So anyway, I'm now on our Third Day! Yay! I will be posting two parts for this day since it was a Long
One! Hehe! Here's Part ONE:
On our Third day, we've decided to just stroll around the city. We've started our day early and first went to Gyeongbokgung Palace. You can take the train in going here since it's literally in the middle of the city, with it's own station. One of the things that we love when travelling in a foreign country is the fact that we can actually take the public transportation, which we don't get to do in the Philippines.
There are a lot of Palace around Seoul,so you have to choose the ones that you would like to explore. As for us, we were torn between Gyeongbokgung (The Largest Palace) and Changdeokgung Palace (The one with a secret garden). However, we chose Gyeongbokgung since it holds more history.
(Trivia: It was in Gyeongbokgung where the first source of Electricity in Korea was generated via the big Hall located inside the Palace. This was also where the Royals held their parties before; will show you the pics later)
We strolled around the palace; but since it was already our second time (my mom,dad,sister,and I) we just took a rest, and let my brother and sister-in-law to roam around hehe. It was really a perfect day to just sit down and enjoy the cold weather. It was not really full-time spring yet when we came, so there were not too many cherry blossoms this time as compared to our first visit. But still, the palace looked great and it was just really the perfect day! Here are the pics from palace:
( if you want to see the change of palace guards, go to gyeongbokgung around noon or before noon hehe)
( the hall behind us is the one that I mentioned above, which is the first source of electricity in Seoul)

Xoxo,
