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. We departed the hotel after 10 AM and made our way to Gwangjang Market on the subway. 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.

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 woke up this morning with those last-day vibes, sleeping in, and soaking up every last second of the trip. We went down to Starbucks at 10 AM and got our normal hot chocolate and iced caramel macchiato. From there we grabbed a Taxi for our first stop of the day Leeum Museum of Art. 

Today marks our last tour of this trip and it's the one we were both most excited for. After getting room service a little after 6 AM (a bread basket with orange juice and coffee) we met our tour guide Tiger in the lobby to start an 8+ hour tour to the DMZ.

We’ve traveled enough to understand that the first day in any city has its own unique set of challenges and today in Seoul was no different. We opted not to go with a tour today and instead wanted to experience Seoul on our own.

After a mediocre night of sushi, we woke up hungry for a new day this morning. We left our room a little after 8 AM and went to grab some drinks at Starbucks and a cinnamon roll to split. We took it to-go and had them in our room at the Shangri-La where we finished packing and got ready to take our car to Taoyuan International Airport.

We woke up this morning at 4:00 AM, so we obviously haven't fully transitioned to the Chinese time zone. That gave Jenn and I time to go over photos from the previous day and get ready for today. Originally we had planned to go to the Great Wall but after talking to the concierge he recommended to go on Sunday for less crowds and better weather, so we obliged. So instead today was all about continuing our touring from yesterday, but this time using the subways.
