Well it’s Spring, so it must surely be time for a Spring Festival, and where better to enjoy the festivities than at a Spring Beer Festival `Die Fruhlingsfest` in the Bavarian capital of Munich. It does not quite have the status of it's bigger brother, the Oktoberfest; but it is certainly still very entertaining, and is a much more family orientated event. We had a fantastic time as always, and were very fortunate to share in some fantastic weather. We made the most of the early summer, by spending a great deal of time in the numerous beer gardens, and a sun burning Sunday at the Seehaus in the Englischer Garten. So to sum up, it was an extended weekend of Fairs, Maβes, Schweinehaxe, and Oompah Bands!
