Guest Blogger - The Day of the Monsoon

Busan experienced a record rainfall today. The most rain in twenty seven years fell on the city and we were out in it.

The day started well. We taxied to Harley-Davidson of Busan for my only Harley shirt of the trip. Really. I have too many as it is. 

From there to the Yonggungsa Temple which is also known as the Water Temple. There was a light rain at this point but it was manageable.

The Water Temple involved a lot of steps but the trek was worth it as the following pictures should indicate.

After that it was on to Haeundae and The Wolfhound, an Irish pub. This, too, is one of Meagan's regular haunts and a part of the ex-patriate experience. The fish and chips were outstanding.

Typhoon? Monsoon? Who knows? It was torrential rain and lightning - which is a rarity in Korea.  We bagged all plans and went back to the hotel for dry clothes and the Lotte Shopping Experience.

Western dinner from Pizza Hut and then Meagan was off to celebrate Halloween with her friends, have a couple of drinks, and spend the night in Bernie's room so that she could experience the full hotel breakfast at Lotte Seomyeon. 

At least that was the plan.
