the trip is coming to an end. It is Wednesday evening for me and I’m pretty exhausted as I write this. yesterday I did one of the walking tours in my guidebook. I chose the most difficult walk, but the one with the most reward at the end
I walked up at least 300 steps yesterday on my walk up to Seoul Tower. Seoul Tower is the giant radio tower that sits on top of one of the mountains within the city. It has restaurants in it and an observation deck and you can get a panoramic view of the city. I of course chose the day mother nature decided to turn up the heat again, but I was ok with that since it has been awhile since my clothes were soaked thru with sweat! Once I had walked up at least 100 steps in the beginning I was tempted to take the cable car ride up the rest of the way. But I figured I’d worked that hard to get where I was, I may as well keep going. So I did, and I took the cable car on the way down. That was a neat little treat too.
The view from the top was extraordinary. 10+million people in a city and it sprawls all around, but not really as much as you would expect since a majority of the folks here live in high rise apartment type buildings. The day was a hazy one so I couldn’t see as far as I would have liked, but it was pretty impressive none the less!
