3rd sept
Today was a public holiday in Augsburg. Meaning 2 things, I had the day off work and everyone in the south of Germany was going to the beer festival.
I got to the main train station for about 9 and had to wait 30min for the next train as the 1 on the website somehow managed to disappear. Once the train came, it was a 2 tier regional express, although I was about the 20th person on the platform I was 1 of the last to squeeze through the doors, it was packed and with every turn over points or breaking of the train it felt like it was going to derail. It of course didn't and I arrived in the main train station in Munich in about 1/2 the time that it would of normally taken and the driver didn't dare stop on the way in case more tried to board the already overcrowded train.
I met up with my dad and Jane along with 1 of my dad's old colleagues at the end of the platform. This week I walked, as the underground would of been packed. We made our way to the Augustina tent (my favourite brewery) and searched the beergarden for some seats as it was such a nice day. We didn't find anything so moved inside where we got 4 next to each other. It was cheaper for me this week, as my dad seemed to automatically pick up the tab, which is always nice. There was a band playing, but the music wasn't as good as the first time round. I mostly just spoke to the 3 with me about the last week and plans for the end of the week.
Early afternoon I got a text from Dagmar who was also in Munich, shee ended up joining us for supposedly '1 drink' however her father ordered about 4 rounds in all. They thought my dad was really nice and didn't expect an englshman to be in laderhosen.
My dad and co left about 5, but i stayed till about 9 I think with Dagmar, her dad and step mum. On the way to the trainstation, her father was telling me about how he recognised my dad from when he worked in Munich, although didn't know where from and what decade, hehe.
I got the S8 train to the main station and ended up getting lost trying to find my train. I just missed it and had to wait 55minutes for the next. I didn't mind and got talking to some German teenagers about random stuff.
