The one and only schedule thread

There have been separate threads and now emails about activities and/or day trips. Let's try to keep everything here.

I will edit this original post as necessary based upon comments and agreements; ie. Jane's proposed tours. As usual, this is nothing more than suggestions (items in black). If we finalize something I will note it as appropriate. So remember, normal black items are proposals/thoughts, and blue items are set.

Thanks Mr. Border Collie. We were all over the place there. ;-)

Might I suggest Augustiner Restaurant Grossgaststätte as an early meetup point on Thursday, esp if it is a nice day. Jawohl!

Chugger said...

Would that be before or after a couple doner sandwiches?

Paulaner Girl said...

As I see it, there are 2 issues here. One is that the trip is ridiculously short..... The second is that as the schedule stands, we only have one day in the tents. The proposed kloster on Friday looks lovely. I assume its an all day trip. Would we be able to hit the tents afterwards? Or would Sunday after Andechs be better? We may have more luck getting in? Since this is why we do come to Munich, I think one visit is wholly unsatisfying. Maybe if there are people who would prefer a tour over the tents, they can do so.

Thursday prior to Hofbrau, maybe the earlier arrivals could meet up at the Seehaus. Or even run over to the fest grounds.

All good comments Paulaner Girl. With that said, some comments of my own...

-Sure the trip is short, but no different than normal just moved up a day. Quit bitching :-)

-The trip to the new kloster is less than an hour train ride, so similar to Andechs, it could possibly be done in a morning.

-I'm up for tents whenever we can. Thursday afternoon might work for those of who arrive early before Hofbrauhaus.

Hey I'm not bitching. I'm just pointing out the obvious.

I have heard this before. ;-)

We are going to try and do the tent late Saturday.

We should definitely do a late drive by after HofBrau on Thursday, and try Sunday as well after Andechs.

I am up for a tour (in Munich) early Saturday, however we may want to visit the Market.

I suggest no tour on Saturday!! Market early morning will be great! Afterwards Wies’n!!

Paulaner Girl said...

I forgot the market. Absolutely the market!

I have Benediktbeurn and Kochel in my MVV app. They are only an hour away. The monastery is really nice, and the lake my have boat rides. And beer, of course.

BTW... I recommend having the MVV App on your phone for train and U-Bahn/S-Bahn locations/schedules.

Chugger said...

MVV App and the Deutsche Bahn App.

Maybe we should officially decide to go on Friday.
