Last day in Seoul
We start our day with packing, relaxing and making sure we have everything as we have a very long 48H in front of us. At 11.00 we take the taxi to Seoul station from which we will leave to the airport tonight. Our main challenge is finding storage lockers which will fit all our luggage.…

DMZ
We booked a DMZ tour for today as we visited so much of Seoul already and as the UN zone between the Korea’s is mysterious, so why not check it out ourselves? The bus leaves at 7.30 from Hongik metro station so we leave our apartment at 6.30. We forgot to charge our transport cards…

Palace and museum run in Seoul
We all enjoy our beds and the fact that it’s one hour earlier, this way it seems like we get an hour extra sleep. Tim gets up early and uses the rooftop to his advantage for some aerial reconnaissance. We eat breakfast at 8.30 and leave before 9.00 to visit our first palace with as…

Driving back to Seoul on Childrens Day
Today is children day in Korea, to promote children rights and their value to society. And for all of you who are amazed that it all goes smooth during our holiday as a young family, that’s not true of course. We just don’t focus on all the spills, cries and scenes that are also part…

A sunny day at Gongju fort, tombs and palaeolithic festival
We have one of the most basic breakfast buffets ever: water, coffee, toast and egg. But at least the children are happy, and we are also happy, because at least we get something to eat. And also in general, because of all the time we spent together. Cleo who learns navigating (being extremely strict with…

We have a crazy schedule today, but that does not prevent Tim from his bonus morning programme and taking the final pictures of photogenic Jeonju. After our favourite banana oatmeal breakfast we pack our bags and leave at 8:45. Our first stop are the ancient royal tombs. The Neungsan-ri Ancient Tombs were the royal tombs…

First, we go to the 310.00 square meters Juknokwom bamboo forest at the edge of Gwangju. It’s lush and green, there are…
