Jinju

We woke up early yesterday morning, and I packed all my stuff up in a hurry since I hadn't started the night before. We were on the bus and ready to leave by 9am. We arrived in Jinju city at about 1pm. It's considerably smaller than Suwon, but like Suwon it has a fortress (castle in Jinju's case) as its' center and main attraction. Our motel is literally across the street from the castle, which is quite cool because we can just go for walks along it. We also live very close to the South River (main river running through Jinju).Yesterday we had a free day so me and Jacqueline went for a walk and there was a really nice market selling fruit and all other types of stuff. At night we went to the castle took some pictures.

This morning we went to the castle again and to the museum there. The castle is very pretty.
After that, we got on the bus, and went down to 통영 (Tongyong), a small town along the sea. It was really beautiful. We visited a temple at the top of a mountain, and then went down by the waterside. We were hoping to see the beach today because the promised us, but we didn't have much time, so we didn't go. It's ok though because tomorrow we'll be in 보성 (Bosung) which is right on the beach.
