South Korea Again: Le Petit France

There are 3 major attraction in the Gapyeong province, Nami Island, Le Petit France and The Garden of the Morning Calm.  We then plan to visit them in just one day.  There's a shuttle bus that has a circular route and strategic drop off point for tourists. The tourists who want to ride this bus just have to pay 5.000 won to the bus driver and they can hop in or hop off from the bus as much as they want to for one day! The bus will stop at the bus/taxi shelter in front of Gapyeong Station or the other designated points of the bus route. As a sign, there’s a shuttle bus’ time table on the shelter or drop off point. After were done with Nami Island, we waited or the bus going to Le Petite France unfortunately we took the wrong bus and it take us to the Gapyeong subway station.  Since we don't want to waste time, we took a cab going to Le Petite France which cost us W18,000.

South Korea Again: The Garden of Morning Calm

You want to see a little piece of heaven?  Since were going to Nami Island we planned to visit the other attractions in the Gapyeong area, Le Petite France and The Garden of the Morning Calm.  Ok its garden but we didn't expect it to be a HUGE garden.  Scenic walkways, beautifully manicured grass, and flower beds connect the garden's 20 different theme sections.  I think it has all the plant varieties and species.  Pictures are not enough to justify its beauty, you have to see it your self.
