추석

The first place I visited in Seoul a few years back now was Geoungbukgung, this palace. At the time I didn't realise it was the palce on the 10,000 won note (about $10) Woogi and I trying to go to all the places on the money and I wanted to go back.. This is the second place we've got to. It's a nice place in the middle of Seoul. A security guard told Woogi he was a trouble maker cos he lay down on a bench for a rest! Maybe a trouble maker but a very nice one!

The next part of our Thanksgiving holiday (추

적) was with 13 others on an island about an hour and a half away from Seoul, Dokjokdo. Ah, beach, relaxation and fun!


Chatting on the beach.


Lizzies gone up a couple of cup sizes!

Our potluck bbq. We had so much food that we had another bbq the next night.

The next day we went for a hike.

Ian found a very long snake skin but no snake to be seen.

We met a Korean family at the top and had photo's taken together. They were very nice but a bit hesitant about the snake skin.

Woogi and I went for a walk to see the people fishing. We came across 3 older people and they invited us to eat sushi from the fish they had just caught. It was delicious. They then took us for a spin on their boat. It was such a nice surprise. There are kind people everywhere.

Leigh, Lisa and Bianca giving themselves a bit of mud!

Ian, Lizzie and Carla relaxing.

It was really good to meet some new people and hang out. I was absolutely stuffed when I got home. Lots of sun, food, alcohol and not much sleep. Back to work now :-(
