Ready to go…

So now the bags are packed , the camera gear has been carefully weighed and checked against the airline flight rules. Lenses cleaned , filters checked , batteries charged and memory cards refreshed…

Tomorrow begins the long journey East, starting as ever with a bus ride…last time it was more eventful than the holiday with no less than two changes of bus along one route - first being down to a break down (mechanical not emotional) the second to change to a different type of bus and finally because the first driver was asked to return to the depot….so here’s hoping tomorrow is slightly less event filled. Of course then its the usual journey through an airport , bag drop, security , duty free, gate…to be repeated in Amsterdam where a change of aircraft is required.

Finally we should arrive in Seoul and reverse the process culminating in a bus ride from the airport.

It is then a matter of soaking up the culture, cuisine and sights of Seoul before heading down to Busan for a further introduction to some more of what South Korea has to offer.

Then a trip over to Japan with stays in Tokyo and Kyoto await before beginning our long journey homeward.
