And just like that my time in Korea is coming to an end. The return travel (and live commentary) commences tomorrow evening. In the meantime, here's some of favourite pictures from the last week. You'll gather from the selection that I'm a "heritage and nature" kind of traveller, not "shopping and dining".


Baekundae peak, Bukhansan


Black sesame ice cream. Better than tiramisu!


At Gyeongbokgung


Bongeunsa Temple


Cheonggyechong, the famous ex-freeway restored to open water.


Sejong the gigachad, as the youth of today would say


Awesome city model at the Seoul Museum of History


Rest stop at Suejongdae, 17th century command post on Nanhamsan.


In the "secret garden" complex behind Chakdeokgung.


Donggung palace and Wolji pond, Gyeongju
