What we took 2 days from Busan to Jinha beach camp, we did it in one day for a distance of 60.5 km as we basically follow the same route, with 60% downhill over 40% uphill on the return journey, the tailwind makes it even more enjoyable to ride, we makes fewer stops, 2 to be exact, one at a mando ( chinese dumpling ) shop where we were attracted by the many steamy aluminium trays, I and Gerard shared 2 plates of meat mando and siew mai for 6000 won, the other is a coffee stall at the top of a steep climb before Songjeong town. Our plan to have lunch in Songjeong strongly recomemded by Gerard did not materialize as it was still too early. We proceed on a very fast pace, and soon we arrived in Busan city,but we plan to stay near the Busan train station, so we had to cycle thru the very busy street where our riding was really no fun. If we goes on the main road, the cars were very fast and often the drivers like to stop or park at the side, if we stay on the walking lane or bike path, too many pedestrian and often we had to ring the bell. We arrived at the Busan Station almost 3 pm, the 1st motel was not successful as there wasn't any space to park our 7 bikes. The 2nd one,just about 100m away had better facilities, and a car parking lot to park our bikes. After cleaning up and a short rest, we went to a " Chinese Restaurant" for dinner at 6 pm, we were caught by surprise, there were no one that can speak a word of Mandarin. And the funny part is, we ordered our dish thru the smartphone communication with someone speaking mandarin. The dish turn out to be a failure,not only the food is unsatisfactory,but very expensive too, 80000 won sharing with 6 comes out to 13300 each. We took a slow walk and found a night market selling all kinds of stuffs like street food, veges, fish and most of us stop to buy the colorful jersey and long pants price ranging from 5000 -1000 won, the quality of the material is good.
