This is my version of hell on earth! 😆 🤣 glad to experience it on my couch and glad you guys had fun! Thanks for taking us along. Liam you're a good sport for wearing that outfit 👏 👏 👏
Thank you for watching our first European Adventures in our campervan - we post every Sunday at 9am, but also sometimes an extra video during the week on a Wednesday or Thursday (Subscribe to see our next video) 💚
Glad you got to have some beers in the end , you both looked great in you outfits . Great vlog 😊
Hi being T total that's not for me, not to say l did try it years ago in Sheffield !
But as for the park up you will be glad of the good tyres you're running on Morgan in that muddy field.
Look forward to your next video . Cheers !!!
@@johnhow3624 tyres helped us loads haha
Well done for your perseverance…..but…my idea of absolute hell! The mud, the rain, the crowds, the noise! Nope….not for me, but glad you enjoyed! Loving the Lederhosen! 🤣
Haha we get to do the mud and rain so you don't have to 😉
Ditto, my sentiments entirely. Sorry Janine and Luam, just couldn't do it myself. This would be my ultimate nightmare. Hats off to you both.
So pleased you finally got a seat and BEER 🍻 Proud of you Janine for tackling the steins 💪 I was smiling and laughing all the way through - and laughing at Liam’s face at ‘end of play’ #🤪 Safe travels 🚚x
🤣🤣🤣🙈🙈🙈🍻🍻
Got to tell you this made me so happy ..I’m a 70 year old adventure ( in a small way)just made me smile from start to Finnish. Thank you.
🤣🙌👍
Really loved this video. I'm glad the second day went so well for you, it was such a relief to see it work out so well. Great to see how well you got on with the Austrians, we had a great time when we visited many years ago, genuine friendly people.
Thank you guys for a great version of Oktoberfest proud of you both for sticking it out.
🍻 cheers
That was absolutely brilliant. My hat is off to the pair of you. The footage was great. Respect 👍
Thank you 🍻🍻
You both looked amazing and extremely Germanic! I lived in Germany when I was a bairn and went to all the schutzenfests with my Parents,we always ended up in the beer tent. loved the gingerbread hearts and watching this brought back all the smells and memories from years ago.Thanks for that x
What a wild and memorable two days, with you both looking so adorable in your traditional costumes in the beer tent searching for a table one day and landing one at 9am on day 2! Perseverance pays off!! This ultimate beer bash in Munich was clearly not to be missed, and thank you for taking us with you. Your determination to get into that tent on day 2 had me riveted! It was so worth it.
Adorable Costumes????? Cheapest Junk! This is not carnival or Halloween!
Amazing video guys! We were so delighted when you managed to get a seat and finally get the beers in! Literally our favourite video so far! Brilliant to see Oktoberfest in all its glory and all the shenanigans, prost! 🍺 🍻 🍺
Hi guys the noodles you bought are called shhpetzler not sputzler incase you wanted to know the correct pronounciation. You just add butter and salt to it. It's basically German pasta/noodles and you can add anything to it like bratwurst sausages or whatever vegan meat you desire. I'm english but my grandad was German so I have had spätzle many times both in Germany and in England. Sometimes you can buy it in aldi or lidl in England though probably not the vegan version so stock up on it if you like it before you leave Germany
Liam enjoyed it more than janine haha, it was a funny food but could get used to it
Worms 😂
The absolute most important ingredient in spaetzle is eggs (the more the better), so the vegan version is unlikely to work. My absolute favorite is Kässpätzle and beats Maccaroni and Cheese hands down. The cheese (mountain cheese) and the fried onions with it omg heaven.
Fantastic video, guys! As a Brit living in Germany (& not a fan of Oktoberfest..) I think you really did it justice 😂. Great job 👍
Aw thank you 😊
What a great start to Sunday ☀️! Thanks for sharing another great video! I look forward to Sundays and your adventures! Thanks for posting!
💚🍻
What a fantastically happy video. So glad you got into Oktoberfest. Liams face at the end of all those steins said it all, 😜he looked so drunkenly happy. That was truly one of your best Happy Days. 🍺 ❤
When you put those socks on. I laughed so much, my side hurts.
🤣🤣
Great to see you both relaxed and enjoying your selfs good luck on the rest of your adventures 😊🎉
What a fab upload, just stumbled across your channel and so enjoyed that, you both really make me chuckle and will be following from now on! Thanks both!
