Busan’s busy railway station and KTX bullet train
Today dawned steamy over the busy port city of Busan. While we breakfasted, the usual clusters of eager port explorers were making their way to the waiting batch of buses and an exciting day touring ABT’s
Smart travellers like us research thoroughly and today was to be a leisurely trip through the Korean countryside on the bullet train. Not all the way to Seoul mind you, just 40 minutes at 300km per hour to Daegue.
Now South Korea is very mountainous and therefore two thirds of the journey was through tunnels, giving us a birds-eye view of this country from the inside. (Nobody told us about the tunnels— must write to Google) We did however see some rice fields and other farming produce, briefly glimpsed between exiting one and entering another tunnel.
We had an hour in Daegue and while Korean barbecue was nowhere to be found, there was sufficient adventurous time for Bill and Wendy to have lunch at Hungry Jacks while we took in tacos at the local Mexican.
And so back to the port and our floating home for another 2 weeks
