Ok, we were determined to make another attempt to get into the big tents, so after some breakfast and packing, we headed back to the festival and were pleasantly surprised. We were able to easily get into three of the tents and the photos I show are examples of these tents. What an atmosphere! One culinary delight of the festival was the 19 inch sausage/bratwurst seen in one of the pics above. We had to sample one last Oktoberfest Beer before heading to the airport in Frankfurt, which we thought was only 4 hours away.
We were wrong. Seven + hours later and numerous traffic jams, we arrived at the Hahn airport, to drop of Robbie and David, only to learn that we had just missed Robbie’s flight by 10 minutes. Robbie got another flight, but it didn’t leave until 6am the next day, so Rick and I said our good-byes to David, and with Robbie found a hotel a few minutes away.
