Gyeongpo Lake (part 4)

In the wee early morning of August 17, 2014, we're in the middle of mist-covered lake. Was it because the sun's not shining as it should have been? Dunno. One thing for sure, the lake? if I got to describe it, for its sheer beauty, we couldn't ask for more, i.e. that is...as long as we arrive there early in the morning.^^ 

No one else was around. Just us.

There're these binoculars(?) that we could use free of charge to closely sample the majestic view of the lake in the morning.

Eyra and Freya took turn in using them. 

It's Freya's turn..and yes..I could see that she pretty much enjoyed the fun she got. 

These two little girls were preoccupied with the landscape. No..from what I overheard of their conversation, they'd been trying hard to locate the DUCKS!!! ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 

Even Freya got to tilt her feet so as to be able to use the binoculars. 

As for their Mom, she's alone...admiring another section of the lake.

Gee..it's indeed a serene feeling...being there alone.

Gyeongpo Lake (part 2)

On our 2nd day @ Gangneung, we explored the area around Gyeongpo Lake-which turned out to be quite close to our pension. The lake is 6 km wide..and we could rent a bike to go around it. Or, we can just walk or run around it since jogging and walking track is available. It's still shivering cold that morning..and we're ready to explore the whole area. Are you ready, Freya? 

First, we noticed a flock ..no...a family of ducks freely began 

their morning activities. 

Now let us began what we encountered along the track that circled the lake:

First (joking)...it's a cat doll.^^ Yes, this is Eyra and Freya's cat plush-toy that they brought along to Gangneung for this trip. 

아버지 훙판서와 부인 유 씨.  

hmm I forgot what it was. 

But..boy..this one really cracked us up. 어릴적 동네 친구들. 

 I wonder how on earth they could expose this b*tt to the public. (just kidding). Of course, it's fun^^ 

재물을 누눠주는 활빈당원들^^

Korean Robin Hoods who shared the wealth^^ 

and yes...if we circled the whole area of the lake, we'd end up finding lots of statues with stories behind them.^^
