Today’s lunch special: Grilled Eel

I don’t really love eel, but this was pretty delicious.

Onto our next destination!

Odongdo is a small island which is connected to Yeosu Expo Park by the bridge. The forest on the island, a dancing fountain, and Dragon cave are what the island is known for.

We walked through bamboo lined forest.

Light house on top of the hill.

Sweating bullets… but still nothing but smiles from these kids. I’m just so proud of them for enjoying this tour and enduring this sweltering heat. 

Kids got a kick out of this one.

I can’t really see it…

Got on a small train bus to leave the island.

Going through the tunnel

After the big breakfast, we head to explore this port city.

We arrived in Yeosu for dinner. It is a port city on South Korea’s East China Sea coast.

View from our hotel room.

Our next stop is Suncheon. It is a city in South Jeolla Province,  a scenic agricultural and industrial city

We spent about 2 hours enjoying the reserve by doing the walk along the boardwalk through the reeds.

Beautiful boardwalks through the reeds despite the blazing sun. 

So peaceful…

We saw crabs and mudskippers on a mud or climbing up grasses.

We rushed into a cafe to cool off. It is H O T.

This morning is our first day starting our Korean tour. We are heading down to the country side, eating our way to Busan city. 

First stop: Ji Ri San

Jirisan is a mountain located in the southern region of South Korea. It is the tallest mountain in mainland South Korea.
