Summer Escapade in Samcheok Part 1

"A stark summer time indites with cool ocean breeze,

aplomb wind under a tree, and a grub for all."

July 30, 2010, I arrived at Samcheok City to spend a week summer vacation. It took 4 hours from my city going there to my sister Juvy's place. I felt so excited and relaxed that time. I was sure that something great and memorable events await me there. I just wanted to replenish with new memories my lonesome heart. Best fetched me at the bus terminal and we had our late lunch together and spent our time having chitchat.

Palace Tourist Hotel and dinner at Sky Lounge.

Around 6 o'clock in the afternoon, one of my sister's friends invited us for a dinner at Palace Tourist Hotel which is situated atop the cliffs of Donghaean (East Coast) Ocean, giving the impression that the ocean looks more like a large garden. The hotel boasts the ambiance of quiet, pristine nature. We had dinner in Sky Lounge and we were entertained with songs by the two Pinoy singers working there. What a wonderful time we had and a slaked dinner.

Sunrise and bonding with sister at Samcheok Beach.

July 31, Saturday afternoon, my eldest sister arrived in Samcheok as well. 'Twas a wonderful reunion of us. That night, we went to the beach--- Samcheok Beach, Located 1.4 kilometers away from the downtown area, Samcheok Beach is easily accessible and has a vast white-sand beach that is 1.2 kilometers long and 100 meters wide. Its clean white sand and shallow waters make it even more mesmerizing especially in hot summer days. Its beautiful natural environment has also made it a favorite filming location for Korean movies and dramas. The movie April snow, One fine spring day, and drama South of the sun were filmed here. The beach has a unique beauty and ambience in every season.

Beaches from my city way back in Phil. got in my mind (literally, I can smell it.).

'Twas a memorable weekend that I have. 

Perfect! Awesome! Wonderful!
Taken at Wishing Tower and Marine Deck

We went as well to the Wishing Tower and Marine Deck just along the drive course. I really enjoyed the scenery despite of the brightness of the sun.. Thanks Best Juvy and Kuya Bal Dev for accommodating us, and to Bessy Jern as well for the great time. Until next time...
