Seoul

Decided to finish this leg of trip at Beijing.  Realised that China requires a separate, a much longer trip altogether. Cannot afford it on this occasion - budget wise as well as time..15 day visa just is not enough..

A shame but flew into Seoul from there rather than using the train and boat - for a couple of reasons..fatigue and impatience (1day+half vs 2hours) just in time for Korean mid-Autumn celebrations..
But...Overland-only trip..almost...so close..arrrgghh..

Incredible how quickly the last two months and a half went by.  I wish I could carry on!

Now back to reality; although not without excitement, since Korea is also unfamiliar. Planning to explore it - a new mini trip.. to the places I haven't seen; which there are many!
