TeamGonzaga kicked off the day with an exciting Nami Island/ Garden of the Morning Calm/ Petite France Tour booked via Klook. Our itinerary included visits to the Garden of the Morning Calm, Nami Island, and Petite France, with transportation, entrance fees, and lunch all taken care of.

Filled with anticipation, we rose early and strut out our OOTDs, eager to begin our day’s journey. Our tour guide welcomed us aboard the comfortable 9 seater van, and as we made our way to the first destination, SA Tours surprised us with complimentary bread and water, ensuring we stayed refreshed throughout the day.

Day 2: Exploring Korean Culture and Cuisine

Our second day in Korea was dedicated to immersing ourselves in the rich cultural heritage of the country. We had planned a unique experience by booking a Hanbok rental through Klook (Bukchon Oneday Hanbok Rental Experience) a sweet escape pictorial at Gyeongbokgung Palace (I have made a separate post about our Hanbok Photoshoot experience in a different post, you can read it here). The anticipation was high as we couldn’t wait to capture stunning photos in this historical setting.

We arrived at the Hanbok rental shop and were greeted by a friendly staff who helped us choose the perfect traditional Korean attire. The array of vibrant colors and intricate designs made it a tough decision, but we finally settled on our outfits. The Hanbok not only made us feel like we had stepped back in time, but it also added a touch of elegance and authenticity to our photo shoot.
