July 14: Climbing 14 floors to the top of St. Peter’s for a panoramic view of the city was first on my list, then shopping at the Viktualienmarkt. With temps reaching 90˚, finding shade was a priority in the afternoon. After some quality pool time, I checked out the Munich Goth scene at Club Nerodom, and found welcoming people and great music, making me feel right at home.
