After a relaxing sea day yesterday we were out on the dock by 8.30 this morning and boarding our bus for the morning excursion. It's been cold in South Korea and it was around 7 degrees this morning. After a short drive we arrived at the Oryukdo Skywalk where we had to don soft overshoes to walk on the glass overhang for views of the sea and around. There are 6 small islands visible and on a clear day it's possible to see across to Japan, but it wasn't quite clear enough today. We ventured up to an even higher viewpoint with banks of daffodils and looked down towards the Skywalk.
Our other destination was the Haedong Yonggungsa Buddhist Temple built on a rock clinging to the side of the cliff running down to the sea. We had 90 minutes here to explore the temples and surroundings.
Although it remained cold, the sun came out and it was very pleasant walking around. We had to go down 108 steps before climbing the uneven steps up to the main temple so we generated our own heat.

The temple looks lovely. Glad the sun came out for you. Things can look so much nicer in the sunshine. xx
