Trip around Korea, part three

Tuesday 5 July
This morning we got on the bus to Jeonju which is just one hour north of Gwangju. First thing we did was to go to the Hanok village, and try the famous Bibimpop there. In the Hanok village we went to a really nice tea place, and looked around in the different art and craft shops. Since it was already quite late in the evening we decided to stay in a traditional Korean house in the Hanok village for the night. I the evening we went out to Maekolli Town, there we met some nice locals who wanted to drink with us.

Arriving in Seoul in the evening concluded this 7 day trip around Korea, we mostly travelled by bus, but also did hitch hiking a few times.
