Sunday
We had planned on taking a ferry out to Maemul-do Island to enjoy the natural seascape but our info was slightly skewed in that we could take a ferry out there but there wouldn't be a return trip until tomorrow. We opted not to sleep on the beach this time and went to Hansan-do Island instead. Hansan-do is much closer (30mins. compared to 90) and it was also a scenic excursion. This island is famous as the headquarters of the army that defeated the Japanese all those years ago. On the island we visited a shrine to the Admiral and the old fortress he had built. After returning to Tongyeong we took a cab to the local history museum and were treated to an english tour. Across the road was a building remaining from the cities original fortifications so we checked that out as well. Our tour guide for the day was one of Brandon's coworkers, Anna. It's back to school for us tomorrow but it seems like next weekend is lining up to be very interesting...
