The End of the road<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Well, Korean Love Hotels are not the best place for a good nights sleep \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n

I was on the road at 9 am and headed up Highway 1 to the DMZ checkpoint where 1 finishes (at the moment), I tried to blag my way in but the guard soldiers and there superior weren’t\u00a0having it.<\/p>\n

I headed back, Last night I noticed a road went to a bend in the border river so I headed up on the 37, amazingly busy even today. I then came off at the first turning and was greeted by splendid river views and the hills in the DMZ. As a bonus I also visited a lovely, rebuilt, pagoda style platform ( whasookjeong)\u00a0where Yi Sack meditated and wrote poetry, it still has a serene air to it even though Route 37 runs close to it.<\/p>\n

I then followed the DMZ route which I found somewhere \ud83d\ude42 amazing to see all the cemetries on the hillsides from the war plus all the tank traps on the road. No wonder the war was so long, the hilly terrain with deep valleys must have been hell to fight in.<\/p>\n

I eventually got tired and and headed South to Jeongok to find a bed, no problem today as a motel had a huge 10-foot sign on its roof \ud83d\ude42 The Mu Hotel is very pleasant and the goodie bag is far more conventional in its contents! The roof is ginormous with ultra-fast upload speeds.<\/p>\n

A great day with the sort of hills I love, short & steep \ud83d\ude42 The countryside is\u00a0interesting. I find it astounding how rural and urban are so clearly separated\u00a0like ancient & modern worlds.<\/p>\n

Strava says I did 49.5 miles and 2300 feet <\/a>of climbing (it felt a lot more)<\/p>\n
