The day before the Trickeye we went on a hike in a park rising up from the very heart of Seoul.
We left early in the morning, hoping to avoid the heat of the day.
After a quick breakfast of bread we’d picked up the day before and a metro ride to the nearest station, we were at our trail head. Mom had mapped out a multi kilometer walk that would take us around the perimeter of the park but we later realized we had early on taken a wrong turn, diverting us onto a much shorter and more direct path.
Dad opted for the slow and steady strategy, not stopping at the public exercise stations like the rest of us and consistently trudging along up the steep, paved foot path.
After a few panoramic overlooks of the capital and a few too many stairs for my liking, we arrived at the base of the tower. Where the gondola ended was a boardwalk with views in a league of their own, but perhaps the most beautiful thing about the overlook was the thousands upon thousands of padlocks secured to the railings.
We soaked up the views while we rested for awhile before setting off back down through the park.
