The final tombs
Seolleung and Jeongneung royal tombs
Still time to go and see some more mounds of grass containing K-drama stars.
The Seolleung tombs were nearby, and would take the right amount of time to visit before I had to board a couple of slow trains to the airport. It was however hot.
I have been to these tombs before, it is very popular for businessmen to go to at lunch and walk around with their secretaries, which seem to still be a thing in Korea. Probably while telling them what a great job they have done sending faxes and making coffee etc. after buying them a bubble tea. It looks weird in this day and age.
Fortunately, when I got back to my hotel to collect my bag, they had 'dressing rooms' behind reception. This allowed me to swap my sweaty clothes for non sweaty clothes onto my sweaty body. The dressing rooms provide a lot of equipment for girls to be sewn into dresses, they have a lot of wedding ceremonies in the hotel it seems.
Anyway, then it was time to head to the airport, and I will not be early like I normally am.
One of the tombs. You can not really see the statues surrounding the mounds that are the actual tombs.
The park is a nice 3.5km circuit if you go the whole way, I did.
This is just about the only tomb shot you can get, there was a tour group, I pushed through the French flags.
Too hot for people to walk up the path.
The history museum does not appear to be a museum, there were people in there working at desks, at least that's what it looked like to me.
If having a cybertruck was not stupid enough already, how about a pink one? At least the silly shape makes it easy to apply the cheap pink vinyl.
There was just enough time to shovel a salad down my throat before racing to the airport.
