Korea4Rivers 25

Seoul to Busan

I cycled 620 km across Korea in 12 days with my daughters, Florence and Elizabeth. Mostly quiet riverside paths, stamped passports at bright red phone boxes, lots of snacks, laughs, and a few tough hills. A brilliant trip for families and a memory I really wanted to keep somewhere.

At the Start - Incheon Dock

Passports collected and first stamp stomp. The girls loved the red phone boxes

Damned

Regularly crossing the rivered on impressive dam structures

Long-leg

Riding at sunset on the longest day - 75km

Florence‘s Turn

The girls did well ultinaming turns between tandem and bike. This help massively things interesting by splitting up segments and keeping things manageable and motivated.
