Eurotrip 2017 - Day 4-5

Day 4 - Berlin - Munich

My paranoia level about engine oil level reached it's peak, so I finally decided to buy some (my timing is always perfect, right? 😀). Engine oil prices on gas stations weren't welcoming at all (something like 32 eur / liter 😒 Seriously?), but by pure randomness I've found major spare parts ('telie' in German) shop, and sure enough they had oil with necessary specification, made in Germany (surprise), and price was reasonable as well. Added a few hundred ml's, and my paranoia was silent for a while.

Fun fact: in Germany there are 'emoticons' on roadwork signs - face smiles more as you're reaching the end of the stretch.

Hotel in Munich had it's own garage (quite unusual among hotels I've stayed in so far) and you had to enter same code as for your room for the door to open. Even considering it was an Oktoberfest time, garage was quite empty (like 25% full).

Oktoberfest

well... I knew it would be crazy, but I didn't expect it would be THAT crazy. And it's certainly not an event for introverts 😃
Finding a place to sit in a beer tent isn't trivial (and this was during the week, not a weekend!). But locals said like - "oh, this is ok, but on weekends it gets real crazy". Well, I don't wanna know how crazy it gets on weekends then 😕
Still, it was worth visiting, even considering I almost got hit by flying 1 litre mug filled with beer 😑

Fun fact - you don't need a map to reach Oktoberfest place, just pick one of the metro stations nearby and go with the flow, you won't get lost 😀
