Humo & Kaz take on the World: Oktoberfest 2006, Munich, Germany!

Germany...the land of beer, potatoes, beer, meat, beer, more potatoes, beer and more meat! Yum yum! Crazy place, crazy festival but great fun! Come Monday though, all of us were the biggest scatter brains, dehydration of the brain left us all clueless!!

In the beer tent after a few 1 litre beer steins

Day one..Andy proud as punch with his hat and beer

The Pig Pen in Hofbrau house...mainly full of Kiwis and Aussies. The pig pen is the middle area. If you walk in there you risk loosing your underwear and having it thrown up on the cupid! Actually who am I kidding...show any of your underwear anywhere and you're brave!

These poor ladies, somehow carry up to 15 of these things..and they're heavy!!!
They stick a whistle in their mouth and brow it to get people out of the way before they collapse onto the table with them! (I stuggled trying to left 3 with one hand...having to lift one to drink is heavy enough!)

The beer ladies in line

Day one walking into the Oktoberfest

Andy, Tom and Dela strutting his stuff as we arrive early to grab a table

Hofbrau house brew house..waiting in line for opening 9am

Leading up to the opening of the festival we thought it only right that we practice at the beers halls in town.... Here we also met up with Humo's old Melbourne workmate, MJ and her sister Kat.

Girls and boys split up for a day in Munich...boys get bored and head to beer hall almost immediately and save us a table for the day/night....girls head to markets, have a gourmet platter and wine, head to some shops, go out for irish coffees and meet the boys in the arvo.
