| The view from our front door in France ! |
There was a heavy fog all around airport – we couldn’t even see the terminal when we landed, and the planes coming and going kind of appeared and disappeared in the mist. Very disturbing sitting in a plane taxiing around among massive planes coming and going!
The bus to the hotel took about 5 minutes and was apparently
right next to the airport, but you wouldn’t know for all the fog!
Looking out of our hotel room window, we were able to see
into the courtyard of the hotel and there were a couple of cherry-blossom trees
blooming which were very pretty. I reflected on whether there might be cheries when Zach dismissively explained to me that cherry-blossom
trees are not cherry trees. I never knew – I thought the cherry-blossom season
in Japan was from cherry trees. Apparently not according to Prof Holden (Jr).
A pilot on stopover explained there was a nice walk along
the street near the hotel and so we went out exploring. Still weird in the fog,
but we found an Australian fish and chip shop which the pilot had told us
about. Strange kind of blend of Korean shop and Aussie bar.
The thing that delighted us both about are short overnight stay
in Incheon in Korea (aside from the dessert bar pictured!) was the friendliness of the people. The waitresses kindly
taught us how to say ‘thank you’ in Korean: kum-sam-yi-a-da (no idea how to
write it). We’re looking forward to our stopover on the way home when we might
venture into Seoul and find a hotel there to stay.
