South South Korea part 2

Jeonju - it's the capital of Jeollabuk-do province and has a beautiful Hanok village that we explored. Hanoks are the traditional one story houses with curvy slate roofs and the autumn leaves makes them look even more attractive. It's the birthplace of Bibimbap (rice, egg vegetables and a hot sauce in a big bowl that has to be mixed with chopsticks then eaten with a spoon- if you get this wrong you get told off by wither the staff or other people in the restaurent as we have now found out a fe times) so we've had plenty of that and we have also tried fried ginsing, appaently it's really good fo you? i'm not sure why they insist on deep fat frying it though.

We have had a couple of hiking day trips too;
1. Daedunsan provincial park, this was beautiful and the climb to the craggy peak included a cable bridge from one peak to the other and a very big ladder. Once we startedheading towards a second peak when thunder and lighting started. The rain was so heavy it was difficult to walk on the stone tracks that were now super slippy from all the wet leaves. It tookus an hour to get down to the cablecar where we were packing in like sardines and wisked to the bottom where we went for a traditional Korean sauna, it was so nice to be warm!!
2.Naejangsan - today was boiling hot and bright blue skies. We climbed up a steep ridge and then spent the day going from peak to peak. The views at the top were really beautiful in every direction. The ridge is in the shape of an amphitheatre with a big temple in the middle so we could often hear the chanting and singing as we went arond.
