Everland
Seeing as it was Jenna's last weekend in Korea we decided to something fun, that involved getting wet.
We journeyed South to reach our destination and after two bus rides, totaling three hours we arrived at Everland. There's not a whole lot to say about the place, its a water park like many others you would find. However it was our last weekend in Korea and so I felt the need to blog.
We bought an afternoon pass, headed to the locker rooms only to find a hundred half naked Korean woman of all ages and sizes. I quickly changed and ran outside into the sun. The theme was pirates and so all the pools had their own pirate theme. There was a wave machine, rafting river, tube slides, rubber ring slides and a surf ride, which we only found after it had closed.
It was a lovely hot day so perfect to be in a water park and although it was hot it could have been busier. The only time we really qued for anything was the biggest slides in the park. We thought we were queing for this huge red bob slay slide but it turned out we'd qued for the more tame white tube slide. However tame was not the word I would have used when I came screaming out the other end. The whole slide was pitch black and if that wasn't enough, it started spraying water in my face. After getting a mouthful of water from screaming I closed my eyes, pinched my nose and held my hand over my mouth waiting for it to end. Unfortunately it was rather long so half way down I realised I couldn't hold my breath any longer, opened just in time to get another mouthful of water as I entered the pool.
For anyone that wants to go here are some directions:
Go to Incheon Bus terminal and ask at the ticket counter for a ticket to Everland.
It will cost about 4, 900 won and takes about 2 hours to get there. One tip if you are going buy a cheap swim hat as you are not allowed to go on any of the slides without one. You can get one from the gift shop for around 6,000 for a plain one. If your feeling more piratey there’s some more suitable headwear but these are upwards of 15,000 won. You are however allowed to wear bangles, belly chains and great big hoop earings.
