After another leisurely breakfast I wandered to Deoksugung Palace. This is a small palace near to city hall and is very much like the others. However, they had a changing of the guard ceremony that was kind of interesting.
Ancient and modern Seoul.
Another pavilion.
Gardens in the palace.
A nice bit of wall.

From there it is a short walk to Namdaemun Market, a vast area selling everything under the sun.
From there I caught the metro to the War Memorial of Korea. The weather by this time was getting is bit miserable so did not stay very long.
