The Weather
Seems that a common memory for my many European holidays over the past ten years has been sheltering from torrential rain in the shadow of some building. I remember it happening in Stockholm a couple of years ago, in Vienna, Copenhagen and Prague, and probably the last time I was in Munich.
I went to see the Schloss Nymphenburg this morning, a pretty eighteenth century palace, and it was almost sunny. Still not hot, but in the upper teens. Afterwards, I decided to walk over to the Olympic Park, which turned out to be gearing up for the X-games. As I left, the clouds looked ominous and I decided to head back to my hotel. Before I got there, it started to rain. I stopped at a crossroads to check my route and a woman on a bicycle asked me where I was heading. I said the railway station, as my hotel is right next to it, and she advised me to take a tram. I thought it didn't seem that far on the map and walked it, and got soaked.
