Oktoberfest 2003
(Click the thumbnails for the big picture.)
So it begins!!!
Yes, it's almost that time of the year again. Oktoberfest is coming around with frightening speed. Unfortunately due to circumstances beyond my control I won't be around for much of it this year but I'll certainly make a token appearance at the weekends.
Many of the roughly 200,000 visitors per day to the Wiesn will emerge from this U-bahn station, Theresienhöhe! The place gets like a madhouse and given the temperatures we're currently experiencing it's going to be like a sauna down there.
As you can see, most of the external work has been completed on some of the tents already.
And clearly a sign that some building contractors are being paid far too much. This a Ferrari Enzo and you can pick one up second hand for around 900,000 Euro.
As always the various canteens provide beers & food for the workers and anyone else who fancies it.
For long distance calls back to mom & pop.
Anyone who's seen my photos from previous years may think I'm just reusing old photos but I wouldn't dream of doing such a dispicible thing. These are all new stuff. Check if you don't believe me.
So, September 20th is the kick-off day. Be there or be square!!
