The land that God forgot

Kind of looks like something out of King Kong!
So this weekend, Angela, Tina and I decided to pack our bags and check out Korea. We signed up for an "Adventure Korea" trip to Seonyudo Islands, about 3 hours south from here, and then another hour+ ferry ride out.
We got there, got on some bikes, dropped off our bags and got to it! We cruised through these islands on bikes (which I lovvve since I love biking, and it took me a while to get into it, but once I did I was a machine!). There really wasn't much, but there are 4 islands connected by bridges which was cool. It was hilly, since EVERYTHING in KOrea is, but once I got used to it, nothing I couldn't handle. There was really nothing but tiny fishing villages. I mean NOTHING. NO Bars. NO grocery Stores. NO Nore Bangs. Nothing. Just Old people who fished. Yeeeah.
This may have been the largest town in all the land

As always, mischief was caused. (Do you think I can board that boat?


ANd of course, a power nap.
After said nap, Tina became my partner in crime, and adventure as we decided that we were going to climb a rock face WITH A ROPE ATTACHED TO A TREE. Wisest decision ever it wasn't, and the top 5 scariest things EVER.

This may take the cake for stupid things I've done.

Once you got to the top of said rope, there was no path so you just kinda climbed up.

This is the view from the top, unfortunatly the weather was not that lovely that day :(

We then returned our bikes and went for dinner. We did some wandering around, and ended up in bed fairly early as there was nothing else to do.

We woke up the next morning to eat breakfast and go clamming I guess?
See? Clamming.
It ended up being me digging, Angela pouring salt and Tina grabbing the sucker, and combined we caught one, called it a day and went back inside to WARM UP!
They weren't really like any clams I'VE ever seen! BUt got it!

We ended up going hiking, which wasn't much of a hike but put us on top of a mountain for some SPECTACULAR views of something that wasn't urban sprawl.
Tina, our new friend Emily, and I made it to the top and shot the shit about life, the universe and everything

This was a cool trip, and I do intend on getting out of Seoul more. Is it something I can do everyweekend? NO WAY. This made Bozrah look like a bustling metropolis. But it was kind of the Korea I was looking for, the fishing, the different way of life. And it was nice to FINALLY Be outside after what felt like an endless winter.

So Until next time
Patience, Faith and a little Sass;
