If I ever find myself in Korea again I will not pass on this opportunity. I wandered through this place while doing a day hike in the Naejangsan National Park (내장산). I didn’t see a single soul, but apparently you can stay here, participate in zen activities, and be fed for under $50 a night.

This place (photo from 2016) in Kew Gardens, also known as the Dutch House, dates back to the early 17th Century. The garden in back (front right of this picture) is known as the Queen’s Garden. The oil portrait, below, is of the same location (but from the front instead of from the rear garden) and dates to 1733.

Later this month I’ll be booking my tickets for Europe this summer. If my flight goes through Iceland on my way to Copenhagen, again, I will likely spend a couple nights north of Reykjavik. The Blue Lagoon won’t be on my agenda this year. Instead I’ll try to get to places like the fjords in the northwestern part of Iceland. Any suggestions for particular “must sees”?
Another possibility is a couple nights in Frankfurt, Germany on my way in. Any fans of Frankfurt who would encourage that option? I’ve been to Berlin but only the airport in Frankfurt.
