Yesterday I arrived back from a last-minute trip to the Philippines, so here's the photo evidence.
I'll say right now that I had a very nice time, and would look forward to visiting the Philippines again; the people were great, the sites were beautiful, it was easy and interesting to get around.
Instead of saving the best til last, let's have the best photo first:
So, I set off early afternoon to the KTX station for my early evening flight (it takes me 2 hours to get to Incheon)...
Had 30 minutes or so before the train, so looked for something to eat.
Perhaps some nice local food:
Instead, I decided upon:
Also took some zanax to help me along with the trip (I hate flying because the plane will be taken over by a terrorist pilot and flown into an American Embassy).
Here comes the KTX, fast and convenient - takes an hour to Seoul then you need to change to an airport train which takes about 45 minutes once you've gone from upper level 2 to lover level 976, 348 where the airport shuttle resides...
Journey to the centre of the Earth begins (alas, I forgot to take photos of the never-ending escalator system down):
The wife sent me a picture; did she think I was gonna miss her and Chokdee??? Why did she think I was going on this holiday...
&... we arrive at Incheon (that's the Royal 'we') with plenty of time to get a couple of beers before my Jeju Air flight which takes 4 1/2 hours.
