Arriving in Seoul

Yesterday was a sea day, which gave Becky and me time to do our packing, wash our hair and have a nice 3 course meal at the fancy restaurant.


We hugged goodbye with the 2 couples we've been doing the trivia with and had an early night.

We took the walk off the ship option the following morning and used a private car service to transfer from the cruise port terminal at Incheon to our hotel in downtown Seoul. The traffic in Seoul is crazy and the journey took 2 hours.  We were still too early to check in, so we left our luggage at reception and decided to walk to a palace just down the street.

Unfortunately,  there was a note on the gates saying this palace is closed until 2nd June. so we walked on to a shopping area where there was a Lottemart hypermarket. 



The place was huge and it took us ages to walk around. At this point Becky's illness caught up with her again and it took us a while to get back to the hotel as we kept having to stop at coffee shops to rest.  

On the subject of coffee shops I've seen 3 Tim Hortons here so far!

Once we made it back to the hotel and checked in, Becky went to bed for the rest of the day.
