Since we may well be spending a good part of our remaining trip in urban areas, we thought today might be a good opportunity to get out of town and explore a bit. We decided to head for Deokjeokdo, a relatively small island an hour's ferry ride from the last subway stop on the Seoul metro. We were pleasantly surprised how rural and undeveloped it was considering it's proximity - the local fisherwomen who greeted us on the pier tried their best to sell us some live squid. We were even more impressed with the beach we found a short bus ride away at Seopori. Not only was it sandy, 2km long and 50m wide, but it was virtually deserted. In fact there were precisley two other couples there, one of which was a pair of Honeymooners. We knew this because, as Korean Tradition dicates, they were wearing matching outfits. What a super idea.So we whiled away a lovely day, reading and splashing in and out of the shallow water before reluctantly catching the ferry and metro home.
