Two entries on one day! So after our morning adventures, we couldn't possibly leave without seeing what this Oktoberfest was all about. First thing to note is that during the festival it appears that 80% of regular local Germans like to dress in traditional get-ups... Ladies look like servant girls and men in leather pants. Those not dressed this way are actually in the minority. So we went what is like the Melbourne showgrounds but it's bigger. Oktoberfest is n...

Ok so the car theme continues today, we eventually made it to Munich as the train was over an hour late. On the upside we get 25% back on our ticket. After the exhaustion of the Frankfurt Motor Show we headed to the BMW museum today. There were lots of BMWs - cars and bikes for matt to drool over. Unfortunately for him, and let's face it - fortunately for me, it's Sunday so you can't do a tour of the manufacturing plant... Shucks! From there we went to one of th...

But matt is very happy with all the shiny cars a...

Tomorrow we head to Prague, I'd definitely like to return to Berlin some day, it's a beautiful city.

Wilkomman! We are in Berlin! Have escaped Turkey and at the final passport control when she stamped my passport they were still going on about Malta in Turkish. If you have both passports just pay the 15 euro for a visa in your Aussie one! Anyway really happy to be here, back in the EU and feeling comfortable with things again! So we have certainly experienced a change in the weather, gone is 30 degrees and sunshine and in with the rain and 15 degrees but we br...
