My Bus to Sokcho
Going to Bus Station, you'll see this statue which is besides the E-Mart
Arrived!!!
The Cable Car
From the cable care, just follow the steps going to one of the peaks. This is the most visited peaks since it is so easy to reach the top.
You see a lot of visitor going here. That's how easy it is
A view of another peak. That is where i'm heading next
One of the challenging thing going on solo trip is taking picture of yourself. So in here I have to run to this spot to have a good picture.
Another picture, but this time I have to ask for someone to shoot me.
and another picture with the flag. I asked a very nice lady I met. She is from Singapore.
They are the Chinese girls I met.
This is amazing. An open faucet in the air
These are bricks where they usually put their prayers or wishes...
Which way to go???
My version of stack rocks... I forgot what it is called.
I ate my sandwhich while resting besides a very cold stream
This is the peak I wanted to see
Sweating all out...
This is a very steep stairs. I almost got dizzy
A Korean solo climber very kind enough to take a picture of me :)
Last view of the peak
My late lunch a real meal
Ticket back to Seoul
Goodbye Mount Seorak.
