Miss Annie (who I will tell you about someday), and I went to the East Sea for this past weekend. The weather made us a little nervous, because all we saw in the forecast was rain, rain and more rain. The bus ride there was actually a pretty good one, considering how rainy it was. We started a few hours later than we anticipated, but we arrived in Gangneung around 2:45 on Saturday afternoon.
Waiting there for us was our shuttle to the Pension where we stayed for Saturday night in the Gyungpo Beach area. There weren't too many people around the area considering it was a rainy weekend, but was also not yet June as well. This made for quite a peaceful and lazy day on Saturday. We walked in the rain along the beach for a little bit, and then went back to the Pension where we were going to have a little BBQ up on the rooftop (just like a song).
We met a couple that was also cooking, who was celebrating their Wedding Anniversary and we had a few drinks with them after dinner. I honestly thought this couple was in college, but turns out they were older than Annie, and I both. We had a pretty good time with the couple, and even took a stroll down to the beach together after Miss Annie discovered that the rain was gone around 10pm. Annie even danced with me for a little bit along the shoreline.
On Sunday the sun decided to show its face, and it did so very early. We woke up and started the day by going to a little area famous for traditional Tofu --- I know what you're thinking -- that sounds so delicious. We were both starving and it was actually pretty appetizing as well. We then got a taxi to a train station that took us from Kangneung to Jeongdongjin -- it was just a fifteen minute train ride, but somehow I still caught a nap. We took some pictures a long the beach, and visited a place called Hassla Art World. I'm not into artsy places, but the outdoor sculpture park at this place was definitely an awesome time. There was even art made of cow poo, under a big circus-like tent.
We ate a pretty nice lunch at this place as well -- we got to take in some pretty nice views of the sea while we were eating. There were more views to take in from various places of this "Art World" though as well.
I leave you with some pictures.
