Busan!

So, it has been awhile... Jay and I apologize, but to be fare we have been uber busy with travelling and hosting.. and I  guess our job!

In April, Jay took me to Busan for my birthday! He had planned the whole thing! It was a great birthday present!

We took the KTX then the subway over to Beomeosa, a beautiful temple and the start of our never ending hike. Jay loves the adventure of a hike, and from the book it looked doable and lengthwise fairly good. Were we ever wrong, turns out it was super steep, and for 6 hours we hiked and hiked and exhausted ourselves. We hiked up Geumjeongsan hoping to get to another temple at the end, but by the time we got there (now 7pm and getting dark) it was closed, we plan to return. However the hike was beautiful and we pretty much hiked from one side of Busan to another. We followed an old fortress wall and saw so many beautiful sites.

By the end we were exhausted and sore and ready to fall asleep in the love motel... well somebody (Jay) didn't print off the address to our hotel.. and the main area where we were staying is packed. So we spent probably about another hour walking around asking people. Some people were really nice, pulling out there phones and locating it, trying to tell us directions, when finally one man googled it, and told us to get into his car and drove us there! It was so nice of him!

We slept like babies! The next day we got up and headed to Haeundae beach. It was foreigner central! I felt like I was back home. We taxi'd over to Yonggungsa Temple. It is located right on the ocean. IT was so beautiful and peaceful.

It was a fantastic trip and we hope to return!
