When last we discussed the joys of Oktoberfest, Vera and I had decided to stay and drink a beer, and left the others to wander around München. Once we got in the Biergarten we realized that finding a seat was going to be difficult, but not impossible. As one of the waiters passed by us, I asked him if one had to be seated in order to get a beer. He confirmed this, but then asked how many seats we needed. While there were four of us, we really only needed 2 seats, the other two could stand and as long as we could order 4 beers, it would be fine. The waiter asked a table with a little bit of wiggle room if they would be willing to scoot down so that a couple more people could sit and we got a seat at the end of the benches. Yea!!
We ordered our beers and waited for them to come. I have to say that the atmosphere was actually pretty good. To be fair it was still early in the day, but everyone was very friendly. There were no angry or belligerent drunks, and everyone was just there to have a good time. Now the beers were 8.50 which is a little expensive, but if you’re just going to have one beer and experience the fun that is Oktoberfest, it’s 8.50 well spent. We got our beers, tipped our kindly waiter generously since he had found us the seats, and met the people next to us.
