I had done the Eastern South Korea Tour 9 years prior, so it was very nice to be able to do the other half. The tour guy was full of energy and lots of fun :)

Started with an old fortress site that didn't have a lot left, but nice park:

royal tomb

Next stop was Jeonju Hanok Village, definitely a highlight, very cute village:

a few cats, but not very friendly :)

Got to try local clothing:

got the king's clothes :)

Next morning, went to some small village murals:

Quick walk around:

our driver, taking us place to place, was decked out :)

After that was a nice monk center in a lovely forest:

we did a guided meditation with the monk who hosted us

The next day, we went to see a tea growing field:

and the exciting part after that was the Suncheon Bay Nature Reserve, which was very exciting to me because it had mudskippers, the first ones I've seen in the wild:

Check out the video:

From there, the next day was supposed to be in Busan, but given how much there was to do there, I opted to skip the group and do my own tour (read Busan on this page)
