// April 6th, 2009 // No Comments » // Random
In two days, my family and I will be heading off to South Korea for the lenten holidays and I literally can’t wait! I haven’t been to Korea yet so it’ll be great exploring a new place with a different language and culture. Check out our itinerary:
- Day 1: MANILA/INCHEON
Upon arrival at the airport, meet guide and proceed to local restaurant for dinner then transfer to hotel for check-in.
- Day 2: INCHEON/EVERLAND/STRAWBERRY FARM
After breakfast at hotel, proceed to Everland Theme Park w/ passport ticket (Korea’s best theme park and 4th best in the world) consisting of Safari World, daily events and shows and also 40 other latest attractions. Then next stop would be a visit to Strawberry Farm where you can experience strawberry picking and taste some afterwards. Experience Kimchi Making and Hanbok wearing before transfer to Mt. Seorak for check-in.
- Day 3: MT. SEORAK/NAMI ISLAND/SEOUL
After breakfast at resort, visit Shioheungsa Temple with Grand Bronze Buddha and Gwongennseong Fortress by cable car. Transfer to Nami Island (Winter Sonata shooting place) by ferry. Transfer back to Seoul for check-in.
- Day 4: DAEJANGGEUM/JUMP/COEX AQUARIUM
After breakfast at hotel visit Daejanggeum Theme Park (Jewel in the Palace shooting place). Return to Seoul and enjoy Jump Performance (a new Korean hit show that will bring fun to everyone). Then visit Ginseng COEX Aquarium and be fascinated with the number marine species we have. Then spend the rest of your day at the underground shopping mall of COEX with lots of different things to choose from.
- Day 5: SEOUL CITY TOUR/DEPARTURE
After breakfast at hotel, proceed to Seoul City Tour which include visits to the Kyungbok Palace, National Folklore Museum, pass by the Presidential Blue House, Amethyst Factory, pass by Vimjunoro Cherry Blossom Street, free time shopping at Myeongdong Street with a visit to Myeongdong Cathedral. Transfer to Incheon Airport for departure via Korean Food and Souvenir Shop.
I’m really really excited about this trip. I know that with barely 5 days, we won’t be able to even scratch the surface of South Korea but it’ll be a start. I’m not even sure about the spelling of half the places because my copy of the faxed itinerary is really really bad. Nevertheless, it sure looks like an activity-packed and exciting vacation to me. :-)
