Seoul, Korea Day 5 Part I // Namiseom Island 남이섬 //


So I finally found the time to continue with my korea travelogues and I hope I can finish writing about it asap! So much things to blog!

Day 5 of the trip saw us going to Nami Island and Petite France, both quite nearby each other! But I shall split to two entries since I have so much photos it will be quite a waste not putting it up here!

Dearie's sis woke up feeling unwell so his mum stayed back to look after her and the two of us ventured out to the above attractions after countless reassurance from them that they will be fine on their own.

We were out and about at 8.30am in the morning, which is 7.30am in Sg time! Reached the train station to buy our train tickets which will take us to Gapyeong before changing to a bus heading towards Nami Island!

Tickets bought!

Our quick breakfast! It was quite a cosy feeling munching sandwiches while waiting for the train at the platform. Heh. 

Train came!

Two excited human!

And we were on our way! Scenaries along the way..

Snow everywhere!

It was about 45 to an hour's journey so the boy caught some sleep! Im too excited to nap so I...

took selfies. Haha! Skin always look soo good overseas!

Reached!

Oh nothing, just playing with snow... heh..

Feeling it~

Our bus tickets which allows us to hop on/off several destinations!

Alighted after 10 minutes of bus journey and we transferred to a ferry to bring us across to Namiseom! It was only a 5-10 minutes ride away!

Full length mirror calls for a couple ootd. Heh.

Went out to the deck to take some photos!

Melted ice on the surface~


And we are finally here!

Just a little background info about Nami Island..

Namiseom Island was formed as a result of the construction of the Cheongpyeong Dam. It is a half moon shaped isle, and on it is the grave of General Nami, who led a great victory against the rebels in the 13th year of the 7th king of the Koseon Dynasty, King Sejo. (credits to Wikipedia)

Nami Island quickly became one of the famous attractions for tourist to visit after people found out that Winter Sonata was filmed here.

Lots of tourists and Koreans!

Christmas mood in the air!

Entrance tickets!

Trying to imitate the statues heh.

Someone trying to play with his life. He's standing on top of the frozen pond...

Weather was pretty sunny with blue skies but it was a freaking -13 degrees! Even heat pads couldn't help much to relieve the coldness..

Wefie in the igloo!

And alot more out of the igloo haha.


Seeking some warmth at the wood fire pit. It was a god send in the chilly weather! 

Some boards telling the story of Nami Island~

Lots of huts restaurants~

We had our lunch in one of those restaurants!

Continued exploring thereafter!

Found a Singapore flag in a foreign land!

The very famous statues of the leads in Winter Sonata!

People came here for the view of these rows and rows of pine trees! Although they were bare, but it was quite a pretty sight to behold with the thick snow in contrast! All the same same but different photos below hehe.

Another spot for the fans of the drama!

Our legs were giving way so we dropped by a cafe! So thankful to avoid the cold even if it's for a while!

My handsome *.*

Selfie with my cup of latte!


We chillax-ed in the cafe until it was time to move and catch the bus to bring us to Petite france! We did not really finish touring the entire Nami Island but it was enough memories for us to bring back home :) We stayed there for approx 3-4hrs? Hehe!


And here is one of our favourite photo taken in the island

Always feeling lucky and blessed to see the world with you, and creating all these memories we can call our own
