Day Tour - Ganchon Rail Bike 강촌레일파크

Waiting for tour guide's pick up at 800am. Im all well
prepared with my café latte. Except the weather reads
22 deg & cloudy. Feeling the chills as I stand waiting
at Dongdaemun subway exit.

Off we go! It's going to be an hr plus ride to Gapyeong. Along
the way, I spotted my next destination, Seoul Forest!
가 포고 싶은 곳!

Look at the cloudy sky. Tour guide says that there may be light
showers of rain...oh no...hoping that the sun will be out.

Entering tunnels

Because of the surrounding scenery, I really quite enjoy the long
rides.

왔다,우리 = )

Waiting in line to catch the 10am bike! It's nice to
be the first = )

Statue at the Gangchon Rail Park.
무슨 생각이 있나요?

Safety belt all buckle up and ready to set off
as the first 4-seater rail bike for the day ~
 


Smile for the camera and off we go!

This is no joking matter. You really need to have taken your
breakfast to off load those calories with the biking. We paddled
very hard indeed.

20 meters ahead warning to stay on track.

해바라기를 봐!

As we enter the first tunnel, there were rainbow lights

Flashing streams of light and music = )

End of one tunnel

Approach a farm ahead

The scenery was so good and I believed it will be really awesome
if I came in spring / autumn. awww

Entering another tunnel with magical spotlights

They are really good with creating atmosphere.
There was another tunnel that I really liked & surprised to see
(gonna give a spoiler here) - Bubble tunnel. I took a video so
couldn't share it here. Cant be captured on photos. You
just have to see it for yourself!

Just look at riverside we've ride alongside with. Cant take my eyes
off it.

We are starting to struggle with the paddling.
A good 45mins of non stop paddling which
you can call it a workout = )
근데 바람이 볼면서 힘이 금방 냈어.

We are finally arriving at our destination! YAY

Completed the rail bike!

At the rest-stop as we wait for our train ride back
to the rail bike starting point.
Just relaxing and mesmerized  by the lovely
surroundings.

엄청 예뻐 죠?

Cannot resists more photos

Have always wanted to go on the Gangchon rail
bike but only had a chance till now. No regrets.
If you've yet to try, I definitely recommend you
to sign up for it.

작은 폭포도 있거든 =)

Taken on the open top train ride back to the starting point.

Picturesque

And after a really tiring morning, the tour guide had kindly picked
us up and we are off to our next destination, very excitedly, because
we are having lunch!

추천 닭갈비 집


Side dishes were served. We were really famished.

And you know what is best with Korean food - side dishes!

How can you not have these to go with 비비큐 닭갈비 ?
I almost burst into tears twice when I attempted a whole garlic
in one of my wrapped chicken = /

The best part of it all is really those cheesy cheese dips!

Seaweed soup on every occasion. Love the soup because it taste
really thick in a homemade style.

Oh and I had a picture for prove! = )

After satisfying our tummy, we head onto the tour guide's car
to our next destination...
