Day 42 - The Kingdom Of Gold

On Saturday we went to Gyeongju on the KTX (Korea Train Express - a super fast train which went up to 302 km per hour). Gyeongju was the capital of the Silla kingdom for over one thousand years. When we got there we took a taxi to the Gyeongju National Museum. The museum was split into four parts. We found out lots about the Silla kingdom. Next we checked into our hotel. Then we decided to go on a walk around town. We walked past a water wheel and a lake. We continued to walk for a while until we reached a dead end next to the lake with a 4D car racing game. Then we turned around to head back when we saw people on swan boats on the lake, so we rented a swan boat and we paddled it around for a while until Leah and Dad got tired because it was a bike-boat but there weren't any pedals in the back where me and Mum sat. After that we went to a coffee shop to have a drink then we walked back to our hotel.
