This weekend I headed to Gurye-gun. A friend is part of Korea on the Rocks and they were going climbing at Youngseo Popko (The Forgiving waterfall) everyone had gone down on Friday night, so I had to head out.. on public transport.. by myself. We all know what happened last time I took public transport on my own... I ended up taking a 6 hour detour!So I got to the bus station, managed to but a ticket to Iksan, got on the bus, got to Iksan bus station, managed to Iksan train Station, got a ticket and was on a train an hour earlier than predicted and managed to get a seat! Yay me!!!
While on the train I managed to pick up 2 English guys who were also part of the climbing group.We got a taxi to the water fall and it was beautiful. For the whole weekend, I basically just lay around in the sun, read my book, socialised and enjoyed being out of 'The Goon'. There was about 30 'yong-gooks' and quite a few Brits there, which was nice. I also met an American whose Grandmother lives in Chester!!!Louise and I hiked up to the top of the waterfall to watch the sunset and take some photos. Then in the evening we had a camp fire and some singing. As there were a lot of people, it turn into slightly like spring break but on the rocks so there were a few 'men down' because of too much booze, too many rocks and lack of light.I ended up camping in Louise's tent with her and doing pretty much the same relaxing as on Sunday.
We headed home and only managed to standing seats. We managed to find a ledge to sit on in one of the cars, however it had a full view of the men's toilets, where the men never seem to be bothered to close the door!
