Wiesn!

Go to ride in style, compliments of client..
around wiesn, a time for all

Was in Munich, it was public holiday (not again!) as it was the Unity day (National day), remembering the unification of East and West Germany. So as usual, everyrthing was closed. Good thing one, was Victor (the chauffeur) mentioned that it was also the last day of Wiesn - or we would know it as Oktoberfest.

We know the Oktoberfest as a beer drinking festival, but it is much more than that. History takes us to the 17th century, when there a was marriage between the bavarian prince and erm.. some princess. But like us back home, can't just have one night of celebration, they have two weeks of festivities which would later be known as Wiesn.

So, today was great. People from all over Munich came for the last day. They came with friends and family. Was a rare opportunity for me to see them in traditional Bavarian costumes, which Markus (my chauffeur for day 2) complains that they only wear during Oktoberfest...
