Yangdong, 30 minutes by bus, is a preserved old Korean village founded over 500 years ago and apparently still occupied by many of the original families. We arrived during a presentation ceremony for artists so there was music and dancing - brought back memories of border Morris! The village was interesting too. Another 20 minutes by bus took us to a Confucian academy - nice buildings, but ... The village next door was much better.
The third day we breakfasted in the market (see Judy's picture) (all you can eat for a fiver) then hired bikes to cycle to Buddhist carvings and temples. Took a "shortcut" back but there was a mountain in the way! Not one of his better ideas! We did it anyway.
Now in Jinju where we had the best lunch - huge and only £7. Then staggered around the fortress. Off hiking again tomorrow.
