Circling Around The Gyeongpo Lake (part 1)

Since we still had 3 hours left before checking out, we decided to spend the time (again) at the lake and this time, instead of walking around, we rent a pedicab? ..a four-wheeled bike??....a bike-car?? oh,well..we called it 'sepeda ceria' 

30,000 Won for 6 people for one-round of circling the 6-km long lake.^^ 

Eyra & Freya were at the front seats specially designed for kids. As for us, well, we did most of the pedaling. 

It was really fun. 

The weather was friendly to us.^^ I mean..no scorching heat at all.  

We took turn to pedal and steer the 'sepeda ceria' as only one driver was necessary to maneuver the bike.^^ The rest? pedaling while enjoying the scenery.

At picture-perfect point of interest, we just parked the bike and got off from it to let us enjoy the view and...well, what's not to like about 'capturing some pictures'? 

One... 

Two...takes. *with monopod or tongsis in my right and. 

Gangneung Trip (part 6)

These are pictures I took when the kids were 'meditating' @ the shore. 

ㅋㅋㅋ again..I didn't know exactly what Freya was looking at, thinking about, pondering about...when she was gazing onto the sea....^^ 

But, I just couldn't help myself....pointing my phone to take the pics while she's just standing still.... 

and what a view. I mean...with a seashell protruding out of the sand right in front of the lenses, I was trying to capture the moment...

Yes... it was meant to be one of those picture-perfect moment^^ 

then..along came her sister, Eyra, who seemed to be so actively distracted by the endless possibilities of playing with the water... 

again....when her sister left...Freya stood still (AGAIN)...gazing onto the sea.^^

ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 

wait...she's like making a wish? ㅋㅋㅋ 

and that's when I approached her and...hey...snap out of it, Freya.

let's just play with the sand.^

Gangneung Trip (part 2)

We were trapped on the bus for about 4 hours. It was supposed to be 2 hour 40 minute trip..but since it was a loooong weekend, highway did not seem to help us speed the travel up. We barely move 1 km for 20 minutes! Gee....  we're practically 'standing still' on the road.^^Luckily we could always do something to entertain ourselves. 

As for me, taking pictures is a must. Although it's summer with all of the greenery dotted the landscape...nothing special, compared to Autumn or winter^^, yet it's a great way to spend the trip on the bus. 

As for the kids, they behaved well enough...and not to be cranky with the fact that we're somewhat 'trapped' in the middle of highway.  

Finally, at about 1 pm..gee..4 hour trip from Seoul to Gangneung...we made it. 

We arrived safely at the bus terminal...and then... 

looking at the map of where we were to decide how to get to the pension we reserved--> which turned out to be quite far away from the city center.
