Day 2 – June 7, 2014/Saturday
We had breakfast of Maxim coffee courtesy of the hotel and
some bread from Ate Agnes before we went out to go to Everland na. I saw from
the website that it opens at 9:30am so we decided to leave the hotel by 9am. We
were advised by the person at the reception (who finally can speak English) to
just take the color green bus going to Everland and it will be a 15-mins ride.
Madali lang sumakay ng bus though we do not know how much to pay. I let Mark do
it for us kasi we really had no idea.
The kids were excited on the bus ride and when it stopped,
we saw Everland shuttle buses which we have to ride in order to reach Everland.
Ang Everland pala ay nasa dulo ng bundok and because it is a weekend and it was
a holiday the day before, the bus ride pa lang is jampacked na. Good thing
sandali lang sya and i honestly felt like the bus is climbing mountains.
Nakakatuwa kasi I really saw that Koreans patronize Everland and many Koreans
bring their families there. Ang konti lang ng foreigner tourists.
When we reached Everland, kagulo na po. Everybody’s excited,
pati ako. We immediately went to the foreigner’s booth and we were told that we
got discounted tickets. 30% discount daw ang tickets for the foreigners and
free pa si Isabel! Entrance pa lang bongga na ang Everland and what more pa sa
loob. It was a super big theme park that i doubt if we can finish to go around
in 1day. Dapat ata we allocated 2 days. I immediately went to the stroller
rental and gusto ata ni Hannah pati sya may stroller pero please, ambigat na nya!
Our first stop is at the cable car that will bring us to the other side. Takot pala si Ate Agnes so it was just us who rode the cable car. Everland has really nice views and rides. We really cannot finish visiting it all in one day. At the other side is where we saw their garden with lots of different colored flowers and it was their rose festival that week so sobrang nice to see different colors of flowers in different arrangements, etc. Pumila na rin kami to ride the carousel wherein all the horses has adjustable seat belts, they did not allow Isabel though on her own.
We stayed for a while at this area – just look at the smiles of the girls while they were playing. Nung una takot pa si Isabel but when she saw her 2 ate’s having fun, carry na! Takbo na rin dito at doon. Syempre nabasa na sila after a while as you cannot really time the release of water from the fountain saka syempre kasama na dun ang excitement on having to run within fountains. Super duper mega to the max saya talaga ng mga bata at this corner of Everland. Eh since it was rainy season when we were there, malamig pa rin and nakupo, baka sila ubuhin. Honestly pahirapan sila paalisin sa place na un.
We had lunch at a Chinese restaurant and nakakatuwa sa Korea, libre lang ang water on some public places. Even Isabel is okay with it as we only brought with us a few bottles of Dr. Edwards. We watched a Madagascar show and the Everland parade. Panalo ang mga floats and the show was really good. Good thing we have tickets with us as they cannot accommodate everybody in the area. Everland has a mini-zoo and we enjoyed seeing kangaroos, seals, birds, etc. Some of the 3D shows lang does not allow Isabel because of the height requirement.
We waited until 9pm for the fireworks display and sobrang reklamo na ni Juliana as she is already tired from the long walk. As in mahaba-haba naman talaga ung lakad and we still have to take 2 buses pabalik sa hotel. One is the shuttle bus from Everland to the bus station and another bus going to Yongin. Si Isabel nakatulog na sa bus#2 as in plakda na sa sobrang pagod. It was tiring but a very memorable trip to Everland. I promised myself I shall return kasi ang dami pa naming hindi napuntahan...
