Asia Trip 2023 Day 11 - Until the Next One

Even though we are flying home today our flight isn’t until 7:15 PM so we had a few remaining hours to take in Seoul before we head home. Don’t tell Jenn that she didn’t want to get out of bed today but reluctantly did after I brought her Starbucks in bed and helped pack up the last few remaining items.

This was our first time on the subway in Seoul and after we figured out how to get the tickets the rest was relatively straightforward.

Asia Trip 2023 Day 10 - Deep in Wondering Thought

Today marks the last day of our trip. It’s hard to imagine that we’ve already reached it but then again Jenn got to Tokyo five days before I did so she’s had a much longer trip.

We left our hotel room a little after 7 AM and grabbed drinks and pastries at Starbucks before we met our tour guide Vincent downstairs at 8 AM. Today we had an 8-hour Northern Taiwan tour that would take us about an hour north of Taipei. We got in Vincent’s Mitsubishi and were off.
