Seoul - Day 2

We wanted to go to Lotte world (an amusement park) but due to our late evening/morning we didn't get up early enough to make it there. So what does a person do when you cannot think of what to do and you're a little tired. 

Off to the Spa! We hopped on the train and we were on our way with little difficulties. Side note: If you get off at the wrong stop you will have to call for assistance to get them to let you to the other side. Lesson is if you want to switch to the opposing platform it might not be possible without asking for someone to let you through. 

Dragon Hill Spa cost 11,000Won and from there you get a bracelet where you can touch to anything inside. When you finally leave you just 'check out' and they charge you for whatever you used. 

I cannot recommend this spa enough, since it is Korean style it is just such an awesome way to spend the day. 

Part 2 of this day was us trying to make it to N Seoul Tower. Now we got off at the stop we were suppose to, then I realized that you have to take a yellow bus to the tram stop...okay we don't know where it is. 

Due to the fact that we can see the tower we just started walking up the hill. After a very long steep walk we finally made it to the top I think it took us over an hour from the train station. At least we didn't have to pay for bus or tram up. In the end we missed our chance to eat dinner at the top since everything closed at 10pm even though the signs all say 11pm. (I guess that is only for the weekend?) 


There was one last thing that I wanted to mention was the fact that at the top there are millions of locks. Where lovers (or friends) put their lock and toss away the key. Now I don't know a lot more information than that but there are a lot of them. Some are rusted quite badly so I think that they have been doing this for sometime. It is more bittersweet for me to see all these locks.
