I miss South Korea.
Currently I'm living in Canada and the scenery
well it's a little different.
So today I'm going to show you my favourite hiking path in my hometown
Songdo, Incheon.
The hiking path is called beyond Yeonsu Dulle-Gil.
I hope I got that pronunciation right.
It's about a 17 kilometer that goes across
three mountains and then follows a flat water way back to Songdo.
There are three bridges that connect Songdo to the mainland.
Bridge number one is where we started.
It's at the water filtration plant.
I really do not recommend starting here.
We got super lost. It took a while for us to find out where we needed to go.
B: This is the right way.
M: Really? There's no signs, there's no path!
B: Oh. I think I won.
M: Ok. So where do you see a sign?
M: Because I think you're wrong.
What I would do, and I normally do, is cross bridge number two.
Keep walking until you hit the tunnel and
there will be a path that goes up to the top of the tunnel.
and that'll put you right in between two of the mountains.
From there you can pick which way you want to go...
B: Ten minutes in...
M: A little difficult. We haven't exercised in awhile.
B: Ready to call it quits?
M: Noooo.
B: Alright, we made it to park number one.
M: That means break time for food.
B: That's all you ever wanted.
M: Nope, my butt's too big.
*Korean woman laughing*
M: It's going to be too big, too. Look.
Woman: OK
M: It looks so nice.
M: Korea, you are so beautiful.
I picked up the trail behind the Hi-mart in Yeonsu.
It was unbelievably hot, so I decided to go out on my own.
I think the temperature was sitting around 35 degrees.
I was surprised anyone was outside on that day.
*Cicadas*
I swear. It's like Super Mario 64 up here.
*Korean music*
Di-di-di-di-di
HAAAaaaaa...
Again...
That's what it's all about...
the views.
So pretty.
There's Songdo way out there.
So
I'm really hoping
at the top here
that sometimes they have ice cream or water or just anything to eat.
Because I'm absolutely dying right now.
I've got about probably two mouthfuls of water left
and right now it's like three o'clock so it's peak, peak heat right now
and I'm just getting to the summit now.
But the view is, the view is great.
Easily the coolest part about this trip is the old war buildings...
that are still intact.
I think I missed the summit.
But I don't see anyone up there, so...
There's probably no water.
That means I'm on my way down.
Down there is Munhak Park.
Which is another entry way to the mountain.
Down there is Yeonsu-gu(Yeonsu-dong*).
There's the first mountain and then on the other side, Songdo.
I'm going to call it quits here.
Mostly because I'm out of water.
I'm way too hot...
and I can see that there's another peak over there.
And I'm just way too tired.
So I'll pick up from the trail back here, number 9. Next time. And hopefully I can pick up
at a different time.
Maybe when the Sun is setting.
And with that, more stairs!
