Hiking
Had the joy of going hiking today. Not exactly sure why I agreed to that but I put it down to temporary insanity, procrastination on cleaning the flat and having nothing better to do.
Fortunately, Wes and Ally are not morning people either so we didn't leave till 12.30. Wong Chei is but it was 3 vs 1 so there was no way we were leaving til lunch time at least.
Anyway, went to this mountain (no idea what it's called) and parked the car at the bottom of the hill then had to walk to where the track started. Not really so impressed with that but it cost 5000 won to park by the track so we were parking at the bottom.
This mountain has a wall running all over the place. Looks alot like the Great Wall of China actually. The wall was built in about the 16th century according to Wong Chei.
Didn't do the whole walk because it takes about 4-5 hours to do it all and Ally had blisters but did part of it. Most of it looks alot like walking tracks in NZ, which I still have no intention of ever doing, but the further we got up the more we were walking through really narrow tracks til we were walking on a tiny track with a really steep drop down 1 side. Wong Chei had this great idea that we'd walk up to this huge rock in the distance but by that time it was about 4.30 and Allys feet were dead so we came back. Got home about 6.30 or so and have done nothing since then.
Wes had a few problems with a couple of old Korean men who complained about him having his shirt off. Wes, being Wes, refused to put it on out of the principle that he hates being told to do stuff.
Tomorrow, there's a BBQ at Wes and Ally's house so will write more then
