Our Favourite Hike...





Despite blistering heat on Sunday, we set off for Kaejoksan mountain and hiked up for a beautiful view of the city. On the backside of the mountain you see more low peaks layered off into the horizon and at the very top there is a traditional ancestral grave (probably the best view in the city, which means this ancestor was well-loved by his/her family). Also, one of the huge perks of hiking in Korea is finding cafes and restaurants along the way and on Sunday we found a new little cafe that has opened near the base of the trail. Air conditioning, cold beverages, jazz music, a man-made waterfall babbling outside... it was a lovely spot to relax after conquering the mountain.
