My Seoul Day 10: Legends Hero, Dragon Spa and Home Sweet Home

It was our last day in Seoul. Sob. I was lying when I said that I had enough of Korea cold; I didn't want to go home!

We only had 2 agendas for the day and it called for sleeping in late. We only went for bfast at 9ish. Again, simple bfast was provided but it was more sumptuous, subjected to our willingness to get our hands dirty.

The kids happily painted their toast.

Eggs were provided but we had to make them ourselves and washed up. Zaky enthusiastically made us eggs, which Daddy Lim enthusiastically gobbled them up. He said that Zaky's eggs saved the bfast. Hoho.

Daddy Lim thought that it was too wasted to not do some last minute shopping. We left the bags in the hotel and headed down to the streets. We didn't end up with bulky purchases; I kept telling Daddy Lim that he really had to buy us an additional luggage if we buy more bulky stuff bcos there was really not much space left.

Instead, we filled our bellies full. Apparently, Zaky's eggs were not enough. We were lured by a street food stall's hot fishcakes. Lil Shauna and I ordered some fried food too.

Daddy Lim best - still ordered ramen. The ramen came in those golden color pot!

Without anything else to buy, we headed back to the guesthouse to collect our luggage to our 1st destination - Hero Legends. I read that it is some kind of sports related games but video-game format. 

I was serious when I said that our luggage had no more space. Blue dino had to be strapped on.

Hero Legends is located at Gangnam station. Our plan was to put the luggage in the lockers at the Shinyongsan station, which was the station for our 2nd activity and enroute to Gangnam station. However, luck was not with us and we didn't manage to find an available locker in Shinyongsan. 

Without a choice, we had to lug the luggage to Gangnam. Did I tell you that there were flight and flight of stairs up and down in the Seoul train stations? Did I tell you that I hurt my tailbone and I had yet to recover and it bloody hurts when I had to go up and down the stairs plus carrying the luggage? Can cry. At that point in time, I was super glad that we packed and traveled light. 

There wasn't any available locker at Gangnam station as well. Pui! So again, we had to lug the luggages in crowded Gangnam to Hero Legends. -#&$(_)@

However, a pleasant surprise was awaiting - a light snow when we 1st exit the station! It was so light, that it instantly melted upon contact but it was snow nevertheless. See the snow on Zaky's hair!

We didn't have all day to enjoy the snow and quickly hurried on. 

We bought 2 hours Hero Legends pass from Klook. Each of us were given a pass. To play any of the games, we had to tap our pass at the machine. If there is a Q, then we had to wait until our turn was called. There were plenty to explore. 

It was a little like running man but sports theme. They also have this dunking machine that is a little too low for Daddy Lim. So funny. 

Two hours passed quickly. When time was up, the passes automatically disabled. It was then time to again lug the luggage back to the train station. 

It was still snowing very lightly and we saw people crowding to look at some performance. 

The kids were actually very excited about being in Gangnam bcos of Gangnam style. Lil Shauna had to take this picture for memory sake. 

The next activity was the Dragon Hill Spa. We were running out of time to fully enjoy the Jjimjilbang. It was hard to discribe to Daddy Lim and the kids what it really was. Lil Shauna was just very upset that there will again be many naked people. Lol. 

The Dragon Hill Spa was less than 5 mins walk from the station. It was very brightly lit. Cannot miss de. 

The staff was nice enough to help us keep our luggages in the office and then told us to keep the shoes and to get change. It was the same concept as the Blue Canyon, the key to the shoe cabinet also opens the locker in the respective sex changing room. The gender separated sauna is located within the changing room and very much back to bathing suit concept. 

We didn't have time to enjoy the sauna, which pleases Lil Shauna very much. Walking around naked or seeing others walking around naked is not her thing. Haha. We got changed and went back to meet the boys for dinner. Food was the only thing that Daddy Lim really cared about. 

Luckily there was a proper restaurant with proper food or I would have an very upset Daddy Lim. While waiting for food to be served, we snacked. 

After dinner, we headed to the main hall and the kids excitedly tried out the different rooms, from the very cold one to the very hot ones. 

I wasn't interested, I only want to eat the hard-boiled eggs, like the K dramas. I forgot to bring the provided towel and cannot do that meh meh headgear.

But I did lie down and nuah, just like the locals. 

The kids were happily playing the phones while I was contented to just nuah. 

My initial idea was to go to the Jjimjilbang to burn time as we had a late flight at 11.15pm. Ended up, we had less than 2 hours. There were so many facilities (heated swimming pool, gym, etc) that we didn't get to explore. The kids were reluctant to leave and so was I. Actually I only want to lie on the heated floor and not move, no need to explore. Haha. 

Soon, it was time to leave for the airport. 

The staff had advised us to use the train to Seoul Station for the airport railway instead of the airport bus due to the traffic. 

We started our way for the airport. Once at the airport, it was a mad rush to change out, vacuumed the winter clothes for checked in, refund the T money and return the wifi egg. We literally ran; Daddy Lim took care of the wifi egg return while I ran to refund the T money. Then we realised that the check-in counter was miles away and the whole family ran to check-in. We were perspiring by the time we managed to do so. 

The security check Q was horrible. We were given a priority Q card that says "kids accompanying". Suddenly, I love the kids so much. Lol. The priority Q though shorter was still crowded and I was seriously worried about missing the flight. The immigration check was a breeze once we cleared the security checks. 

Then it was a quick walk to Gate 23. I didn't know I will be so happy to see the gate. 

It wasn't long before we were asked to board. We again opted for the 2-2 configuration. Zaky again made me promised to wake him up for bfast. 

Zaky declared that he would sleep soon after we took off. Sleep was really tough for me. I couldn't find a comfortable position and it was made worse when the passenger in front of me full declined her seat. I dozed and my tailbone hurts too much from the body's relaxed position that I gave up on sleep. I ended up watching movies instead. 

Bfast was served and again, I tried to wake the boy. It was impossible. He stirred but continued to sleep on. I did keep some food for him to sleepily munched on when we arrived back in Singapore. 

Finally, we are back in Singapore and this marked the end of our wintery Korea holiday.
