phew!
been on the move today
from dawn till dusk
hopping on and off local buses
in and out of identical bus stations
deciphering the same mad timetable boards
keeping in the shade
soaking up the aircon
down here on the south coast
any time between around ten and six
the heat is unbearable
the sun beats you relentlessly
i can feel it start to roast my epidermis
the moment i step out of the shade
not that i am complaining
i haven't seen much of the yellow fellow
since the accidental grilling i took at ggotchi beach
nothing but rain rain rain
i need a boost to my vitamin d levels...
rewind to five am
a lonely bus journey through the dawn fog
to the end of the peninsular near yosu
a steep climb up through the damp sea mist
to hyangilam hermitage
unfortunately the visibility of the sunrise is squat diddly
the early morning insect orchestra rudely interrupted
by the circular saw of the temple restoration ajossis
some you win and some you lose
i leave cholla province and cross over into kyungsan
tongyeong harbour is spectacular
especially viewed from my sixth-floor motel panorama
(i have treated myself to a little luxury this time)
also spectacular is the coast road
winding around the island of gojedo
linked to tongyeong by a bridge
i meet more friendly souls today
who want to help this eccentric foreigner
to find his way
some you lose and some you win
