We had a sleep in and at 11am went to the Lotte food Court for some breakfast.

ROAMAS reached Gamcheon Culture Village (formed by houses built in staircase-fashion on the foothills of a coastal mountain, earning this village the nickname of "Machu Picchu of Busan." The many alleys cutting through this community are vibrantly decorated with murals and sculptures created by the residents) by the metro (line 1) getting off at Toseong Station, and followed the signs by walking up the road to Gamcheon Culture Village. From there we walked up a very steep road like the streets of San Francisco (about 200m) and walked towards the pedestrian bridge. After the bridge is where all the activity is and the start of the trail. At the Tourist information Centre we bought a trail map for 2000KRW.
We had a great day out @ Gamcheon. Loads of interesting places to see, photograph and visit. The further along the trail we went, the less crowded it got. The trail gives you a great insight into the life of people who live in Gamcheon as you pass through narrow laneways. At the end are some great local eateries.

Next we got 2 taxis to Gukje Market. As we got split up, it was initially hard to find each other and thank goodness for Life 360 which directed us together again. We then roamed the market alleys which had great stalls selling everything from live seafood, to clothing to kitchen ware to fruit and vegetables.

Dinner was next on the agenda and we found a great little eatery to have a hot pot meal. So delicious and it hit the spot in the cold weather.

We caught the metro home in preparation for New Years Eve celebrations later in the night.

At 10.30pm, we set out for Gwangalli Beach where we were told the best NYE celebrations in town would be. There were lots of people on the beach, but it was not crowded.

Approaching midnight, the countdown was on … 5,4,3,2,1 and nothing happened!! What a fizzer !!! People were setting off their own fireworks so we also bought some and did the same. Happy New Year 2019!!!

We sauntered back to Seomyeon very tired, after picking up some food from a grocery store.
