It was cold but we could feel warm of Korean people


 It was very cold with snow.
But there is nothing to stop us ;)



 70% of Korea is mountainous region.
We had to ride bicycle on mountain road.
Although I had a big muscle pain, I didn't give up riding a bicycle.
(Whenever I met uphill road, I shut my teeth hard.)



We went to a small restaurant. 
We ordered two freshwater fish soup I've never seen.
I think that it is local food.
Anyway, it was delicious and we demolished them in no time.



We can't ride bicycle on expressway.
We rode our bicycle on route.
Somewhere on route we took a picture and a break.


 

We arrived in a city called Gimcheon.
I know a person who live in the city.
Unfortunately, I didn't have his cellphone number.



My friend told me he reached a speed of 73.7Km/h
It was amazing. I also tried to reach a speed of 70Km/h
but I couldn't my recode is 68Km/h.




It was getting dark. We had to find a place where we can set up two tents.
We went to to a town. There were some houses.
We headed to a house that have a big front yard.
and... We asked a old lady, "Can we set up a tents in your front yard?"
"It's too cold to sleep outside. We have one guest room, so why don't you 
sleep there?" She said.
"Yahoo!! Thank you very much we are really appreciate!"



After a while, she gave us dinner.
We ate dinner in no time because we were very hungry.
Since we ride bicycles, we are hungry every time. even just after having a meal.

 
We had a lot of laundry.
Unfortunately, both of us didn't want to wash them.
We agreed to play rock-paper-scissors.
Loser should washing them.
As you can see in the video.
I lost the game and.. I spent one hour with laundry.



The following morning dawned bright.
I didn't want to wake up because it was cold.
However, we had to leave there 
because we didn't want to bother them.


 

When we stepped out, there were about to go to somewhere.
We said, "Thank you very much."
and took some pictures.



That day, the weather was so nice.
It was warmer then other days.




During riding bicycle, there was my favorite phrase.
"Climbing Land End" haha
Still my leg muscle is too weak to ride on uphill.



We visited Chung-Do city that famed for its flat persimmon



We were close to reaching our destination.




Finally, we reached Busan city that is second capital city in Korea.
During this trip, there were a lot of crucial moments.
But we didn't gave up.




Distance : 505 Km
Period : 7 Days
