Heidi & Richard Bendel's travels

18 November, 2006

We started the day getting a cab to the business centre of the city to organize our Japan Rail train pass (which has to be organized outside of Japan) and our Voyager flight ticket. We were very successful and then we met with Mr Kim and his family, (my friend Alex’s friend). He arrived to fetch us and we visited Gyeongbokgung, the primary Palace of the Joseon Dynasty. It was very interesting and we walked around the gardens and visited the folk museum. Rich started to feel terrible so we left and spent the rest of the afternoon in a wonderful Korean restaurant eating great food with Mr Kim and his family. Now I understand why they stay so slim. The food is really healthy and there are lots of vegetables and no breads. They dropped us off at the hotel and it was time to relax and do nothing. Rich has to get better quickly because we have a long day planned for tomorrow.
