Saturday morning, I popped out of bed at 5am, bright-eyed and bushy tailed, ready to begin our hiking adventure! We slipped on our new hiking boots and boarded the subway.
The Bronze Buddha of Sinheungsa
We chose the "easy" hike on Saturday. The guide convinced everyone to do a similar hike with a better view. We all agreed, looks easy, right?
We started the hike strong.
We made it up to this lookout point. Turns out, this hike was not what I would call easy.
It was beautiful, but we decided to keep trekking to see a cave.
The Climb begins. Not even close.
Still not there. The stone steps before these metal ones were basically a ladder.
And that down there, is where we WERE.
Success!
The cave was smaller than most people had imagined, but it contained a shrine and a monk was living up there. We thought it was really great.
A trip of a lifetime.
