Day 3 - Nanjiri to Okpomyeo - 84.6kms

Tuesday 6 June 2016


2 stamp day

We headed out a bit later today with the weather starting out cool enough in the morning ...




We rode past onion & garlic farms being harvested, the smell was amazing.


The scenery was just lovely to ride through.


Lunch at a little town in the middle of the onion farms just after the passport stamping station. Hapcheonchangnyeongbo was the name of the station.

                          

The biggest hill of the day, It took about 15 minutes to walk up with the bike, but the view was amazing as was the descent.


The 2nd stamp of the day at Dalseongbo, followed quickly by ice cold refreshments as the day had warmed up significantly.


About half way on this leg of the journey. On this track we saw two snakes and a deer jumped out in front of us and bounced its way into some bushes. It all happened so fast I had no time to snap a photo.




We left the bike path and headed into a town to find food and accommodation, which was a bit more problematic than we had originally thought as the signage was pretty poor. We found a main road and just rode along that, meanwhile it was getting darker and the neon signs came on and we could now see the hotel signs and flashing lights! Hoorah! Success.

Our stop for the night with Chicken and beer for dinner - we ordered so much, and ate the lot.


Day 4
