Seoul | Day 03

170715

"Sight-seeing" was the theme of our third day in Seoul. We woke up to a noisy air conditioner, actually freezing a little from the cold breeze, and got ourselves ready. After packing our breakfast and Malene's camera, we took the metro straight to Insadong (not really straight, because we went to the wrong train station and got lost quite a few times). Eventually, we found our way to Insadong, had some cold coffee (feeling a little refreshed, because it was actually blazing hot) and went over to the tourist information to get a map. Following the red line that an employee of the tourist information had drawn for us, we arrived at 조계사 (Jogyesa Buddhist Temple). Being totally mesmerized by the scenery, we spent quite some time wandering around and actually chatting to some Koreans. A woman even gave us rice cakes, so we wouldn't have to be hungry in the hot weather (we cried a little after she left). Afterward we strolled around in Insadong, Bukchon Hanok Village and Changdeokgung Palace. Approximate 8 hours of walking in about 30° left us extremely tired and while watching some Korean TV back in the hotel, we planned the following day.
