Today we are taking a tour that I booked on a website called Viator.

We got picked up at our Hotel Lobby at 8.25.
We had to pick up a few people on the way.. a older couple of U.S.A and Australia. And people from the Philippines.
After the pick up we went to Jogyesa Temple.

After a short stay we headed to the National Museum and we passed by The blue house where the president stays.. but South Korea has no president now.. on Tuesday the 9th they have to vote for a new president and they get a free day to do that... wish we got that too when we have to vote 🤣
We got off to visit the national museum. Its crowded because it is childrens Day.. So a lot of booth where stalled out with activities for childrens.
Then we headed to Gyeongbokgung Palace.. Its next to the museum. Because of childrens day which is a national day in South Korea a lot of people had a day off..
We than got to see the guard changing in front of the Palace.
It was really interesting.
Before we had lunch we visited the Gingseng Center the place they always let you visit when you are taking a tour.
I saw posters of the kdrama serie Saimdang.
We had our lunch at Insadong. The famous street with historic Korean souvenirs and a lot of people walked in Hanbok, Korean traditional clothes.
After dinner we got time to walk around.. but it was crazy crowded... people everywhere and today it was a really hot day.
At Ssamziegil in Insadong where you can find little shops that has handmade products. Its hard to walk there and to look inside the shops because it's too small... but we still found something beautiful..
A constellation rings with our zodiac Gemini and Cancer.
We got a whole hour to walk around the street of insadong.
Then we went to Namsangol Hanok Village. Where it was also crowded with stalls of activities for childrens.
Our last stop of our tour was N Seoul Tower.
There were lots of food trucks it was hard to choose.

It was easier to walk down than up.
Overall, the tour was interesting... but we went through it like a speed bullet train.
We had short and limit time to explore the places. I wish he gave us folders about the places so we can read about it afterwards. Kevin, our tourguide did a good job.. but it could have been a little better.
We were brought back to the hotel. And we wanted to fresh ourselves up... but we fell asleep before we went to Dongdaemun Design Park for the Bamdokkaebi Night Market... when we got there it was already crowded and a long lines at the foodtrucks.
Our first foodtrack had beefslicrs with fries and salad.
Second foodtrack is lamb's rack which was delicious.
There were lots of food trucks it was hard to choose.
Last thing we ate was Green Tea Churros. Everything was so delicious.
We met some friends who are going home tomorrow.
It was really nice to see them here and fun to hang out with.
It was a really long day we are supertired. Tomorrow we have a free day so we will taking it slow. We still got jetlag.
