Oktoberfest - Day 1

Iain and myself flew out of edinburgh down to london to pick up stu then from there it was onto munich to find our accommodation, a place called 'the tent', we had arrived a day earlier than the rest of the group due to being able to get cheaper flights from where we were coming from.

After a quick walk around the city and a bite of food we caught a taxi and believe me it is very weird sitting in the normal drivers seat (right hand side) of the car and not actually driving the car because they drive on the wrong side of the road in Germany, going around corners is something else altogether!
A the tent we checked in and were given our sheets and blankets... 4 blankets each!! the tent we were in had 300 beds in it and was extremely cold, i would have hated to have been there during the winter. One of the other tents didn't have any beds and the people were given a fold out mattress and 7 blankets each!! Except for the cold it wasn't too difficult to get to sleep.

Inside the main sleeping quarters

Me with my bed number... yes... 351!

On the way out the next morning and off to the real accommodation in the city centre
