Back from our trip


We had the most amazing vacation to Busan, South Korea.  Busan is on the southern shore of South Korea, and it is said to be the San Diego of Korea.  We left with the conclusion that Busan is now in our top 5 favorite cities that we have ever been to.

Day 1:
We took a 3 hour train ride across the entire country and arrived in Busan.
On the train to Busan.  We watched Lord of the Rings, (it was Katie's first time seeing it.)

By the grace of God, we found our motel without much of a problem.
This was our bathroom.  The toilet is in the shower.


We unloaded our bags and went straight to Starbucks.
They had espresso shot cake!  Dump a shot into the middle of a chocolate cake.  I'm not sure if they have this in the states or not, but they should.


We took the subway to Haeundae beach and went to the aquarium.
Snake Neck Turtle.
Jelly fish.  It was whimsical.


The cutest penguins ever.
It's a shame this is their name.
Frightening face.
As I was talking to Ryan, one snuck up right behind me and I let out a loud squeal, causing a scene.
A head bubble in the middle of a fish tank.  Brilliant.
A car turned into a fish tank.  If you look close, you'll see some sting rays.



After the aquarium we went to the beach for a few hours.


Then we found heaven...a mexican restaurant!  We ate the most glorious burritos.


Then we hung around the city a little longer, went back to our motel, watched a movie and went to sleep.
Right near our motel there was a water and light show every night.  It was similar to the Bellagio show.


Day 2:
Woke up and went to Starbucks, (it's fine, we hadn't been to Starbucks since we have been in Korea.)
We took the subway back to Haeundae Beach and rented bikes for three hours.  We spent the entire time riding up and down the coast.
Try to picture this without that ugly truck in the middle.  
We rode to the edge of a peak with a light house.
We rode to the top of a hill with a great view of the ocean and city.

We took a break from our ride to get some smoothies!

We walked around the city for a while and went to a few different markets along the back allies of the busy streets.

We then went back for more burritos!

And then went to our hotel, watched a scary/weird movie, (Close Encounters of the Fourth Kind), and then got some rest in order to wake up at 5:30 to catch the train back to Seoul.

It was our favorite vacation together!
