Anniversary

After we went to Nami Island, we went into the country and mountains more to a great pension. See, Koreans don't typically stay in hotels they normally stay in what is called a pension. Pensions are little condo type houses that you can rent. They come fully furnished, and are great getaways. We stayed at Sunnyside pension which included an in house hot-tub and a huge deck where we could grill out. The deck was larger than our first apartment in Korea! It was great, and I swung many hours in the porch swing. I was really happy! Chris just loved the hot tub and stayed in their most of the time. It was really fun to get away though, and it was the first time that we saw stars in 2 years! I know many people take that for granted, but when you live in the second largest city in the world, you don't get that many stars. Above are some pictures of where we stayed.

Nami Island

Chris and I had a long weekend at the beginning of June, and so we decided to celebrate our anniversary a little bit early. For our trip, we took a speed train out to the where Nami is. Nami is an island that is actually located in the middle of a river in Korea. It is really nice, and basically is a big part with biking and walking trails, and cute little shops and restaurants. While on the island, we ate at a nice Italian restaurant, and then rented some bicycles to ride around the island. To give you an estimate. It takes about 20 minutes to bike full-circle around the island. Pictures are above.

Zip Line to Nami Island

Above you will see pictures from the Zip Line at Nami Island. We went up this tall tower, and then rode down a zip line, over a river, to Nami. It was really high up and defiantly an interesting experience. Yet, truthfully, I think our hopes were set too high and we were a little disappointed with the ride. It was an experience though! Next time we will just take the ferry boat.
