11-17 June - Holiday at Korea (Day 3 & 4)

Starting from today, we are slowly heading back North to Seoul.  This morning, we visited a farm - Agroland.  Kids are so excited when they get to feed the different animals.  During our Perth trip, Kaelyn almost wanted to feed every animal...this time round, strangely, she wasn't enthusiastic at all ..



The farm owner took us around - We passed by a ginseng farm (left) and what is this animal on the right?


After the farm tour, we are all led to a classroom to learn how to make ice-cream.  All of us are giving absolute attention to Tour Guide, Uncle John, who was showing us how to make ice cream


Stiring continuously.... hands are really tired!!

Finally, we get to enjoy our fruit of labour... Yums... finger licking good!!


We ended our farm tour with milking the cow experience...Kaelyn refused to go.. holding daddy tightly... so in the end, Daddy have to obliged..



Next we were all hungry so we had bbq lunch.  Our first time seated on the floor over meal...
the bbq meat, dipped in chilli sauce and then wrapped in lettuce is really fantastic..
mummy so enjoyed it!!



After lunch, we had a good time in the Strawberry farm... plucking and eating juicy and sweet strawberries...3 bagful of strawberries...


After a sweaty good time in the strawberry farm,Uncle John brought us to ChunChunHyang.. or Resome Spa Castle in English... It is an indoor and outdoor spa and water family resort. 

The indoor spa is separated by gender and be prepared to go nude or people will think of you as an alien..  There are many pools with different temperature (freezing cold, hot or super hot), scrub facilities, massage at additional charges, steam bath, sauna, washing machines & etc.  Koreans call them Jimjibang which is a must-try if you go to Korea.

Right outside the indoor spa is a semi-outdoor hot spring pool.  Here you are expected to be in your swimwear and swimcap.  After your muscles have been relaxed by the hot spring water, you can opt to go outdoor where all the exciting slides awaits you.  There are also outdoor spa with different "soups" eg. wine spa (you can pour additional wine into the pool). There are also small rooms where you can relax yourself in eg. Geranium room & etc. 

As there are so many different offerings and involved water so we didn't take any pictures but here's a picture of its map.




We ended the day with western food opposite our hotel. 
Our restaurant has an interesting architecture.



Day 4 is a dress up day - we get to put on the hanbok as many times as we like. 


After laughing and changing costumes, we moved to another room to have a hands-on kimchi making

After our lunch, we spend the rest of the day at Everland which is very near to Seoul city already..
