Day 3 began early in the day with a morning call at 7am. But of course since there were 3 of us, daddy and I woke up at 6.30am knowing that we needed more time to wake you up and to get you ready. Brought our bags down at 8am and quickly bundled into the bus away from the cold morning.
We drove for a while before arriving at our breakfast location. It was a buffet style of breakfast serving mainly Korean food (imagine kimchi for breakfast!!) in a big hall with many people from many tours having breakfast.
Next stop was Kyongbok Palace to watch the changing of the guards ceremony. The center of the walkway was cleared and we stood around watching the guards. Jeff Ko-ko gave us fliers which showed the different guard uniforms and the status represented by each uniform.
We took a group picture before we began the tour of the palace with Bob:
We felt so cold, so we put on our beanie but you refused to put on the beanie, complaining that it was poking your hair.
Here's a family shot which Jeff Ko-ko had helped to take:
After that we hopped onto the bus to head for the next stop.
P/S: Jeff Ko-ko is the freelance photographer who was with our tour. He seemed to take a liking to you, carrying you around, fooling around with you and taking quite a number of pictures of you despite being able to speak very little English. And he called you "Pororo" which at the end of the trip became a name which some others in the tour started to call you too.
