Oktoberfest Main EntranceBusy at 10:30 amThe tents do have canvas roofsFamous roasted duck restaurantThe Augustiner tent - my first stopHalf occupied at 10:40 amThat first tasty Oktoberfest litreSomeone standing on their seat to chug a beer, with great crowd encouragementChugging seems to be catching...Six, eight, ten at a time; there seems to be no limitAugustiner beer is still brewed and delivered in 200-year old wooden barrelsAnd you though this nasty brand was long gone!Cupid on a golden pot points the way to the WCThe beer is delivered in horse-drawn wagonsOktoberfest also incudes an amusement park......complete with Ferris WheelInside the Paulaner tent at 2 pm, getting more crowdedVery tasty Paulaner brew
The crowd gets jiggy with it!Standing on benches is allowed, on tables is not
The band played traditional German songs and vintage US covers
Keep on posting, Lee!
