Day 2 Friday 21st September 2007
ARRIVAL IN ACHENKIRCH
Now the fun really starts ! We arrive at the beautiful lakeside Austrian ski resort of Achenkirch (80km south of Munich) in the morning where you’ll check into your hotel, the Scholastika. It is situated right on the Achensee, a huge lake surrounded by mountains. The view from our hotel is truly majestic. You then have a full day to explore the village or warm up in the bar. There is a lot of activities to do at Achenkirch. A boat ride on the Achensee maybe? For the more energic bike riding or mountain climbing? In the evening join us for our annual pre-beerfest party.
Day 3 Saturday 22nd September 2007
OKTOBERFEST OPENING DAY
After breakfast we depart Achenkirch and drive straight to Munich for Oktoberfest and the opening parade. At noon the Munich mayor taps the first keg and we’re away!! You have the rest of the day free to join in the huge opening day’s festivities. After the beerhalls close we return to our warm beds in Achenkirch.
Day 4 Sunday 23rd September 2007
MUNICH AND DACHAU
No time for sore heads because we have another big day and night back in Munich. After a later breakfast we’ll cruise into Munich and back to the Oktoberfest. You can either head straight into the beerhalls or join us for a very sobering experience: a tour of the infamous Dachau concentration camp, north of Munich. This was the first of its kind built by Hitler. Then it's back to the beerhalls. After another BIG evening we’ll again depart Munich after the beerhalls close.
Day 5 Monday 24th September 2007
TIROLIAN TOUR
After a slow breakfast most people take time to recover from a couple of days at the fest and prepare for more partying ahead! Today you can either have the day at the resort to enjoy the outdoor activities or join us on our afternoon drive through the Tirol to the beautiful ski village of Kitzbuhel. From Kitz, we visit St. Johann’s summer tobogganing run for the adventurous (weather permitting). Late afternoon we move to our very own special location on the edge of Kirchdorf village for our huge annual Beerfest BBQ. Cost is about £10. Food, live bands and lots of partying. The party starts early afternoon and continues in the village before doing a transfer back to Achenkirch.

MUNICH ONE MORE BASH
After breakfast we head back into Munich to give you a final opportunity to explore the city. You will also have plenty of time to party one more time in the beerhalls. After a full day in Munich we’ll depart from the Oktoberfest grounds in the evening for a night drive back to the English Channel.
