Seoul

---

It's Tuesday night. Girls are asleep and Ken is having a massage.
After a good send off at Wellington airport and repacking the bags after I was paged and told my bag was too heavy (can't beleive it was my bag) we arrived in Auckland, settled in and had a good night out with Ken's old school friend Colin. A good catch up and an early night.

We all managed the flight well considering it was a full day flight and no little tvs. I read a whole book and the iPods were great.

Seoul is great. We're staying in a lovely place and have been upgraded to the Penthouse Suite for some unknown reason. So very spacious which is very good considering how much stuff we have. Went for a big walk today - in completly the opposite direction to that which we thought. Lucy was tired and we thought it was going to be a total meltdown but not quite. Too hot for her (29degrees). Went through a shrine and a Palace both of which were very cool and peaceful and wandered through some shops. Girls bought some minature china food - Lucy very excited, she'd spotted it last night when we went for a walk.
Had coffee/iced tea in a traditional Korean tea house (and odd cake things). Back for a swim then dinner at the Korean restaurant in the hotel. No-one spoke English and we made a reasonable attempt to order. Was cooked in front of us and miraculously everyone ate something and we all enjoyed it.
Tomorrow Ken is off to the demilitarised zone and the girlls and I plan to viisit the Palace and Museum we were heading for today and do a bit more shopping.

Will get used to this blogging I guess, a bit different from emails. Will try to add a picture or two.
