Oktoberfest...expectations v. reality

On Saturday J, K and I donned our traditional German dresses (some more skanky than others - online shopping fail) and headed to Oktoberfest in the Garden for an afternoon of beer and dancing. Here we are waiting for the bus (trying to look inconspicuous).

Gorgeous!
We arrived at the Supreme Court Gardens about 30 minutes after the event started to be faced with a massive queue. We were still buzzing after a nice lunch of salad and vodka, but this was soon killed after an hour long wait in the line. Blaahhhhh!
Once inside we skipped jollily to get a beer, stein in hand. Well that thought was quickly crushed by another hour long wait in the line just to get a drink.

However, after we managed to get a few beers into us the day turned out to be quite fun. We drank, laughed, ate roast beef rolls and K managed to find a nice man friend for the evening.




It was a shame about the poor set up and organisation, and I definitely won't go again, but I loved dressing up and hanging with my girlfriends.

What did you get up to?
