Quick update from Amsterdam (yeah, you read that correctly):
- Oktoberfest is fun – everything I expected. I found friendly Australians and Germans to drink with, etc.
- I drank far too much on Tuesday. I lost count, but my best guess is 7-8 litres of beer. I didn’t think that was even possible for me. On my way to a nightclub with some locals, I got sick, left the train, then eventually took a different train home. In the rain.
- On Wednesday, I woke up with the worst hangover of my life. In a slightly leaky tent, in the rain.
- Sigh. Rain.
- Eventually dragged self to downtown Munich in the rain, bought food and an umbrella, read book in a cafe.
- Thursday: still not 100%. Wandered around Munich, bought a train ticket, took a few photos, went to Oktoberfest for a few hours. Night train to Amsterdam, because it’s not raining here and beds on trains are dry.
So there you go :) More interesting entry to follow when I don’t have a city to explore and coffee shops to evaluate.
ooh. jealous. except the hangover part at least.
Seconded. *raises glass* Here’s to no more rain and lots of free-flowing beer!
holy crap. what a lot of beer!
Yeah, that was pretty much my reaction to the entire event.
Ah, but did you have the same plane as I did?
Yes, it was the same aircraft, but sadly I found nothing behind the mirror. Oh well, thanks for playing :)
Ah, that’s too bad. You’re sure you had the correct bathroom? I wonder if somebody found it and *didn’t* email me. The buggers.
Yes, I’m sure..
Hey, maybe the person who found it doesn’t speak much English :) Or maybe it got shaken further back behind the mirror and is still there.
Actually that’s my guess — it probably got shaken farther back. I would have used a bit of tape or something if I’d had any.
Yeah, bummer :) I couldn’t see any way to remove the mirror without tools or I would have done that.
Man, when’ll we have this chance again!?
