Royal Shrine And Sunshine

We took what was the first conducted tour of any sort. It was the only way to see the Jongmyo Royal Shrine. The woman guide was excellent; not too much detail and not jabber all the time. There were about 15 in the group so it was easy to hang back and have a good look at whatever took our fancy. No yanks ... maybe that's why the people in the group were deferential and not noisy ...

The shrine complex covers quite an area so that the hour was only just enough to get a brief, but informative, look around. The grounds themselves are very pleasant and the autumn colours just beginning ... all very peaceful considering that the complex is slap bank in the middle of urban insanity.

Dinner at the same restaurant ... very tasty and almost chili free.

Most places are closed on Monday so we had a lazy day.
