So today is my last day in Germany, and the unofficial start to my trip. What do I mean by that you might ask? Well my sister Sarah shipped out this morning so from now on I'm flying SOLO! AAHH! I can't wait!
So Oktoberfest was AMAZING! I went back by myself today to see it one last time- who knows if I'll ever go back, ya know? It was soooo crowded because it is the last night of the fest. Everyone was bustling around all busy and I think the whole crowd was really savoring the moment, since it has to last AT LEAST until next year. I watched this old man sweep up one of the biergartens and he was sweeping up sausages and broken steins and pretzels and all and I got a bit sad, nostalgic even. What a fab event Oktoberfest was!
I tried a lot of the festbiers- Hofbrau, Lowenbrau, Spaten, Augustiner, Paulaner, Franziskaner, I think that's it. Paulaner was the BIG winner for festbier. The traditional soft pretzels win for best food. Best tent goes to the Hippodrome;it felt like the circus! Best biergarten goes to Lowenbrau. They have a big lion out front that growls, "LOWENBRAU!!!" every once and a while and when you are a bit tipsy it is quite entertaining to mimic haha
Aside from the fest I explored the city a bit and it was really pretty. We went to the Deutches Museum, which was supposed to be really cool, but totally sucked haha I found Munich to be super clean, not too expensive, convenient (a lot of people speak at least a little bit of English), very easy to get around on public trans, and it is easy/cheap to leave the city. Tonight I am headed to Prague on a night train. I'll tell you all about it later!
