March Busan Trip Part3

So here is Part 3 to our weekend trip to Busan!

Where I left off yesterday to got done eating and walked back to the bus stop to get back on the tour. The station we got on at was the first stop..we were trying to decided what we wanted to do..if we wanted to get off at another station and we decided that we would ride it again all the way through and go back to Busan Station and get on the other loop tour to see the west side of Busan. That way..when we come back we would know all the different places to go.

When we got on the bus, it was only a one level and there weren't any more places to sit. The bus driver told us we could stand if we'd like or wait for the next bus. I would totally stand on the bus before I'd wait (while standing) for 30 minutes on the next bus. So we hopped on and grab on to the compartment above our heads. Before the bus took off a Korean man that was beside us told Mackey to sit in his lap. She enjoyed that greatly. Another 2 women let Andrew, Story , and I sit in their seats. Haha..we left Mackey with the Korean man for a bit..it was funny. She came to sit with me shortly after. We were siting all the way in the back which was much fun when we went over a speed bump.

We made it all the way around to the end of that tour and stayed on the same bus for the other tour. This tour was called the Taejongdae Tour. It stops at Yeongdo Bridge, 75 Square, Taejongdae,National Maritime Museum of Korea, Namhang Bridge, Songdo Beach, and Biff Square (where we went the first night).

Story soon fell asleep.

I don't remember a whole lot about this tour, but I know that the first few stops seemed not to be anything great. We did go riding on the side of the huge mountain and got to see the beautiful ocean.

All the fishing boats

It looks closer in the picture..but we were really high up from the ocean

We were closer to the bottom now

That thing in the background to the right that looks upside down is a International Museum I believe

Going over the Namhang Bridge

Fake whale

Andrew asked if Kenny(his uncle that does construction) was in Korea..you can't see it good,but the dude on on a steep hill and his machine was coming off the ground.

The fake whale up close

This is Songdo Beach which is beautiful with a lot of fun things to do.

Side note:vWe believe that Taejongdae (I didn't take any pictures..Mackey was asleep on me) is the place to go on this tour( duh..that's why its probably named that Coby!) everyone wanted to get off at this stop..it looked like an awesome place with lots of stuff to do...we will definitely be going back there.

 We got to the last stop and got off at Biff Square again..this place was too big to see in one night so we took a round 2. When we got off the bus...we left behind Story's hello kitty hat :(    and the wind was kicking so I tried to find her one that they didn't want an arm and leg for.

We found a shop that was selling clothes and hats for a dollar (they were pre used I believe) and got those ears a place to hide. After wondering around a bit we stop in at KFC to eat.

I was sitting up against the stores windows and people were walking by watching Story.

I didn't get a picture..but this came with fries..

It was getting darker and colder so we decided to go back down to underground stores and came up on the Lotte department from underground. When we walked in and there was a Krispie Kreme on the right of us and we just had to stop and get a donut. After that, we went to the center of the mall area where they were going to have a light show.

As you can see in the video there was an upstairs to the mall..More like 14 upstairs!! It was huge...each floor looked like it was made for a certain type clothing or household item. Like one floor would be full of workout wear..everything from mountain climbing to golf clothes. Another floor was all women's clothes...one all kids clothing..one all furniture...it was major! I'm not for sure but I think there was a food court on every floor also.

This is a Korean style bed we found...you see that stone..it was hot! A heated bed!

We then decided to go up to the top floor and onto the roof deck. Let's just say my nerves were shaking just thinking how high we were outside and wind was blowing.

You walk outside and go up some more stairs on top of the roof deck..we went over to the side and all that was keeping us from going over was the glass (and a couple of bars haha)...ahhh

Going back down to the bottom of the roof top where there is a little park in the center.

We then went to the other side of the building and went on top of that roof  (this one had an elevator)

View from the other side

 That in the background is a coffee shop..yes ..on the roof top of a department store..Korean's are so creative!

We then went down past the coffee shop where they had a petting zoo. YES a petting zoo! A few of the animals were put up for the night but we got to see a good bit of them.

??

Goats

Piggies

Some kind of bird?

Peacock

After we got done with the petting zoo we went back to the elevators and went back to the bottom floor and left the department store. We then walked a good bit toward our hotel and came up to ground level and got a taxi back to the hotel.

In the morning to all got dress and headed back to Daegu. It was a wonderful trip and we had lots of fun..but I was so glad to see Camp Walker and our house. I was needing some normalcy!

I was going to talk about my Birthday in this post..but I will save that for tomorrow!

All to love and God Bless!
