Ferries & Caves

Last Sunday, I went sightseeing with some friends to Chungju in the center of Korea. We took a bus down and then rode a ferry to see beautiful lakes and rocks!

 As promised, the beauty was shocking.

 It was a bit cold and dreary but this turned out to be for the best since I'd forgotten to put on sunscreen.

I was on a boat.

After the ferry ride, we went hiking to see a big natural stone arch. 

 The Stone Gate
It was pretty cool. It's hard to see them but if you look closely there are some tiny people in the corner of the above photo. The arch was, in fact, huge - a scale not really conveyed by this photo. So, obviously, the thing to do was climb on top of it. And here's the view.

 
Pretty, no?

Our tour guide told us this area was where nobles used to enjoy themselves and 'play with women.' Niiiiiice. 

Afterward, we wen't to a really big cave. This sign was posted near the exit. I thought it was a good life message to keep in mind.

Wise Korean sign.
