Arrived in Incheon Airport and excited to be in Korea. Arrivals process went smoothly and flight took a little over nine hours.
Everyone enjoyed their first Korean dinner of beef bone broth. It was a perfect ending to a long travel day.
We have been having fun playing in the rain in at Mt. Seoraksan National Park. Group was fine with the rain because the air was comfortable and the fog gave the mountains a mystical look.
Mt. Seorak National Park
Ended the day last night with a shabu shabu dinner!
The strawberry picking was fun and everyone got to take with them a tray of their pickings. We also got to try the light colored berries (Pine Berries) which were sweet and creamy.
Pine Strawberries, better than the red ones!
After walking through the Andong Hanoi Village we made and decorated Korean masks. The room got very quiet with all the concentration!
Gyeongju National Museum, a museum largely devoted to relics of the Silla kingdom, of which Gyeongju was the capital.
We enjoyed our fresh fish lunch before shopping.
