Hofbräuhaus and a Glockenspiel

We obviously slept in this morning and luckily managed to get downstairs for the free breakfast which turned out to be excellent. We relaxed in the room for a while and then took a stroll down to Marienplatz (Munich's city center) to see the city hall, the Glockenspiel, and stop in the famous Hofbräuhaus.









We had an early dinner and then made our way back to the Oktoberfest grounds and rode the big swings and on a roller coaster. It was a lot of fun and reminded us of the fairs we used to go to when we were kids (except the rides were a whole lot bigger here).






We headed over to the beer tent street and went into the Hofbräuhaus tent (the second largest tent). It was pretty much the same scene as the previous night... just different decorations and more people. We managed to find a great table and did some more dancing, singing, "prosting," and drinking. We met tons of people and closed the place down again. We easily found our way back to our hotel this time but not before stopping and buying some of the sugar coated nuts that were pretty amazing!
