Day trip - Mt Seorak, Nami Island & More

Day trip! This time a minivan to Mt Seorak, Nami Island and Garden of Morning Calm. While you only get a limited visit to each site instead of the full days you can devote to each, it's a great taste of several cool places.

At Mt Seorak, we had 3 hiking options to choose from. I chose the trail to see the yellow rocks which is one of the most recognizable spots in the park. There's 2 parts to the trail and the 2nd will actually take you right to the rock, however we were advised against it giving the time restraint and it's actually quite steep. Another choice had pretty waterfalls along the way, but those that took it said there wasn't much water.

Nami Island was recommended by my sister, and it's quite cute to walk around and have lunch there. Or you can have the famous BBQ chicken in the area before boarding the boat to Nami. Fans of Winter Sonata will note the filming locations. You can even overnight on the island.

Our last stop, Garden of Morning Calm is quite tranquil. While not all the flowers were in bloom, it was still pretty to visit. There were great photo spots as well and a great end to the end.

Dinner - I finally made it to a restaurant. This one close to the hotel for beef bone soup. Yum!Read more
