Day 62: Go East!

Mood: Sleepy
Music: Deadmou5 - Strobe

Today was a day spent mostly on the road. We stopped at the Namhansan Fortress first. This is a fortress with walls which run along the tops of the surrounding steep hills. The wall runs for over 12km and is over 10m high with archery posts every 2m or so.

We walked up here and saw some of the large gates and the commanders house before walking back down the hillside to the car. From here we set out on the 200km drive east to the coast and the location of my hotel for the night. I managed to catch up on a little bit of sleep on the way, I did find myself drooling a little on me when I woke up at one point which I thought was particularly fetching.

We stopped for lunch in the food court of a service station before driving onwards. Our only other stop was to give Trueman, my guide for the next few days, a break from driving. The place we stopped at had some rather interesting wooden carvings. Some of you know what I'm talking about, the rest probably don't want to know...

We arrived in the coastal town of Sokcho and had a look around their fish market. From here I was taken to my hotel and left to my own devices for the rest of the afternoon.

Tomorrow I'm going to hae a look around the national park that my hotel looks out over (not my room, I face the back of the building).
