day 2 of oktoberfest....the best 14 hrs of drinking we've ever had

we all woke up and made it out of the hotel by 745 am that day, it was definately going to be rough, jess fulfilled her goal of puking in every country and did, on the train in the bag where my breakfast was, hahaha (sorry jess had to mention it)...then we got to hofbrau house by 815...we waited to be let in and go inside sooo fast!! although we were slightly dreading having to get through the first beer we were reallllly excited!


we sat upstairs at table that were open until 11am, then at 11 we woudl have to go downstairs because the people who made reservations are let in, little did we know that they basically kick us out and throw us to the curb out the back door at 11...we were conveniently seated next to all of italys most obnoxious drinkers, screaming italian songs for hours and being rude to everyone around us, shockerrr...once we were being excorted out we were on beer 2, we had to chug what we had left before we went outside and as i was handing the security guard my 1/3 full beer he said no and made me chug it lol, it was really funny

once outside we made a bathroom run, matt bought light up sunglasses, then we found out which door has the fastest moving line to get back in since we heard we'd need to wait for a few hrs...susan and kaitie seduced one of the security guards and got us and 2 random older guys in...it was amazing, the 2 guys then bought us all a round for helping them get in and our day inside on teh bottom floor began, we had no idea that it was 12pm, we were on beer #3 and we'd be there for another 12 hrs...wow


the rest of the day is a huge blur of singing, sceaming, slamming beer mugs together, bouncing around from table to table, meeting germans, italians, irish, and many other groups of people. it is the happiest place to drink everrrr...no one fights, everyone is just enjoying life and beer, as well as the 12 person band that was playing all day in between chants and surprisingly our fav acapulco jam "hey baby" haha

at around 12 we left b/c we clearly stayed until closing, then we ventured off into the night where the rest of oktoberfest takes place, i had no idea but there is actually a lot more to it than just drinking, there is a huge amusement park set up, games, food, and fun things, 7 of us drunk messes stumbled thru the crowds with our beer hats and other paraphernalia including the mugs we stole and went on a bunch of rides, not only were these some of the scariest most intense rides we've ever seen, these germans dont exaclty try and put safety first, for example we went on a roller coaster that had like 5 loops and crazy shit and i asked the guy where i can put my 2 beer hats and my mug, he told me to hold them between my feet then as we were already moving he threw on our thing to strap us in and just let us go...it was awesome lol, good thing i was trashed tho...after our rides we decided to go home, we made it to the main train station then since we were so drunk we walked around for like 20 min in a circle, we finally found our way to the subway (which we had walked past like 11 times lol) then made it home by around 1:30....it was a greatttttt day ;0)


the next morning we somehow were in amazing condition and would have gone to day 3 if we could haha...we went to the airport and started our trip home...by the time we made it to our layover none of us were speaking b/c our weekend of drunkenness had caught up and we were dead lol

we're back in rome now and so excited to sleep tonight, i have to go to campo to pick up fliers for tuesday night for the bar crawl, we start work that night so we are going to be flyering to make millions on tuesday, it should be really fun, although i cant really think of drinking right now lol
