Comments
of a visitor of Golden Oldies 2007
I spent last
weekend at the 1950s festival ‘Golden Oldies’ in Wettenberg in Germany.
It was my
first time and definitely not my last. I have actually prebooked my hotel
in Gießen for
2008. It was
a fantastic experience. Great live bands playing from Friday at 8pm. Some
silent hours
Saturday and
Sunday otherwise loads of great music and great dance. Plenty of good food
and
beer too.
Despite a thousands of visitors and alcohol I could not see one drunk person.
Not one
police or
any fighting people. The second great thing was the large number of ‘Golden
Oldies’,
that is old
cars but in pristine condition. My main reason to go was the 1950s fashion.
That is my
passion. Thousands
of petticoated ladies in billowing skirts. You could buy all kind of items
both
from stalls
outdoor and in a hall. If you want to experience something great I can
not recommend
enough to
visit Golden Oldies.
It is easy
to go to Wettenberg. My flight was from London Heathrow to Frankfurt Airport.
Arriving
to theairport
I bought a train ticket to Gießen (twintown to Winchester where I
live). I changed train
in Frankfurt.
The ticket was €12.50. From Gießen train station left dedicated
buses for the festival.
A day ticket
was €1. The entrance to the festival €9 and if you paid Friday
the ticket was valid for all
three days.
I call that Value for Money. You will have three great days with everything
that make life
worth living.
I will add photos in my Flickr.com account and upload a video at Youtube.
