Hike around Saryang Island and Tongyeong

I spent last weekend on a tour trip down to Tongyoung, proceeded by a seven-hour hike around the island of Saryang-do. The hike was lovely, intense, intimidating, the full day of bus rides back to Seoul on Sunday was awful.

A handful of pictures from the weekend.
