Day 10 - Seoul: Nami Island


today, we headed off to nami island!
we moved out from our hotel early and took the subway to yongsan train station (10-15mins by subway). from here, we took the ITX train to gapyeong station which we've already booked the tickets online back in SG. you can change the timing here at the station if you wish to take the train earlier or later at no extra costs.
 
the journey took us like an hour from yongsan. upon reaching gapyeong station, just hop onto the shuttle bus or taxi to the ferry terminal  for nami island.
for us, we didn't want to wait around for the shuttle bus so we opted for the taxi which makes more sense for our family at 4 - just a short 10mins drive at less than S$6.
 
at the ferry terminal, we bought the tickets (inclusive of both ferry ride and entrance fees).

remember to come to nami island early. we reached around 10+am and though there were people but its manageable and you can take some decent shots. by the time we left around 3+pm, it was swarmed with tour groups and what's nots. madness.

we reached nami island!
 
there were animals on nami island - some which roam free like squirrels, peacocks, rabbits etc. and others enclosed like ostriches so the boys had some close encounters with them.
don't think nami is at its prettiest the time we were there. most of the trees were bare getting ready for winter.. ha. 

the boys enjoying snacks like hotdogs, ice-cream along the way

nami island is very kids friendly as no smoking allowed on the island in general and it has playground and family bicycle rental etc

in short, an island which you can easily spend half a day on and great scenery for photo-taking

we headed back to seoul city the same way - taxi to gapyeong station, ITX train back to yongsan station. from there we took subway to city hall area to walk around abit (more tea breaks..) before heading back to myeongdong for dinner.

we went back to the wangbijib which BBQ is good but I find it too pricey. tomorrow im going to my fav. BBQ place in samcheongdong!
