Today we visited the main palace (Geongbokgung) of the Joseon Dynasty. This palace was bigger than the other palaces we visited and had some impressive views as well.
There was a group of small statues near the folk museum where you could find what animal is associated with the year that you were born in the Chinese Zodiac calendar. Beth and Matt were the “year of the pig”. I was the “year of the monkey”! Maybe that’s why I like bananas so much.
After that we explored more back alleys in the Insadong district. It’s amazing how many restaurant/tea houses are tucked away down these tiny alleyways in Seoul.
At night, we visited the North Seoul tower which gave us impressive views of Seoul at night. After that we went back to Itaewon district behind the Hamilton hotel to get a burger. The amount of watering holes in that area was amazing.
The pictures are beautiful, it’s like you are in a different world.
You all look like you are very cold. We had a couple of days like that
and today is supposed to be in the 60’s. Looking forward to seeing you soon. Love to all….
Yes, it is very cold now. We were very fortunate to have good weather early in the week. We winding down now. Last day. See you when we get back.
