Andy, Emmanuel & Stefan from Saarbrücken, my first visitors of this year's Oktoberfest
Now that's what I call a Gamsbart!
The opening day of the Wiesn
Bring on the brass band!
Waving to the expectant (and thirsty) crowds
My first Wiesn rack of the year
Béné at the top of the Münchner Rutsch'n
Jaap & Marie-Laure in a bumper car
Me & Béné in another bumper car
Marcel takes us on solo
Jutta & Sara at my first After-Wiesn party
Banjamin sups up
Sara, Bernhard & me
Bernhard & Jutta
The crazy spinny swing thing
The beer-barrel-budging horses are pretty
In the Hacker tent with EPO friends
Marie-Laure is about to eat me!
Steffi in this year's special extra: the Historic Wiesn
Bernhard hides behind the best beer of the year
This fat fella fed me full!
The Big Wheel
Me, Ali & Charlotte get ready to go to the Wiesn
A cheeky round of Strawberry Limes to get us in the mood
Three madmen on the Wall of Death
Is it Ali? Is it Charlotte? Not yet...
Taking the sun in the beergarden of the Augustiner tent
Obligatory Mickey-ears shot
Obligatory Breznscape shot
A waitress with a sense of humour
Quick! Another piccy before the weather turns!
When you've had a few, a bit of rain doesn't stop you going on rides
Drying off in the bus on the way home
Me, Charlotte & Lorna givin' it Bavarian
Lorna found heavenly chips
The queue to get back into the U-Bahn after it started tipping down
Ah! That's better! A bit of sun
Me, Béné & Marie-Laure
Andrew & Mathieu
Splendid Hendl, ironically in the Ochsenbraterei
Corinne & me
Béné leads the crowd in another rendition of "Und i fliag"

Marie-Laure and friends
Danielle doesn't even like beer!
Dave gets ready for some action
Michaela appears to want to eat through her nose today
Me & Tim having a little titter in the sun
Hamish tries to look as cool as me
Michaela & Rod
The view from up the crazy scary swing thing
Me & Hamish feel the g-forces
The logistics of serving everybody food are mind-boggling
Back in the Hacker tent
I know it's fibre-glass, but I still want to eat it
The Power Tower in full flow
Béné is excited at the prospect
The view from up the Power Tower
Funfairs at night are such good fun to photograph
The Bavaria statue, bathed in lights for the double-centenary
More lights, more action, more cameras
Me & Ivo
Stefan
Ivo & Patrick
Peter
Bernhard, Ekke & me
Getting into the spirit
Up on the benches - and it's not even three in the afternoon yet!
Belting out all the Wiesn hits
Shall I have another beer? Oh go on then!
Thirsty work
The campest hat I saw all year
This Melbourne girl has travelled pretty far to sell her hats
Cheers. Again.
Check out my leather flap!
Bernhard & Christoph
What did Patrick do to deserve this?
The evening sun streams into the tent
What an innocent face!
Blinded by the light
Essence of Wiesn
Who's cooler? Me or the bird in red?
Too adorable not to kiss!
