Munich/Salzburg – Oktoberfest 2017 – Day 7
This day was one of the days that i was most excited about! I had found a 4 hour tour all revolving around the Sound of Music. What i didn’t realize was how much one should know about the sound of music before going on a tour about it. It’s now in the queue to…

Main objective – see the keg tapping at Oktoberfest. We metro’ed to the Central Station, and followed the signs to the festivities! There was a parade…
