Travelling to Busan

Today we caught the bus to Busan, it was quite a long trip - it went all along the eastern coast of Korea, where we saw the traditionall site of Squid being dried on lengths of string all along the roadside.

It was a time for us to relax, but the bus only made one stop for a comfort break and then barely 15 minutes so we were bursting by the time we got to the service station.

When we arrived at the bus station in Busan (pronounced Pusan) we had to get the tube into the centre, to do that we had to buy a travel card, this took a little time, but all went well.

We checked with the Tourist info place and they recommende a hotel - I have to say The Angel Hotel was not the best we have stayed at but adequate, but who can complain at 44,000 won approx 23 UK pounds for the room, which did include air conditioning - which was mosdt welcome.

Once we arrived we did a bit of exploring, we were right in the middle of a busy shopping district.
