When we came back from Dachau, Erik and I headed right to the Hofbrau House because I wanted a cold drink after a place like that and we also didn’t have a place to stay that night! Our hostel reservations started the next night. So we found our way downtown and checked it out. There were streams of people coming in and out, but we managed to get into before security stopped people.
The inside of the Hofbrau House is just crazy. It’s like a mini-Oktoberfest. We found a seat at a beer barrel converted into a table and were served pretty quickly. Some potato dumplings, coleslaw, and some kind of meat along with of course, the HofBrau House DunkelWeizer(dark wheat) beer. I enjoy the meal and beer, and soon enough we’re talking with the table next to us. Some blokes from the UK were there, along with a German from North Germany who was celebrating his birthday, along with a bunch of other random people. We spend the rest of the night talking about anything and everything, before Erik and I head out in the night. We wander around for awhile and eventually make our way back to the train station. To our surprise, the entire train station was full of drunks! Everyone from Oktoberfest heads back there and crashes until the Polizei kick them out around 5AM. We got kicked out too. From there, we did some more wandering until the hostel let us into our rooms later in the day.
