Young Mr Young savours a well-earned Bavarian beer
Just before the "real" Oktoberfest in Munich, we headed to Rosenheim for their autumn fest and local brew
And here is Mike modelling a Mass of beer for us
Tradition meets modernity: Spongebob loves a drop too
Oompah music and hearty hearty food - that's what we love about Bavaria!
Lindsey and I watch Mike with amusement
Some local flavour in Rosenheim
Christian & I take Mike & Lindsey for a spot of Thai scrumptiousness...
...and then a cocktail or two for afters
Bénédicte has joined our team at work, and Lorna & Mélina welcome her
Me and Four Volkers
The weather turned out all right in the end for our works day out
Jackie popped over to see Phil for a weekend
Ah! The "real" Oktoberfest starts! Beers parading through the streets of Munich - this literally outside my front door
Some traditional thigh-slapping escapades
Claire gets into character as a busty wench, and I get into character as a lusty lad, just before we head to the Oktoberfest
Claire, Jamie & Christian at the very centre of Munich
The new synagogue is an intriguing piece of architecture
A symphony of bold colours
The heart of beauty
And a spotted variety
My! What a big one!
A true Allgäu scene
To paraphrase Mika: "big cows, you are beautiful"
With tongues!
A down-to-earth perspective
Christian's parents' village: a typical German vista
If you go down to the woods today, beware of a big surprise...
Class grass
Metallic Beetle - not by Volkswagen
Oktoberfest 2007!
Claire, Jamie & their American mate Chris get in the mood
Oliver & I are both eager to start lunch
Claire shows she can blend right in with the German girls
No wonder there's a grin on my face!
Happy people
Veeeery happy people! (Care to share the joke?)
... and she's only had one little beer, honest!
Plastic meat - presumably for the vegetarians
Johannes und Clara
Oh, go on Lisa! Let me take a photo of your cleavage!
Michaela is pretty in pink
Album cover shot of Lisa
I enjoy a drink
Chris enjoys a bunch of Icelandic chicks at the next table
