Seoul (South Korea) Day 3: Alpaca World

 I went to bed at 11.30pm and woke up at 1.40am. Due to tiredness, the next time I woke up was 5.45am.

It was 6am,  the sky was in a bluish tone as the sun had yet to rise. I did not went back to sleep as we were supposed to wake up at 6.10am to start preparing for the day. 

We munched on the grapes we bought at the convenience store yesterday and packed the gummy sweets in bag to keep us energized for the ride later.

I had the scone (₩3,900) that we bought yesterday for breakfast. It was quite nice with light and crunchy exterior, the inside was buttery and not too sweet. 


A black 12 seater passenger van came to pick us up at 7.55am. We got a big group today with exactly 12 passengers. We set off at 8.05am after everyone arrived. Our first destination was Alpaca World, which was 1 hour 45 minutes from Myeongdong.

After 45 minutes of drive, we passed by the mountain edge where we were almost on the same level with the cloud. I was amazed at how far we had came to just by driving. Slowly after that, I began to lose concentration and doze off.

We reached Alpaca World at 9.50am, just 10 minutes before the opening time, giving time for toilet break and explore the surroundings.

Despite the sunny weather, the cooling breeze made it the perfect time to visit the largest forest farm in Korea. It was a nice way to begin my day at this enchanting destination.

We were ushered into the Alpaca Playground for the 10.10am show where a pack of alpacas ran down from their enclosure to greet the visitors. It was such a cute scene.

As we entered, the staff handed out some feeding snacks, giving us the opportunity to interact closely with the alpacas. It was fun to watch how quickly they noticed the snacks and made their way over to us. 

After several minutes, the alpacas exited from the playground and returned back, allowing visitors to follow and visit them in their habitat.

They were too cute to eat, each piece stamped with the letters "PACA."
We reported back to our driver at 12.20pm sharp for our next destination.
