A few pictures of the couple of evenings we spent at Oktoberfest 2013, including the very last night on Sunday….
From BIG tent to small,
And of course sober, to not so… Until next time! See you in 2014?
PS. I do apologise for the quality of a couple of these pictures. It’s quite difficult taking a steady shot whilst standing on a wobbly bench and singing along to various songs. I like to think it captures the atmosphere of the place though. All the fun, minus the hangover?!!
Catherine says
We didn’t make it this year – sadly :(

Erica Price says
Some lovely pictures despite the wobble – I really like the top one. Are you sure the wobble was due to the bench, there seems to be lots of alcohol around. ;)
bavaria says
Thank you, it might have been the combination of the two! :D
Emma @emvanstone says

3yearsandhome says
Standing on a wobbly bench?! Nothing to do with the person holding the camera being all wobbly from sampling the fine German beer? ;-)
bavaria says
Well, there might have been a leeelte tiny bit of that as well! But the bench was definitely wobbly too honest! I often wonder how they don’t all just topple over domino style at times! :D
MsCaroline says
Very brave of you to stand up on something wobbly after a Maß or two! Gorgeous photos as always, and really do capture the fun and energy. Very very jealous!
bavaria says
Thanks so much Caroline! :) x
