"I think we might be on the wrong boat..."

So we decided we wanted to go out somewhere on a nice date today.  Eric made the plans and we started out by taking the subway to one of the parks along the Han River where you can go on different cruises around the river either one way or round trip.  We bought tickets for the cruise that would take us from the park at Jamsil to the park at Yeouido a ways down the river.  We had a while before we were scheduled to leave so we got a cold drink and walked along the river.  We made sure we got back to the boarding gate we needed to be at thirty minutes before it was scheduled to leave and right as another boat was arriving.  We joined the crowd of people, gave our tickets to the crew member and boarded the boat about twenty-five minutes before we were scheduled to leave, not an uncommon time to board on other boats we have been on.  Well when the boat left five minutes later (twenty minutes before the scheduled time) we realized we might be on the wrong boat.  When we passed another boat going towards the dock we had just left we knew we were on the wrong boat and just passed the right boat (apparently that crew member didn't look at our ticket very closely).  So instead of going all the way to Yeouido, we went about halfway and then turned around and went back to where we started.  So our date plans changed a bit, but we did get a nice cruise on the river, dinner at a nice Italian restaurant and dessert at Haagen Dazs so we're not complaining!  We will just have to go to Yeouido and the 63 Building another time!

Here we are on the boat we got on

 There goes the boat we were supposed to be on...
