20 Oct 2011 - Day 11 in Korea

After breakfast at Caffe Pascucci, I walked to Myeongdong Station, exit 3.. I turn left after coming out from exit 3.  There will be a split road ahead.  Keep to the right side and  walk up slope.....I passed by Namsan Guest House along the way...



Walking up slope ...I have a feeling that I am taking a longer route to get to Namsan Park but that's ok for me. 

Ginseng?

Passed by here.  Turn to your right at this point of time.

Namsan Park was on my right

Looking from across the road.   That's the way up to Namsan park.

The official walk had only just began....

I wondered why the word "囍" was printed on the lamps...  I thought "囍" was only used for weddings?

Adoring the greens ^^

Changing foliage  ^^

I was so engrossed in taking pictures that I actually missed the signage to Namsan Park.  Overshot quite a bit and I had to retrace my steps...I saw many office workers in their suits and office wear in the park at this hour of the day.   Were they passing by??  Or were they taking a stroll in the park??   How long is their lunch hour??  Don't they feel uncomfortable with their suits and shiny shoes walking on the slopes??  Gees....I am really curious..

I love this!

Angel's feather?

Still very much at the beginning...

Trying its best to grow strong and healthy before cold winter arrives...

Don't think I wanted to walk back to take the cable car...but this could probably be a bad decision...or rather an unforgettable decision made..you will see why...

Oh!!  Three different foliage!  너무 예뻐  ^^

I kept asking myself,"Have I reached the top?"
Nope....I was not there yet...still a distance away...

Looking at the city through a frame of branches

Feeling extremely hot by the time I reached here but the view was awesome.  It was very nice to see the clear blue sky.



Maybe there was cool breeze but I can only remember my hot autumn at Namsan because I really walked a lot...a lot...a lot......Well, I am grateful to be able to check out Namsan in such good weather.  Did I made the wrong decision not to take the cable car??   There's pros and cons in everything.  I don't regret my decision because I could get to take better pictures by walking up my way....hmm...a memorable walk indeed  ㅎㅎㅎ



Continue to climb the stairs....still a long way ahead...

I thought I was almost there but nooo........

Appreciate every moment in life 

What do I call this place?  A signalling tower?   N'Seoul Tower is really not far from here  when you see this ^^
