Despite the beauty and charm, I could find myself bridling at being in a crowd as we wended our way along narrow alleys. Moreover, with these things, there is the constant threat of getting lost and being left behind.
Movie stars lived in this place. I could see a wedding going on. An Asian lady with unnaturally enhanced padding on certain strategic body parts was being photographed by a professional. It was difficult to stop and take a breath as people pushed from behind. Stopping to explore a shop, or for a meal, felt impossible as I tried to take it all in, carefully monitoring the time.
