Gyeongju

Gyeongju is an ancient city with a splendid history. It is referred to as a museum without walls, because of the tombs and historic relics you can see throughout the city and surrounding areas.
We were approached at the station by a taxi driver who offered to take us to our hotel at Bomun Lake. On the way he suggested that the next day he drove us around to see the sites..this was a godsend after seeing how expensive and limited the tours were going to be. He was also able to get to many places the groups couldn't go, and he was lots of fun....getting out of the car at every location to show us "in-fo-mate-shun". The first day was so good we got him back for a second day...great value.
