Part II | Cont. Day 8: GyeongBokGung + Ikseondong Hanok Village We needed some hearty breakfast to start the day. So, we settled on Eggdrop 에그드랍 which happens to be around where we stayed. It is a very instagrammable aesthetic breakfast. It was good but I actually prefer Isaac Toast! They are both really good options for quick, easy and affordable breakfast sets.

South Korea has been on my mind since late 2020. I’ve been wanting to go back to experience the country as an adult and this time around I will get to experience it with Juanpa. It is always the most fun to experience a new country with him. I am generally pretty good at planning things out while he brings out a lot more spontaneity. I am always focused on getting to our destination and he is good at noticing things we pass by while going to our destination. It makes it a really fun trip and this one is just that.

Ok, 가자!

We spent some time walking around Ubud Market where we spotted quite a few amazing and intricate building entrances. We also found amazing art being sold in shops around the area. Juan got to spend some time in this basement shop playing with souvenir items and seeing if they make cool sounds. We actually found a thing that would make sound not so different from the sound of thunder. Juan got so excited it was hard for me to get the lady to lower the price. Oh well, anything for my sound crazed husband. haha.

My father’s favorite spot in Bali would be Kintamani. I can see why, the air is cooler there’s Danau (Lake) Batur* and Mountains surrounding the lake. The place is absolutely stunning.

I’m definitely on my travel journal kick right now. As well all know and experienced, 2020 put a halt on most people’s travel plans. Juan and I have been talking about the time where we get to travel and experience other countries again. But it still feel so far away from now.

We were trying to decide what we are going to do for our 2 Year Anniversary Celebration. We thought about dressing up really fancy and going to Canlis for dinner, but then Juan found an amazing flight deal to Tokyo for March 2019! Right before the sakura bloom season. We thought about it for a minute - literally a minute - because the next minute we purchased flight tickets! It was so exciting I started planning the same night. Planners gonna plan, y’all. 😂
