Sunday day trip to Chungju (충주)

On Friday evening we helped our Kiwi friend Dayle celebrate his birthday. There was a good turnout of fellow teachers and we had a nice time eating dinner, having a beer and singing at a karaoke room. Yesterday we relaxed at home all day, so that we could rest up for our big day trip.

Today we took the bike to Chungju, a city 35 miles south of Wonju. It was a perfect day for a ride! We didn't go into the city proper, but opted to head to the biggest dam in Korea. We took a 3 hour tour on the man-made lake and took in some beautiful scenery. When we got back on land, we hopped on the bike and made it back to Wonju in an hour.