Thanks man
Amazing video!!! So glad you tried again on day 2 with a better plan, it looked worth it and so fun. Everyone looked like they where best friends making great memories. Loveyou guys your my favourite youtubers 😄😄😄👍 loved this thank you for sharing x
Absolutely brilliant, well done for persevering. Great footage.
🍻🧡💚
What absolute madness! Thank you soooooo much for sharing your account. My dad and a buddy of his went to Oktoberfest when they were in their 70s! They flew from LA to Munich! That had their share of steins, lost their rental car on the way out, and were so inebriated that my dad said to his friend "Leroy, we are going to have to hold one another up."! My dad tried to explain the madness, as they did not get any photos. Now I know what they experienced. I am going to show your vlog to my mom, who refused to go on the trip. She is going to go mental when she sees it! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
🤣🤣🤣🤣 your poor dad
That was a totally amazing video so good to see Liam so relaxed and enjoying himself and you look totally amazing in your outfit Janine
Oh my Lord.....I laughed so much when Liam discovered the socks. I had to go back and watch that bit again....pure comedy. Well done for persevering. For me, that experience would have been my worst nightmare. Thank you so much for the laughs.
Thank you for sharing. Due to my disabilities I could never now cope with an event like this and it was wonderful to join you on your video of such a wonderful, friendly, traditional experience. Wow! Thank you!
aw I just love you guys, my cheeks are aching from all the smiling. Your such good fun and kind and lovely and the outfits were fantastic!
Amazing guys. So glad you got to experience the atmosphere in the end. Happy days 😃😃😃😃😃
🍻🍻🙈
You look amazing in your outfits. So glad you got your beers. Thank you for taking us along 🍻🌟
🙈❤️🙏🍻
Brilliant video, we laughed so hard! you both looked awesome, really great that you got into the whole experience 💚
Thank you, we made it 🙈🤩🍻
What a fun time! So glad you guys didn't give up and made it in. You two in your outfits were just adorable. 😍 💕 So glad you talked Liam into wearing it. Can't wait to see what's next.
Thanks for sharing an insight of your Oktoberfest experience.
Glad your perseverance paid off and you appeared to really enjoy living in the moment.
Kudos goes out to you Liam and Janine.
I wish you many more adventures and safe travels along your way
Thanks mate 👍
Just to say I'm loving these videos of van life, something I wish I'd done, but great to see you guys doing what you're doing, really, really great. Will aim to watch all your output.
I was fortunate to experience this when I was in the Air Force stationed in Germany back in the eighties. It hasn't changed and is still the biggest and best party in the world. I'm so glad you got to experience this once in a lifetime event. Stay safe in your travels. Prosit!
By the way, the "maggots" you were eating is pronounced SPATE-zul
Wow such an authentic experience captured for us brilliantly and Veganised!! Literally fantastic content. Your connection beyond marriage is stunning, I really appreciate you sharing your friendship with us, so beautiful to see, go on Those Happy Days!!! 😊🥰
Ah thank you for such a lovely comment 😊 🍻
Enjoyed this video, very interesting & informative. You certainly got into the vibe.
💚
Wow, looked like such a good time! Wish I'd been there!!! Looking forward to your next video.
Next time x
Astounding perseverance you two 😍 lovely to see you letting your hair down 💚
Love how you share how it really is. 😊That was your finest half hour of a vlog.Well done and thanking you for sharing. Omg funny moments this should go viral and I bet it will be one of your most watched for sure.😂. You Liam were priceless in your thoughts of your outfit. 🤣When you eat with your eyes well done to Janine for putting a white sausage 🤣in her mouth, looked raw!
Keep up the good work , happy days so suits you 2, hope the weather gets better for you guys for next few days🤞😊
An amazing weekend, outstanding. Thanx 4 sharing.
That looked like fun I’m so glad you got a table and some Beer as you really made a big effort and thank you for a great video, looking forward to following your European experience with Morgan x
Thank you for your honesty, it is now truley crossed of my bucket list. Yuk I had it all wrong.
You guys looked amazing in your outfits, I am so glad you went back the 2nd day to get your beer and feel the atmosphere in the tents. My husband and I did this many years ago and were so lucky that a very drunk person made space for us on their table. Good luck on you travels
That is really lucky, we couldn't find anything the day before...nothing at all
Great video, sitting suffering from the virus from hell and it took me out of myself for a while, glad you got your beers, Cheers!!
