My time in South Korea is soon coming to an end. That's why my last weeks here has been hectic, since I need to see everything (which is impossible) before I leave. Not only do I need to see everything, but I should also finish all my projects and assignments.
So today me, Johnny and Gina are off to Namiseom Island, also called Nami Island. The island is located approximately an hour from Seoul, which makes it a popular destination for couples and families. The island is a half moon shape and has its history from the Joeson Dynasty (as many of the most popular attractions in South Korea). Nami Island provides many activities for all needs, for example education and training facilities, camping sites, swimming pools, water sort facilities, there is a theme park, shooting range, roller skating rink, and lodging possibilities such as villas and bungalows.
From Hoegi station, it takes approximately an hour to reach Gapyeong station. From there you can reach the terminal by bus or taxi, and to get to the island you can go by ferry or even a zipline. As you can see in the pictures, there is an "immigration" and the island is called "the republic of...", which is just a concept. The immigration fee is basically the entrance fee, which includes the ferry there and back.
What gives a special touch to this island, is the fact that they are trying to recycle as much as possible. This can be seen in the decorations around the island. The island also gives an opportunity to get really close to wild animals. During our stay at the island, we managed to rescue a baby duck, with a duck boat, haha! It was a perfect sunday, and great to get away from the big city once again.
