Last weekend was another sunny one so we decided to hit the beach again to get our tan on. This time, Eulwangri Beach in Incheon was the destination. A group of friends were there celebrating a Birthday so Katie, Nicole and I met up with them when we arrived on Saturday.
The beach was quite busy but not crowded which was good and we were the only ones sunbathing as Koreas generally don’t like getting tanned. ‘White skin is more beautiful,’ apparently. Bars and restaurants lined the beach and the condo we stayed in was just a couple of minutes away. Everything was so close and the place had a real ‘holiday feel’ about it. I loved it.
Although it got ridiculously cold later at night, we had loads of fun. We had a little camp fire going so that (and the Soju) kept us warm. We ended up in a 누래방 (noraebang- song room) at one point with a couple of Koreans we collected along the way, who completed put us to shame. Then we finished the night doing fireworks on the beach. It was great.
Waking up in the condo the next morning was a funny sight. Bodies flat out everywhere. There were fifteen of us in the one room and because these Korean places don’t usually have beds, we were all just on the floor with blankets. Comfy, I hear you say. Well, comfier after the Soju of course!
Sunday involved lots more sunbathing on the beach and dips in the sea (not the most beautiful of waters but it did the trick.) And when the sun started to go down it was time for us to begin the journey back to Seoul.