Glad to hear it, get better soon 🙏
I'm so pleased you had a blast, hope the hang over wasn't to severe. Stay safe guys, look forward to next weeks adventure. PS, you both looked fabulous.

Really enjoyed this weeks video! (love them all lol) but really felt for you guys this week. Made up that you looked like you had a ball and it was all worth it. Looking forward to the ongoing adventures... Take care and stay safe guys...
🍻🍻 cheers
Glad you made it the end, persaverence paid off, 10 out 10, look forward to your next adventure!!
So happy that Oktoberfest turned out so well for you guys after a slightly disappointing start. What fun! I enjoyed watching how much fun you had immersing yourselves in the experience! As a American I got a kick out of the crowd singing John Denver's "Take Me Home, Country Roads"! What a fun community Oktoberfest turned out to be! Good for you!
ah yes. But other tents do have more traditional German music without the table dancing🦌
@@mikeparry9261 And a good time was had by all.
Brilliant. Seen Morgan this morning, near where I live, parked up, Kingsley, so looking forward to you next vid👍
Been binge watching your videos for a week or 2 now, Really enjoying your content. The places you visit the mixed camera angles and timely music. This one however, I felt i was there... Thanks for sharing your adventures 🙌👏👌
Thanks for watching 👀
Oh..it brings back memories!! The steins, the huge tables, the drunken people🎉. I was there in the 70’s and it was packed out even then! So glad you persevered!!! Look forward to the next vlog 🍺 ❤
Bet it was ace back then
Good for you for making the effort. Even avoiding leather. You both looked amazing
Thank you 🧡🍻
Truly stunning video content. One of your best vlogs to date. Well done Janine & Liam.
Thank you so much 💓
That was a great video! I was just smiling the whole time.
☺️☺️☺️
Better you than me! 😄 I went there in the late 80s and it was busy then..... but it wasn't nearly as horrendous as 2022. Glad you finally got a beer and got out of there safely
Absolutely brilliant filming!!! Amazing!
🙏🙏❤️❤️🍻🍻
I’m sitting in bed on a Sunday morning and been transported to the Oktoberfest. Loved this video snd so pleased you persevered and had a great time!
💚🍻
That looks brilliant fun!! My friends have been working in Munich for 5 years and they go every year. Worth the effort of the queues.
Kudos for sticking with it - looks like it was well worth it.
A happy ending indeed 🍻💚🙈
Another great episode guys I like how you don't sugar-coat it . I must admit I'll been tempted to head down to southern Europe for abit of sun and warmth.
Always show it how it is haha
Good times were had by all....glad you were able to enjoy your visit and Octoberfest. Your outfit's were great!
🍻 thank you
OMG what an INCREDIBLE vlog 🎥😀❤️🍺🍻 LOVED LOVE LOVED it when ya got a table in a tent. Such an atmospheric festival 😀
Wowzer! That was quite the ‘unique’ experience… thanks for sharing it with us ❤ that’s what you call determination. Our new point of reference for a very drunk friend will from here on in be ‘downtown’! 😂
🤣🤣🙈🙈
Brilliant guys congrats on your first Oktober fest beer, Happy days.
🍻🍻🍻
So happy you finally got your table but Shame about the lengths you had to endure to get it!!!
Safe journey and keep smiling 😊🌻❤️☀️🇬🇧
Haha I know right? 🤣
reservation for a table? a Year before, and allways for 10 ppl and prepayment
Glad you finally got to have your beer , great video as always
Thank you, so were we 🤣🙈🍻
Just wanted to say hi from Pennsylvania, USA! Great video! Love your channel! Glad you got to find a seat, have some beer and enjoy yourselves!
