Our first trip to Mallipo beach

 First things first. Lance and I were finally able to find an English GPS for Korea thank goodness! Without this we would have never made it to Mallipo! We've named her Bonnie.  :) 

So here are some pictures from the drive. 

A couple of interesting Hotels.

 

Lots and lots of apartments. 

 

More apartments.....

 

And more apartments which Lance and I agreed were quite hideous. 

 

There aren't many houses in South Korea but every once in a while you can find houses that are enormous. I almost didn't believe this was a house. We passed quite a few beautiful homes on the way to Mallipo. 

 

A random statue. We weren't sure what it was a statue of, but it was huge. 

 

And after just an hour and a half of driving we finally made it!

 

 

The beach was beautiful.

 

We found lots of starfish. 

 

 

Lance and I walked along the beach for about an hour collecting shells. We found some really cool ones but I forgot to take pictures of them. I did manage to get a picture of a shell with a little guy still in there. It popped out a few times but quickly went back inside his shell.  I don't think he liked us very much.

After our walk on the beach we stopped to have some lunch at a pizza place run by Koreans who also lived in the back of the restaurant.

 

Lance was busy reading all the Korean signs in the restaurant.

 

After lunch we decided to head down to the lighthouse and the boardwalk.

 

 

 

 

We found little love notes scratched into the wood

  

After we left the boardwalk we found an epmty  area out of the way so we climbed down the rocks and sat there for a while. 

 

We left this little area and found a few carnival rides. All of them were for little kids except one ship ride that swings you high into the air. So we rode that which was awesome because we got to see a beautiful view of the ocean from really high up while having the crap scared out of us :)  On our way out we also found ziplines right next to the beach. We would have tried that out today but I was too scared. Maybe next time though.

We really enjoyed our first trip to Mallipo and we can't wait to go in the summer.
