I've just been on a four day road trip to the east coast of Korea. We had a long weekend off from work, and since I've no real summer vacation, my coworker Tyler and I decided to make the most of it.Despite this being the middle of rainy season, we planned a motorcyle trip all the way over to Sokcho. Amazingly though, we fell lucky with the weather. Our two big riding days, Thursday and Sunday (yesterday) were dry, while it rained on the others (which didn't matter).
We stayed at an amazing hostel called The House Hostel, where the wonderful manager Yoo took awesome care of us. We ate like kings for the three nights at an all-you-can-eat buffet BBQ place and are now FAT!
We also hooked up with a bunch of English teachers that work over there and partied in the towns one happening pub on Friday and Saturday.
And when we weren't indulging ourselves with food and drink we visited some temples, pretty beaches, little harbours and of course the famous Soraksan (maybe Korea's prettiest mountain??)
It was a pretty intense trip squeezed into four days, but very enjoyable, great to be on the open road.
[Found a little harbour. It was overcast and the water looked like oil]
[Roadside scenery: Awesome! Nice mountains too.]
[Pretending to check my bike for the camera "Is this the engine?"]
[Well prepared for the weather, as always. My hair was SO frizzy after this!]
