The Grinch(es) take Seoul for Christmas

The hotel offered no breakfast so we had bought some 'stuff' from the supermarket across the road the night before. When we opened the curtains it was snowing! Very gently, and not enough to land, but it looked beautiful blowing around outside our room.

Hamee and his Sonata were waiting downstairs when we came out of the lift. We sat in the lobby and worked out a rough plan - south and east day one, north and wherever day two.

Destination one was the Osulloc Team Museum OSULLOC TEA MUSEUM. Both concerned this was nothing but a shopping stop and it kind of was, and kind of wasn't.

then across the road into the architecturally stunning museum (and shop). We found the whole place lovely - the museum interesting, the buildings beautiful

including a room I would not normally take a picture in

and a cafe/shop with the most delicious treats

then it was on to Yongmeorihaean Coast (용머리해안) where if you squint and cough three times, the headland looks like a dragon. It was quite a spectacular sandstone headland that was a tad non-HSE.

There were a couple of women divers there selling their morning's catch/gather

Yongmeorihaean Coast (용머리해안) continued. Bizarrely we were pelted with sleet/micro hail as we were walking back to Hamee and the car.

Camellia Hill next. Again, not really our thing and this time, not really our thing. Hamee let us know how long we should take but we were back at the car way sooner
