Oct 29 evening

Well it was a long flight from Bangkok to Seoul---well at least it seemed that way as we got to the airport at 5pm local time and didn't fly out until 3am the next day. We arrived in Seoul just before lunch and decided it was best just to stay a day here and leave on Sunday --getting into Toronto by 10 something Sunday morning.

There was a free city tour of Seoul so a new lady friend and I hopped on the bus and ........well it really wasn't a city tour but we did drive over a hour went over a bridge that was 23klm long and visited an old gold mine that has been taken over by the city and made into a historical/amusement area for the local children and tourist trap. We walked up the side of the mountain to walk thru this very interesting / comical old gold mine---but if you walk up you then descend only  walk up what seems even more stairs!!! Then we came home. The country side could of been any hilly tree covered area in Canada or the USA and the manly new apt complexes could of been a smaller  version of what we saw in China.

The "Lord of the Cave" was made by the same group of artists in New Zealand that did the set for the "Hobbit and Lord of the Rings"  must say they did do a great job.
