Last day of our beach holiday

Sokcho is actually very far North, right on the border with North Korea....just before heading home, we went to hang out in Abai Village (아바이 마을) , where many of the North Korean defectors came to settle after the split in 1952-53.

It is a charming little place, although I cannot say if we actually saw any North Koreans. We did have delicious seafood for lunch again though, and Stella even had her portrait painted!

 

We also got to see a bit of the harbour - and got that real 'fishing town' feeling.



 

Many famous Korean dramas have also been filmed here!



We were rather sad to say good bye to this lovely seaside town, and hope to return someday soon.
