Well we are currently sitting in Incheon International Airport in South Korea taking advantage of the free wifi before our flight to Frankfurt in 2 hours. We arrived here at 6:30pm local time (7:30pm Sydney time) last night after a 9 and a half hour flight from Sydney which was scheduled to fly at 7:55am but was frustratingly delayed by an hour. An extra hour's sleep would have been much appreciated.
Needless to say we were quite exhausted when we arrived after the early start and so grateful that we had a night to rest before our next flight. Korean Air put us up at the Harbor Park Hotel which was a 30 minute shuttle bus ride away. Everything worked pretty seamlessly and we more or less followed the crowd of people all doing the same thing. Much to our surprise we were given vouchers for dinner and breakfast at the hotel and a meal voucher for the airport for lunch today so didn't even need to spend any Won where AU$1 is 1031 Won.
The trip to the Hotel was quite amazing. The airport is on an island and to get to the mainland we traveled on a 21.38 km long bridge across Incheon Harbour which took a whopping 7 minutes 15 seconds to cross (yes Matt did of course time it). The bridge was opened in 2009 and built by Samsung (thanks wiki).
"'bout bloody time, slack arse!" -love, dad.
ReplyDeletegood to hear from you! Matt did you hold your breath over that 21km bridge?? bet you didn't!!
love
joey
Haha what a quick reply! Leave us alone Paul. It's the first time we've had net. He held his breath over the open part of the bridge, but that's all. He tried and failed lol
ReplyDeleteLove you all. Boarding in 30 mins :) xxxxx
We may not have a 7'15" bridge, but we DO have a steam train running today from Broadmeadow to Gosford. VERY 19th century. It's a spectangular day and watching whales from the lounge room is pretty awesome. But we are still working on the bloody biology assignment. About to start on honeybees! I cleaned up the garden shed this morning. The excitement never stops around here.
ReplyDeleteso far the most interesting and entertaining thing about the bio assignment is the names of the diseases that have managed to cross our borders. eg. "Rock Snot" it lives on rocks and looks like snot... I'm not kidding! and then there is "Sugar Cain Smut" BAHAHAHAHA!! dad and i found this quite amusing.
