Arrived in Korea

What a trip we had, everything went well, taxi turned up, tube from Cockfosters to Heathrow - no problems, went straight through no baggage problems, then sat on the plane for 2 hours, every 20 minutes there was an announcement - delays.

Eventually off we flew to Doha, could not fault the flight except the delay - but that was down to Heathrow.

Arrived in Doha - 29c - of course the connection to Soeul had gone, but we were put on a flight to Hong Kong - always wanted to go to HK.

Then we had to transfer to another flight to Soeul, a rep from Cathay Pacific was there waiting for us - very impressed, then off we flew again - didn't see much of HK, except through the window.

Arrived in Soeul, - only three hours late - amazing.

So would David be there, yes of course he was - after a quick search of the airport arrivals. It was really good to see him.

Then onto the bus, then a taxi and suddenly we were at David's appartment. We stayed the night - he made us most welcome - giving up his bed to sleep on the floor.

Next mornay - Monday 2nd October - David went off to work and we went exploring - on David's advice of course we found a lovely park and stream to walk along, the day was spent relaxing and taking in the sun.

Tonight David took us for our first real Korean meal, we had snacked of course a hot dog in bread and crab stick in something similar. Well we had beef in a sort of stew which we cooked on the table in front of us - oh we sat on the floor and splashed the soup about a lot.

Then got a cab to our hotel, check it out at

It really is impressive.

Oh well that's it for now - CYA...
