Esso Coffee Shop at Jisepo.

It took a long time but now also Jisepo has a place to drink coffee. There are two more places, but one serves no fresh made coffee and the other one at the museum, was most of the time closed when I tried to have a coffee, so I gave up on that one.
The only thing at Esso Coffee is that the menu is al Korean, but they speak a little English. And very special, it went with a cookie.
You can find this pleace nearby the boats to Oedo, along the road.

Cappuccino

DALDAL, coffee shop at Okpo

Today it was time to try another place. Last time my eye catched DALDAL, so I checked it. My favorite drink at a coffee place is cappuccino. The price was ok, KRW 3800, so was the taste.
The shop was heated, that's comfortabel instead of drinking a coffee with one's coat on.
They provide you with a card, the fith time they serve free cookies, the 10th an americano and the 15th time a drink you can choose.

You can find it at "restaurant road" next to the Mexican restaurant and at the opposite side from  Paris Baguette.

Suwon Hwaseong Fortress.; weekend trip

About 380 km drive from Jisepo, between the 5 and 6 hours,  you can find the Hwaseong Fortress and Hwaseong Haenggung. The original structure is built from January 1794 – September 1796 by King Jeongjo. During the Korean War a lot of the structures have been destroyed and the restoration started in 1975.

It is possible to walk around the town on the wall and this will take at least 2 hours. We enjoyed the views and took some closer looks at special buildings which we haven’t seen at other Fortress, so it took us 3 hours. A nice place too start the walk is close to Paldamun. You start with a steep walk .After de Fortress, walk from Paldamun to the Palace. The combined ticket costs KRW 3500.

To find the place, we put in the following telephone number: 031-251-4435.

The hotel was at walking distance from the Fortress and a local market. The name is Hotel Queen (0312428948).

Personal is very kind, the first morning the waited for us to enjoy the breakfast, we didn't know that it was included, and came too late! The car cabn be parked under the hotel at the parking lot.

Mario del Monaco and Starbucks opposite Cheomseongdae

On a rainy day in Gyeongju, last visit I experienced the same, is it nice to try some coffee shops. This one has a view on Cheomseongdae, the oldest astrological observatory in the Far East.
The coffee and the tea are good, but expensive, KRW 5000 each. It has a unique atmosphere, so I guess that's why.

Past the test.

A little further along the road was a recent opened Starbucks. We had to try some desserts, yummy.
Afterwards we drove a block to see what to visit for the next day.
