The Second Snow

While Amanda, Ray and Damo were here, we were lucky enough to experience our second big snowfall. Once again waking to a white wonderland, we ventured up our local mini-mountain, Bonghwasan, to play.

Damo trying to perfect the snowball - not sure whether he realised he was throwing this one towards his own camera!

It was all fun and games, until the intrepid travelers struck a mini-blizzard on our mini-mountain...

Alas, Trent was not going to let the elements affect his exercise regime...

Fortunately, the mini-blizzard appeared to be isolated to Bonghwasan so we actually had a pleasant day viewing Gyeongbokgung (one of Seoul's largest palaces) in all its winter splendour.
