Friday 6th October

A very quiet day, due to it being a national holiday - so most of the shops were closed for the early part of the day, its a sort of family day where everybody visits their family bearing gifts and presents, usually rice cakes or enormous apples or pears.

Late on in the day we met David and went to Wolmido which is a seaside resort and port.

Lots of fishermen (as you can see from the picture) and fish restaurants here, but we had decided to go to China town in Incheon, this was the worst meal we have had here in South Korea, and the most expensive.

Afterwards we walked up the hill to see a statue of General MacArthur, who on behalf of the USA helped to liberate the people of South Korea, apparantly they have to guard the statue 'cos there have been threats to destroy it. It's a funny old world.

Oh yes I booked up the hotel for when we leave here on Monday morning - at least I think I have 'cos the couple on reception spoke no English and I spoke even less Korean.
