Route 5 starts at Namwon Pogu (Port) and follows the most beautiful seaside trail to eventually reach the Soesokkak Estuary. Today was calm and with a public holiday for Children’s Day, quiet.
The Korean National Institute of Fisheries Science was celebrating its 95th birthday today as we walked past and we were given presents of rice cakes and a gym towel with their logo. How nice!
