I'm writing this blog wondering what words I can use to try and describe what it's like in this amazing city of 14.5 million.
I'm noticing how my senses are on full alert...
- trying to absorb so many sights,
- find our way around,
- think about our safety (lots of hand holding with C which he is normally not keen on these days but happily stays connected amongst huge crowds),
- negotiate - physically (lots of steps, uneven surfaces,and cars/trams/taxis/people/ cats) and purchases!
- find food - we are adjusting to city prices after being in Marmaris region it's a bit of a shock
We walked the Galata Bridge this afternoon and it was like I imagined India would be - Grant described it as a mosh pit and that feels about as good as I could do.
