Day 20: Munich, Germany

The tour left St. Goar early and descended down to Munich for the festivities of the infamous Oktoberfest. Before heading down to the festival, however, there was an included Bike Tour of the city of Munich or München for authenticity. Because wonderful little me cannot ride a bike, I ended up just walking around the area while most of the group went biking around. Fortunately, we were dropped off in the center of the city so there are a lot of things to see.

München is a gorgeous city. The little I saw of it had me in awe. It was clean and modern. History was definitely emanating that day because people were walking around in their traditional costumes. An hour later, the group was joined together once again. We headed to the hotel to check-in then after a quick rest, we headed down to Oktoberfest.

I honestly wasn't excited for this. Oktoberfest isn't just my thing. I debated on not going but I did because it was the 200^th Oktoberfest celebration. Although, I'm not gonna lie, I actually enjoyed Oktoberfest.

Oktoberfest was basically a fair with beer halls in it. That's the best way I can describe the event. There were a lot of rides, food stalls, souvenir stands and beer hallSSSS, which make the difference between Oktoberfest and other festivals. I peered into a beer hall and it was absolutely crazy. The fair grounds wasn't crazy. It was somewhat mellow compared to what was going on inside. You guys will probably stone me for this, I didn't actually go inside a beer hall and got myself a mass of beer. I wasn't up for it. It just means I need to go back to München during Oktoberfest. I know it won't be the 200^th annual but hey, Oktoberfest is Oktoberfest. I did get myself a shirt and took advantage of the food stands. haha

That's how I enjoyed Oktoberfest, and I really did. :]
