Corea by Raul

I left Denia as best as I could. Trying to leave the Cyber organized. So even though my vacation starts on the 2nd, I was well focused on getting everything in order until the 3rd.

Jimmy was my driver to Valencia, arriving to take a train to Barcelona and once there, to catch the flight to Seoul. 

On the plane, as expected, everyone was Korean except for a Spaniard behind me. 

The best part of the flight was that I got 3 empty seats by the window. So I was able to rest reasonably well. 12 hours of travel, with 2 very basic meals. One plate and a small glass of water. I had already read that this airline, Tway, had quite a bad reputation. It’s low cost. For €443 I was able to get a one-way ticket. I could have saved €80 with others but with layovers. I made the right choice. 

The departure was at 20:30 and the arrival at 17:30 the next day. In Spain, it was 09:30h

Once in Korea, the airport exudes technology and modernity. I remembered the one in Barcelona, which has become very outdated and has an old-fashioned design.

Upon exiting, my first encounter was with the machines, to get a ticket to Seoul. Previously, I had downloaded the Rome2rio app. It is very helpful for seeing routes and which services to take.

So, without wasting time, I took the first bus to Seoul for €19.

Very comfortable seats, the driver got up, indicated that we should put on our seatbelts, and bowed to us. And off we went.

The entrance to Seoul, Hapjeong station. The OkiDoki hotel. About 800m away.
