Day Trip to Andechs Brewery and Monastery

Didnt make it in the end. Sorry folks, we got caught up burninating several peasants in Marienplatz.

Heard the Hamster made it though.

Thank you all for the excellent birthday at Andechs, especially those who went early and reserved tables for us!

I dont' know who handed me the shots or what they were (was it you Abs?), but that was the end of me at Andechs. Extremely sorry I couldn't make it to The Arc. I ended up trying to get a quick nap before going out again, but obviously that didn't work! Thanks again, and sorry again for not making it out later. Bit of a poor showing on my bday, but it was a great time nevertheless.

ist eis ok BSF. I just got in from celebraaing your birthday...you're obviously a heavy gay blade fr not making it out but i think its safe to say that we drnk enough to compensate for you not beingh there. PS the arc was shit anyway and USA lost lol.

Anyway, Andechs was cool apart from when me an judders decided to run up the hill! {doh! btw stupid idea] then the swim in the lake in mid afternoon jusr rocked...shame we went all that way and didnt even look in the monastry! ah well, maybe next time!

Alcohol abuse is definately goood (where is the i'm pissed smiley BTW??)

No BSF, I was not the culprit behind those awful shots in the middle of the day... I was even forced to take one myself!

Great day at Andechs, super fun to meet all the new people and enjoy the scenery on the hike up the mountain. Enjoy ANOTHER beautiful day TT'ers!

@BSF: Eric the hampster is the one you need to "thank" for the shots...

was a great day! Could have stayed longer though...!! Next time. Did anyone find a pair of sunglasses I left on one of the tables? They had black rims and yellow lenses - nike. Did anyone pick them up?

Cmon I want to see the photos!

BSF and everyone else!...sorry for the abusive language earlier. You know I didnt mean it as from what I can remember I could barely focus on the screen while typing it!

@BSF - +Karma for making it through yesterday alive!
(and I'll run some pitures by you before posting them...)

Alright, I managed to take a load of photos. I have just uploaded them to my website, so go see if you can spot yourself at different states of inibriation..

Thanks jip, but I didn't make it to The Arc, negative karma points from myself for myself on that one! Should have let myself by convinced by ETH and just had a couple cokes to wake up. Thanks to ETH for the shots though!

I also just realized the problem. I forgot to eat; I was having such a good time with everyone and drinking, I only had 2 slices of toast for breakfast and 2 small Tengelman pretzels while there. Definitely wasn't enough of a base. Still no excuse tho

Edit: This picture pretty much sums up how I was feeling by the end...

Some pics in the gallery now...we didn't take many tho. Too hot to do anything but sit in shade with beer!

I had a great time. Next time I will remember to take a hat and sun screen. I know lobster colour skin is very traditional for the English abroad but its not my style.

@IW Great pics, as always.

@treehugger I am impressed at the amount of beer you can drink for a small lass

Oh wow BSF, that is an amazing shot! Yes, food helps... next time I suppose.

My piccies are now also in the gallery !

Andechs Piccies

Even more pics now in the gallery!

Not just me to thank for the shots, a few of us put the cash in together for them!!! I think Canuk, Parrothead, Crawile and JB were also involved in the purchasing in some way

not me, first I knew of it was when you were pouring (and I was laughing, thinking about what state you'd all be in later!)

Great day out in the sun, followed by grilling in my garden with champagne on ice... good times, until we all passed out at 11pm! ;o)

I'm beginning to notice that the picture of me with my head in my hands sitting between quarblotz and DW is a common trend in everyone's gallery. Was I really like that for a long time?

yes.

may be there is a reason after all why the legal drinking age is 21 in the US. American kids can't handle beer

I think most of us were just waiting with cameras in hand for the inevitable downfall (which we knew was coming after the shots were doled out). At least you will not forget your 21st!!!

Hey now... just because BSF passed out, or PTFO'ed, doesnt mean that Americans cant handle their alcohol... he is a DIT... a drinker in training and will soon be at all of our high standards.

I was just checking the gallery and I'm about 99% sure those pictures were taken within seconds of each other.

I forgot my 21st for exactly that reason... I was puking at 9.30pm - missed most of the party cos everyone kept secretly topping up the wine.. That's my excuse anyhoo, an' I'm sticking to it!

Had a great time. Even the hike up with fun this time. (must do it again! much better without the hangover and complaining.)

and now I even have my pic posted. Should I worry! Am I becoming one with TT? Must refrain. Must refrain...must have bier.

@ winegirl
Thanks for starting the Andechs daytrip post. Had a good time, met a lot of people. Hope your friend had a good visit to Munich.

did anyone find a blue jumper ?

Were you there 6783? With a blue jumper? Or are you just asking in general?

Nope... No Jumpers... We talked them all down by bribe'n them with beer...

hee hee...hey DK. They got a good pic of you as well.

Same deal as me. KO'd and in a street gutter by 10pm

All I have to say is that I'm glad I get another chance to do my 21st all over again (when I go back home), because that was a seriously lame showing by me.

yep
