Nami Island

So we dropped the bags and move to our first schedule- to do the Nami Island Tour. We decided to take the Gapyeong tour bus that'll take us to Petite France, Garden of the Morning Calm and back. We reserved the whole day for today's tour since we want to do everything free and easy!

To Gapyeong

First, we needed to reach Gapyeong, it was quite a long ride, and since we left hotel a little late, we arrived almost noontime.

• From KPOP Hotel, ride the Hoehyeon to Seoul Station  ; 21 mins
• From Seoul, transfer train to Hoegi Station
• From Hoegi take train  to Gapyeong Station, travel is about 1 hr and 7 mins (15 stops) 

After exiting the station, you'll find the tourist bus across it, simply use your T-money to pay for the ticket for KRW6,000 and you're good to go. Remember to keep the ticket as this is valid for 1 day. Driver would need to check the ticket every bus entry.

Our first stop is Nami Island of course, but we were starving this time, so first some lunch before taking the ferry to Nami.  Funny but our fist official meal is a pizza @ Master Coffee. This will do, for now. 

So after lunch, we simply cross the road to the ferry terminal to get ticket to bring us to the next island, a mere 10 min trip to Nami. 

Round trip ferry ticket costs KRW 13,000 

And were onboard the ferry..

Of course I've read about Nami Island because it was the famous film location for Winter Sonata, and many other KDrama films. I'm looking forward to personally experience the Autumn weather,  Gingko trees and simply enjoy the Korean nature vibe the garden offers.

And boy, Nami Island did not disappoint! Such a huge garden with pretty pretty Autumn colors of red and yellow.

and here they are..the love that is Winter Sonata 

We strolled around the garden, and we found more interesting spots to take photos. After we thought we had enough of photos, and by afternoon when it was a bit difficult to take photos because of the crowd, we hopped on to the next available ferry back and to our next stop to Petite France.
