Korea Continued into Week 2

Sunday 1st October.

We travelled to the Armistice Observation post at the most northernmost point of south Korea.
We saw the South Korean current military observation buildings, and the area where bus trip visitors check in before proceeding to North Korea.
The bus trip costs something like $800 US and there are options for one day, one night, two nights trips.

We also visited previous holiday areas of Kim Il Sung, and President Syngman Rhee.

Then it was off to Sorak National Park, and a ride on the Cable car to its observation deck and great views of the valleys and mountain peaks.

It actually rained for about 15 minutes, not especially heavy, but welcome nevertheless.
Rivers and creek beds are almost dry here, even though there was severe flooding some two months previously.

Then to a restaurant which is renowned for it's tofu speciallity.
Actually, it's on;y menu item.

And of course, the acconmpanying collection of additional dishes including dry fish, cucumber, beans and KIMCHI

UNTIL NEXT TIME
