Jeju Island and our Goodbyes
Korean Adventure Day 16 Today brought us to a gorgeous waterfall with a tragic story attached to it. The 4.3 incident saw over 250 villagers executed at this waterfall. Between 1947 and 1954, over 30000 people, about 10% of Jeju's population were executed on the whole...
Jeju Island and the Haenyeo Women
Korean Adventure Day 16 Coffee and pastries. A quick and efficient morning stop. Except when 10 of us overwhelm the one person manning the whole shop. Then we get to take care of emails, texts and picture culling while our coffees percolate. Our first stop this...
Seoul to Jeju Island
Korean Adventure Day 15 An early morning for our trip to Jeju Island. And if you think 1 hour and 18 minutes won’t be enough time to leave your hotel and make it onto the plane you’d be wrong. If you can believe it we checked out of our hotel at 6:40am, walked to the...
Sokcho to Seoul
Korean Adventure Day 14 (on the bus) Today is a travel day for us. And it does not involve our bikes!! We meet at 8:20 to load our bikes and paniers into the truck. Then it is off to breakfast. The easiest thing to do is go straight to the bus depot which is a short...
Goseong to Sokcho
Korean Adventure Day 13 (54km, 263m) It is all feeling a little bit surreal. Today is it. The last day. The finale. The bookend. The final leg. La fin. Already. It has gone by crazy fast. I can’t believe that, other than a couple of short taxi boosts, I was able to...
Goseong to Unification Center
Korean Adventure Day 12 (56km, 448m) Today’s beautifully sunny morning begins with farmer Paul harvesting some persimmons for us. Just a breakfast appetizer he claims. Then we are off to a bakery for some doughy goodness and a caffeine drip. Today was a big day for...
He Got His Land Back! – June 1
So…if we’re to be completely honest, we did not really want to participate in today’s excursion. Not because it wouldn’t be interesting and important but because it would mean spending yet another 6 hours in the van. Which, if we’ve learned anything in the last few...
Umuganda: Community Work Day – May 31
Today is a very special day for all of Rwanda. Umuganda means ‘coming together with a common purpose to achieve an outcome’ and takes place in cities, towns, communities, and villages throughout the country. Everyone aged 16 to 65 must participate otherwise they may...
Let’s Do NOTHING! – May 30
It is a beautiful thing to wake up in the morning knowing that 1) you slept very well, 2) you’re able to take a stand-up shower, 3) you have time to take your time before breakfast is served and 4) there is nothing you have to do today and nowhere you need to be. We...
