Shopping, getting lost and the Trick Eye museum

Changed rooms this morning at the agency today finally getting the room we had booked back in October (having kicked out friends of Michelle and Brendan's who were in the room - the Pirotti's from Carlton). Once we had organised for our luggage to be transferred to our new room we headed out to Myeongdeong for a little retail therapy. This area is one of the fashion districts in Korea so the boys had a great time wandering through the shops and underground markets - checking out what was on offer.

Purchases made, street food eaten for lunch and then off to Namdeamun market - although this was slightly hindered by the drizzling rain all day. It was very humid and we got wet but it was still fun. We will head back then on a drier day for some serious shopping.

We then headed back to the agency - the long way because we got a tad lost - and spent a lazy late afternoon chatting with the other families staying here before heading out for tea at Hongik again and then we visited the Trick Eye museum and Ice museum - which were both lots of fun. 

We are now back at the guest house - early start tomorrow as we are off to the DMZ with the other three families staying at the agency. Have always wanted to do it but never been able to organise it so when the others suggested we come along as they had extra seats on the bus they had booked we jumped at the chance.

One last point - I have finally changed the strings of the blog so you should now be able to post comments - sorry to anyone who had tried and been frustrated!
