Gwangju to Seoul (by bus): Our last full day in Asia was basically a travel day. We got up and hung out with Lindsay for a bit in the morning, and picked up some food for the bus, then took a taxi to the bus station and caught the express bus to ICN. (It does not ride over the water, that's another map artifact.) Then we checked into our airport hotel, and grabbed dinner at the hotel buffet.
