Korea (Nov 2015) - Route and transportation

Anyeong Haseyo.....

Here's something to share on our trip to Korea from 26 November 2015 till 30 November 2015..enjoy

Route

The route took us from KLIA2 - Incheon, Seoul - Mount Soeraksan - PyeongChang Ski Resort - Nami Island - Seoul - KLIA2 and will be spending 5 days and 4 nights for this trip.

There were 4 families during this tour package and they came from Setiawan, Serendah & Puchong bringing along their children...kita orang sahaja yg couple hahahaha...mcm honeymoon trip la plak

One big family

Transportation

AirAsiaX

Our tour package provide us with AirAsiaX flights which took off at 8 am and safely landed at approx 3pm (local time).. That's almost 6 hours with no entertainment on board, pre-booked meal (packed nasi ayam)..So most of the time spent with hand phone games, sleeping (3 times) and toilet breaks...boring giler...(next time no AirAsiaX for long haul flights)....

Spouse, my self and Malaysian counterpart tour guide

On board AirAsiaX.....boring to the max

Chartered bus

Our next mode of transport is a chartered bus (Taewoon Tour). This will be our main mode of transportation. Its a 20 seater bus with one driver. (I believe the driver name is Mr Heng????)..He did not interact with us and does not speak English at all....so not much details obtained from him. But he sure drives fast..huhu

Mr Heng???...our bus driver

Ferry

We took a ferry to Nami Island. The ferry ride took only about 10 minutes and its just a small size ferry which can fit about 40 - 50 standing passengers...

Cable car/Gondola

We were supposed to take a cable car to the peak of Mount Soeraksan on the first day but due to high winds and safety reasons it was not operational...(disappointed jugak tapi better be safe than sorry kan)

tu dia...cable car line to the peak of Mount Soeraksan

There was however a cable car service at Everland Theme park. In fact, the theme park has one cable car service, one 4-seater gondola and one 2-seater gondola located at various stations in the park

4-seater gondola

2 seater gondola......macam sama aje kan??? hehehe

Tour agency

We got our tour arranged by Malaysian Harmony Tour Agency and the package was bought during MATTA fair @ PWTC with Muslim package.......The price???  Prices slightly differs between tour operators, tour month/season, packages and no of days. So do check up for the best price...
