Seoul

A long weekend in Seoul in May, flying KLM via Amsterdam on an airmiles run.

The first night was spent around Sungnyemun, the great south gate, floodlit among the office towers. Then a full day on foot: along the Cheonggyecheon stream, where egrets fish in the middle of the city, up Gwanghwamun Square past King Sejong to Gyeongbokgung, with its painted eaves, the throne hall and the Hyangwonjeong pavilion on its pond. The afternoon was more palaces, peonies, and the old glasshouse at Changgyeonggung. On the last morning we climbed into the hills for the views back over the city, then headed home.
