April and the Cherry Blossoms

So two weeks ago was the time when the cherry blossoms come out. Luckily, Kongjoo and I had time to go to Namsan and enjoy a little hike and enjoy the day.

Namsan is north of the Han river which splits Seoul in Half. It is also the location of Seoul tower or Namsan tower. The top picture shows the Han river splitting Seoul. Namsan tower is located at the southernmost gray circle. The picture below shows a satellite photo of Namsan tower.

This is the highest point in Seoul. There is an observation deck at the top and a neat bathroom where you can overlook Seoul from above all while going to the bathroom. I have visited the tower before but it was nice to finally get to walk around the mountain.

The day was perfect. The weather was nice and there was a cool breeze. Of course, there were tons of people walking around and taking pictures but we never felt completely crowded.

Naturally, because I love food, I have to tell you about the really great strawberry milkshake that I had from this place called the Flower Cafe. It was a nice little spot with a swing bench at one table. We had sandwiches as a light meal before our hike and will definitely be back for the milkshakes and coffee.

Finally, lots of pictures of our day. Enjoy!
