Korea in series: Scenery/Highlight

Some things just stand out among the rest. This was one of those moments/highlights:

The Munkyong Rail Bike:


They were original spur lines that used to run to Mungyeong-eup and Kaeul. However they have been discontinued and part of them have become bike paths, with rental rail-running bikes running on the original tracks - an obvious attraction that no die hard tourist and back packer included can resist.


My mum and I pedalled like mad - no thanks to the lack of exercise. But of course, the scenery, fantastic (sweat glands? what, sweat glands?) weather and company more than made up for it.




Photo taking was particulary trying though: Pedal, balance my cam bag, change lens, pedal somemore, balance again, take pictures, pedal somemore. You get the picture.
