We had three more places to visit before finishing our holiday in Myanmar. The first was Mount Kyaiktiyo, where the famous Golden Rock is found. We took a long bus ride, then a rough lorry ride and finally we hiked up the steep hill for almost an hour. It was very warm, but we were […]

We travelled to a place called Seoraksan National Park which has some of the most beautiful mountains in all of Korea. When driving there we stopped at a place and I had a nice talk with a Korean frog whose eyes were large like mine! We arrived in Seoraksan and found a cute sign at […]
