Seoul - Day 19

I woke up because I heard somebody come down the stairs. We all crashed on the floor in the living room, only the girls had beds in their rooms upstairs. We must've left the aircondition on, because it was freezing cold in the morning. First thing was to get a boiling hot shower to get back to life. Next thing was brewing some coffee and as the smell of the black good rose into my nostrils I slowly let go of last night and began to greet the new day.

Soon everybody got up and got ready for the river. They have three or four boats operating at the same time, sometimes pulling riders and sometimes hysterically screaming girls on different types of rubber entertainment rides, such as the Peanut Boat or the Crazy Water Octupus Dragon. I've tried wakeskating in Brühl and in Thailand, I've tried surfing in Bali, but this was yet another new experience. It turnes out, being pulled by a motor boat on a river is a lot different to being pulled by a motorized cable on an artificial lake.

After a firey Dakdoritang lunch we took off and headed back to Seoul. A few minutes on the road and it started raining super hard. We had to drive slowly, but I kind of enjoyed the sound of the raindrops crashing down on us and making the windows look like modern art. I thought about all the rain and must have fallen asleep. When I looked out the window again we were in Seoul already. I rubbed my eyes and the last two days suddenly felt like a dream I just woke up from. What an amazing little journey.
