

Day 4 - Early morning goodbyes to Jacq, free breakfast, hungover times and we're on a 5 hour train to Vienna, see you next year Oktoberfest!
