This was the final half day that we had before heading back to sunshine land. The kids were given 3 choices. The 1st was to go ice skating at the Lotte Mall, they had earlier pleaded to go ice skating before the short outdoor ice skating experience. The 2nd was to try some indoor playground somewhere. One very popular one was about 30 mins by train. The last one was to simply stone in the hotel and visit the cat cafe when it opens at 12 pm. This was also our original plan. The kids opted for.... the cat cafe. Chey, we should have saved our time and effort to look for alternative the night before.
So we did laze around in the hotel after bfast. Bcos it was Christmas, there were so many good movies on the TV and they were in English! The kids had watched so many cartoons in Korean for the past 8 days. It didn't matter that they couldn't understand the language, they still enjoyed them anyway.
While they were glued to the TV, mummy escaped the room to do last minute peaceful cosmetic shopping. It is always wonderful to shop alone. I felt so free! I probably spent at least 30 mins roaming the streets. Time passes so quickly when one is spending $$.
These were the free gifts given after all the masks and cosmetic that I had bought during the trip.
I had seen bloggers who posted more freebies. They must had bought a lot more. The store owners would give freebies to entice shoppers to go into their shops. They give even more if the shoppers purchased above a certain value.
The kids barely noticed my absence when I returned. We did last minute packing and checked out. To the cats cafe!
It costed a lot more - 12k per pax and it came with a drink. There were tables and chairs and most of the cats were lazing or sleeping some where.
We bought cats' food to lure the cats too. Not many of them were interested though. Many prefer to continue to sleep. The cats had free flow of dried food anyway.
We couldn't stay long, probably about 50 mins before we had to rush back to the hotel, picked up the luggage and chased the airport bus.
We had thought of getting a cab to the airport that would take about 1 hr and 70k. The airport bus takes about the same time and only 28k, Lil Isaac rides for free. We all knocked out on the bus.
It was quite a rush in the airport. We only had time for some pastry at Paris Baugette. Their coffee cup was so cute!
The flight to Singapore was easy. We were all busy watching movies, eating and drinking. Haha. SQ is always good. Towards the end of the flight, Lil Isaac declared that it was time for bed. And he slept.
He didn't wake up when we alighted. We had to carry him off the plane. He was still sleeping when we collected the luggage.
When we were queuing for the taxi.
He slept the cab ride home too. Even Lil Shauna fell asleep.
Back home, he was still sleeping.
We showered the kids and they continued sleeping while mummy unpacked the bag.
That marked the end of our wonderful winter Korea holiday. I missed Korea already. When and where is our next one?
