Samcheok, July 9th

Bryce found an interesting looking cave to go to, so he and I hopped a bus to Samcheok, "world renowned as the 'Cave City,'" on Sunday afternoon. By the time we reached the cave nearly two hours later, it was raining nicely, and, on top of the humidity, it made the steep 20 minute hike to the entrance a grotesquely sticky experience. We then had to don jackets over our wet shirts to brace against the winter-like temperature inside the cave. In spite of the discomfort, the journey through the large cave was quite enjoyable. We saw such wonders as the summit of hope, cathedral of dreams, and bridge of hell, all named in true Korean style. Back in Samcheok, we decided to hang out at the beach for awhile before grabbing some food and a bus back to Gangneung.
