Sokcho: Third time is Charming
As many of you saw via the plethora of photos on my Instagram story (sorry not sorry 🙈) we spent some of our Chuseok holiday in Sokcho! Sokcho is a little beach city on the East Coast that is also nestled into the grandiose mountains of Seoraksan National Park and only about 2.5 hours by bus from Seoul! (And only an hour or so from North Korea! Which means... Lots of interesting history! (You thought I was going to say we went to North Korea, didn't you?!)) Anyway, we had tossed around the idea of going somewhere new (we had a week off for Chuseok so we had time) but we just love the place so much so why not go back? So glad we did! Day 1 Our hotel was in the National Park area so we were only about 10 minutes from the entrance and about 20 minutes from town (btw, all my measurements are in times by bus) so we were really out of the city and plopped right into nature--exactly what we wanted. Our hotel, which was more of a hostel/guesthouse, was super cute. Nothing fan...
