Adventures of a Global Wanderer
Now that the biking part of the tour was over we had one last stop by bus to a korean style church. Outwardly you would never know this was a church. There was no cross or anything to associate with this as a christian place of worship. The long main church building was closed but decoratively painted on the outside and made in traditional wood style similar to buddhist temples. There was a large bronze bell nice arched doorways to lead into the compound We could see thru the windows the inside of the church. It was all made of dark wood but I couldnt see as far as the altar. Next door was the vicarage also in traditional korean style. After that we drove back for about an hour to seoul. Nobody spoke on the bus we were all so exhausted and eager to get to the all you can eat dinner buffet. We headed to Hongdae to an Indian restaurant called Paros. For 15,000w ($13.50) they had tandoori chicken, lamb, beef, shrimp, and chicken curry, as well as some fusion food like spaghetti, cheese pasta, pork curry, and rice balls. Our favourite were the fresh naans where they were baking in their tandoor ovens. You could hear them slapping the dough as we kept ordering more naan. I actually gained more at dinner than I lost in the entire days cycling. To learn more about Ganghwa Island here is the original blog entry that inspired me to go there with information on bus routes from seoul. I did some of this itinerary but ours was probably worthwhile as I got to see more of the DMZ that I wouldnt have been able to do myself since cars are not allowed there. http://www.travelwireasia.com/2412/dest ination-ganghwa-do-anglican-church-a-go ryeo-palace-site-and-jeondeungsa-ganghw a-do-incheon/
