Oktoberfest Day Three: Nightcap

As planned Forrest and I headed back to the Festival Grounds at about 7pm. This is after I worked on the blog and Forrest had a snooze (bugger). As the sun was going down, we noticed that there was just as many people on the `Wiesen` as there was earlier today. In other words it was bloody busy.

I haven`t mentioned this in the past posts but its important make future comers to Oktoberfest aware of the family orientation of the whole show. Surrounding the beer gardens is a massive playland with rides, games and everything you`d expect at a country fair. In all the beer tents you`ll see kids, babies, moms, dads and grandparents having a grand old time. Even late into the evening you`ll see families out and about and everybody gets dressed up in the traditional Bavarian garb. And since its still a beer garden you`ll still see people getting seriously smash-faced :)

Bottom line is if you`re coming to Oktoberfest, bring your family and be prepared to have a really great time. Seeing all the families around me just make me miss mine even more.