🍻 cheers and thank you
Glad you got to experience it after all! Our son lives in Munich so we knew about booking of tables/reservations etc - or the endless queue to try to get a seat. By the way - it can be that way too when you enter any of the permanent big beer halls - you need to be seated to be served and you can walk circles for ages until you see someone leave (if at all!). If anyone wants a similar experience out of the Oktoberfest period just head to one of the big beer halls in Germany - especially on a weekend - there will be huge beers (mass - yes, it means huge, massiiiiiive), the big pretzels, the same beefy potato meals and especially a band when everything livens up. The beerhall though is likely to have families, children and all ages - and although there may be a bit of shouting and singing along, it's all in good fun. We always go to one of the beer halls when we visit Munich. Hofbrauhaus is one of the favs (they are on iG) and also Paulaner. We have enjoyed our visits to Munich/Bavaria and think our son fits in very well as the attitude is quite Scottish I think - Bavarians are bavarians first lol (kind of like Scots wherever in the world they are). I don't fancy that mud park of a site though lol. Enjoy the rest of your German travels. PS Any disapproval at your outfits might have come from older people who view those "outfits" as their Bavarian national dress - not for dress-up lol. My son was given it in the ear for wearing lederhosen when he is Scottish - they said he should be wearing his own national outfit! So it's not that people are "dressing up" in lederhosen etc - they are simply wearing their national dress, like a Scottish person proudly wearing their kilt to an event. Most people would just humour it I'm sure lol. It was fun to hear and see all the lively chaos ha ha! PS For anyone looking to do Oktoberfest in future, there are quite a few films up on UA-cam which detail the costs of booking tables/drinks/booking and how to go about it if you want to ensure a reserved seat. Our son has been lucky that his work place booked a whole table - and that is common: a workplace or a family will book a table of ten or more people and it's a per head cost that includes a beer and some foot. It's expensiiiiiiive! Enjoy Germany, or should I say - Bavaria as it is very different to the rest of the country!
OMG!! Firstly, Janine you look so pretty!! Secondly, as a non-drinking introverted type, thank you so much for taking me on your Oktoberfest journey as its one I would never in a million years do in real life! But I loved accompanying you two! Cheers! 🍻 Good luck on thr rest of your Europe adventure 😊🙏
Thank you 🙏 😊
FAB-U-LOUS - the outfits and the vlog !!!! Love your determination!! 🍺
Thank you 🙏

The 'time to go' part was hilarious 😂
Thanks so much guys. Cheered up my day ❤️🍻🇩🇪
🤣
Glad you had a great time!
Oh man, I felt so invested in you getting there and having a good time, I'm so, so happy you did!!! I have to admit though that my first thought, when I saw those beers, was that I hope there's plenty of bathrooms lol. Another top video, thank you for sharing x
Thanks Jane ✌️
So proud of you two for not giving up !.
Thank you 🍻💚
What I got from this video, determination and Liam's eyes that are slightly off focus................. Brilliant footage.
🤣🤣🙈🙈
Great Oktoberfest shots. Liam looks hammered/ wasted/ smashed/ three sheets to the wind...pick a word... ! I was really surprised to hear everybody singing John Denver's Country Road at a German beer festival. I had a good time just watching everybody!
A great ending… Another one off your bucket list… Keep em coming.. Great Channel!!!
🍻🍻
Great to see you having some real fun.
Was a proper laugh
Thanks for another wonderful video Guys glad to see you enjoyed Oktoberfest. Something I never did when I was in Germany years ago now when I use to drink still. It's definitely a big event that everyone enjoys in Germany every year.
Liam putting the lederhosen costume on…class!
🤣🤣🙈😭
Thanks for taking us along, IT IS INSANE💟💙
Thanks for joining us 🍻💚
You two are unstoppable. I'd have sulked, ranted and given up but not you two. Yesssssss!!!!! Finally, a seat and a beer whooopeee. Liam making a bee line for it. Yesssssss! You both look so friggin' cute in your German gear. " Nine in the morning and I'm about to have the biggest beer I've ever had." " Both the beer and the pretzel are bigger than your head"🤣🤣🤣
I've at last managed to catch up with what you've been doing, I'm in Bulgaria at the moment. OMG you both looked brilliant all dressed up, so happy you managed to get in and grab a table in the end, it looked mental in there, what an amazing experience 🍻🍻🍻
Another great video, you both looked great in the Bavarian outfits. I spent a lot of time in Germany as an Army musician. I played in many Bavarian Bands always great fun.
Thanks, I just join the Oktoberfest this year 2022! It is so exciting.
That looked so much fun, glad you managed to get a beer 🍺
guys love you too ever since ive started watching you . i could not stop laughing to see how mental this is !! best of life and happy new yeaaaarr
What a great experience 🎉 I was going to say glad I was watching after the event but then realised I sound like your mum 🤣🤣 . Glad you enjoyed it .
