Mike's Bike Tour

After wandering freely around Munich our first day in town, we  decided to hop on a bike for Mike's Bike Tours. Mike's Bike Tours came highly recommended from a bunch of the Innsbruck study abroad group, so I knew we were in good hands. 

We were loving our Barbie Pink bikes

Hey there!

Brittany acting like the lion. Rawr.

So. Yellow.

And its hard to believe that the inside looks like this...

So. white. 

Touching the lion's shield for good luck!

Everyone is loving the beautiful scenery 

After an hour or two of biking around, we headed off to the beer garden!

And it was a gorgeous ride over! 

Actually, our guide, Kyle told us that the gardens we were passing on the way to the beer garden were "nude gardens." Now I have heard of nude beaches, but never nude gardens. But we must have just missed the nudists because everyone we saw had on clothes. 

The Second Largest Beer Garden in the World: Chinese Tower

I wish we had one of these back home.

Sausage, Potatoes, & Beer: A Classic German Meal

Half a liter of Oktoberfest Beer. Only served around Oktoberfest. By the way, my half a liter is considered a "small" & the full liter is the "regular." I'm kinda scared to find out what the "large" is.

Prost! Aka: Cheers!

And when you cheers glasses with someone you HAVE to make eye contact. Everyone who has been to Oktoberfest knows why...

After lunch we sat and watched the locals surf on a river nearby. They were pretty good. 

Don't judge us. But somehow after our huge meal at the beer garden we still had enough room to have a little bit of gelato.  

It really is a weakness. 

After a long day we walked back to our hotel, showered, rested & made it out for a short dinner at El Gordo Loco. (If you have been in Europe as long as I have & are missing Mexican food as much as I am-go here! They have chips! I know-a miracle.) We all ate as much as we could because we knew the next morning we were waking up for Oktoberfest!
