Mokpo

Jay and I got a big group of friends to go down to Mokpo, the South West of Korea. We were supposed to go down and stay in a huge pension on the beach. We would take a quick ferry from the main land to the island and have a nice relaxing weekend.... However, it pored rain, so the ferry was closed. So we had to make alternative plans on the spot... Which had to include Kip! :)

We quickly went searching for a love motel, and with our broken Korean we managed to find one with enough rooms, and cheap for us to stay in. We went and had lunch which we discovered Vietnamese Shaboo Shaboo! Delicious! It was stocked piled with veggies and to top it off it was pumpkin rice at the end!

Later, I was getting frustrated sitting in our room with all the rain so I suggested a hike.. and everyone was up for it! Off we went, the group of us splashing in the rain and found ourselves a nice little hike that looked onto the Gatbawi Rocks. They are meant to be a son and father who had died and rocks rose from there.

The next day we followed the original plan and went to Yudulsan Park. There was botanical gardens and a sculpture park. We all felt like we were in the secret garden, it was stunning!

Turned out to be a great weekend despite all the rain!
