I had a very good sleep last night, but others were not so lucky , there is a rubbish collector truck came for their round at 4 am at our camp ground,and together with musical tune, that really disrupted their sleep. I was the last to pack up and was witnessed by some senior citizen for their morning workout. So we feel bad that we might have caused some inconvenient for them. By 8 , we rode to the opposite 7-11 store to have our breakfast. Nabil and Bunny who did not join us for the camping last night, opted for hotel in the town. They won't be joining us for today's ride as they need to box up their bike. We follow the coastal road which is very windy, and by no means is flat, there were some tough rolling hills to climb,but generally is short, everyone ( 7 ppl left ) made it without much problem. We even spent some time to detour to a tourist attraction of HaedongYonggung Temple which is beautifully built near the rocky sea coast.  From here we pressed on to another seaside beach, which we plan to find the camping ground, according to our leader Yong, a very nice camping ground with toilet and bath facilities  Yong had a front tire flat about 5 km from the beach, he managed to identify the root cause of a tiny metal chip from the tire, after changing to a new tube, we rode all the way to the Jinha beach, and  looks like whole camp ground is for us to enjoy, but the wind blowing from the sea is very strong,and this makes pitching up tents needs a little more effort. We left immediately for our late lunch in town, to find a restaurant serving only chicken,we ordered 2 plates of sesame chicken and fried chicken with everyone a big glass of Hite beer, a total cost of 47000 Won. Back to our tent and had our bath ,and a short nap. At 8 pm, we tried the Korean seafood at one of the many restaurant here, we placed our order with the help of the waitress - salted steam prawns, steam crabs, raw slice fish, many types of shell and 3 bottles of beer that comes up to 182000 Won sharing among 6 of us for 30,000 Won each, a little pricey for Malaysian standard but certainly taste good as all were cooked alive. Tomorrow will be a long ride back to Busan about 60 km,
