I will sum up Day 7 & 8

Day 7:
Tosokchon
Gyeongbokgung Palace
Hondae - Hello Kitty Cafe
Namdaemun Market

Day 8:
Prepare to go home
Last minute shop at Lotte Mart

On Day 7 we woke up early to go Tosokchon, the famous place to have their Ginseng Chicken for breakfast lol...

To get there:
5, Jahamun-ro 5-gil, Jongno-gu,near Gyeongbokgung station, Exit 2, reach a cross junction, turn left. Is located at a corner of the street, quite easy to locate.

Link: Gyeongbokgung Palace


Seafood Pancake - every food is just so yummy
Black Chicken Ginseng
White Chicken version
The crowd when we are leaving at 11am
Is worth the trip, their soup is light, tasty and nutritious. They can speak chinese too. After this we head to the Palace which is just across them.





We didn't stay for the ceremony which is held at 1pm. After this we head to the station which is conveniently located at the back of  the Palace to get to Hondae. 





Is quite a long walk to Hello Kitty Cafe. Sorry I have no direction for it as I am getting very exhausted after so many days of walking, sick and carrying a toddler I simply follow my hub as he went around to ask how to get there. A nice and pretty cafe for you to relax and take many photos. After this we head back to Namdaemun Market as my friend wants to do a spectacle there. Is cheap, the spect is very flexible too! On the way there we took a cab as I am seriously too tired to walk. We got cheated by the taxi who brought us round and round! Mad Well, dishonest cabby, you can find it everywhere. The fare was 15000 but hub just shoved him with 12000 and we got off, so pissed off!

My friends head back a day earlier than us and all I wanted is an early rest for tonight, packed up and ready to go home tomorrow. I seriously missed home, I never had such a bad holiday which I didn't get to enjoy, sadly.

Anyway my last day, we went to Seoul station for breakfast, went Lotte Mall to grab more goodies to bring home. We booked a taxi from our hotel to send us to airport.

In case you need a taxi, you may consider the. Friendly and huge cabby!
