Green Acres

I've just uploaded some of the greenest pictures I've ever taken. This past weekend, DK and I made a long bus trip to Boseong, via Suncheon. After more than 4 hours on the road (from Daegu - It would be nearly 6 hours from Daejeon!), we hopped off at the nationally famous Boseong Green Tea Fields. We spent the afternoon walking up and down through the greenness, snacking on green tea ice cream, and purchasing some high-quality tea products. This area also features a bamboo forest at the entrance area.

As evening set, we bused it again to the coast south of the fields. Yulpo Beach is a small touristy coastal village whose draw is the green tea sauna. (Click over to my other blog to find more information about that place!) We also enjoyed some more green tea foods that aren't available in other parts of the country.

Then Sunday, after a decent night in a cheap guesthouse, we just slept in, looked around a bit more, had lunch and headed back to Suncheon for the long journey home. Unfortunately, our bus transfer wasn't as smooth as the trip south, so we had to spend an hour in Suncheon. Still, I got home at a reasonable hour, unlike most of my weekend excursions. :)
