We flew into Munich International Airport on Friday night but stayed in a small town called Freising. This was about a 30 minute train ride into Munich and it allowed us to avoid the large crowds here for Oktoberfest. Freising is the home of the oldest brewery in the world, known as the Weihenstephan. In the year 1040 beer brewing officially began here and is still standing and producing. It began as a monastery where monks perfected the art of brewing beer. We are posing with the wildlife at the entrance to the brewery. We crammed so much into one weekend that we didn't have time to take the full tour. The flight for us was less than 2 hours from Gatwick Airport in South England.
