Korea Day #3

-20111121-

It's our 3rd day in Seoul, South Korea. Since we didn't make it to the Nami Island Tour yesterday, we were still lucky to have it re-booked on this day.

Nami is a small island which is perfect for those who want to relax and take an afternoon walk around a beautiful scenery. This place is very popular among Koreans and can be seen in most Korean dramas (i.e. Winter Sonata). Going to Nami Island, we took a shuttle bus from Insadong which costs 21,000 won. From the port to the island itself, tourists have to ride a ferry.

There were also other activities on the island. There were bikes for rent. There are also villas available for tourists who want to stay overnight. There are souvenir shops and restaurants. Foods on the island were a bit pricey so we only had sandwiches for lunch.

What's for lunch?

After our Nami Island tour, we went shopping again at Insadong for our "pasalubongs". Then we headed to Hangang River because we wanted to try the night cruise. Unfortunately, there were no schedules for the cruise on that day. So since we were already in that area, we decided to go to 63 City instead.

63 City is Korea's tallest and most recognized building with 63 floors and has a spectacular view of the Hangang River.

It was already late when we arrived 63 City so we didn't have time to go to any of the following: 63 Sea World, 63 Sky Deck, 63 IMAX Theater, 63 Sky Art, and 63 Wax Museum. And to maximize our stay in this building, we just ate dinner at the food court.

This was indeed a very tiring day! But we surely did enjoy all the activities we had! :)
