Choosok Holiday #3...Day trip to...?





My friend Rachel-Lynn has her best friend Marilyn visiting from Canada this holiday so this was an excuse for Heidi and I to tag along out of Seoul for the day. We met up at 8:30 am on Wednesday with the plan of making the 9:30 ferry out to Dok Jok Island. Around 9:29 our plans changed as we were still ten subway stops and a taxi ride away from the port. But we remained hopeful and went through the motions of going out to the boat terminal anyway. As we got into the taxi we tried with all our might to come up with plausible reasons why the boat was going to be leaving late and we could actually make it. None of them came true.

We were stuck in Inchoen for the day much to Heidi's delight. The morning was spent out by the pier eating some breakfast. We then tried out the public exercise equipment that sat a few feet away. These things were great you lifted your own body weight using different muscles with many of them and on others you got to spin and wiggle. I'm not sure if they are set up back home yet but they should be no matter all the warning/liability signs you would need to post around them.

We then got to watch a water show to Simon and Garfunkel songs in front of steroid sized dolphins. But to say watch would be an abuse of the word as it was more about posing for different photo ops we've come to learn since being in Korea.
