Via Singapore to Hongseong

We stayed over in Singapore for two days. This gave us time to do a bit of sight seeing e.g. go on the Singapore Flyer. It is the largest and highest "big wheel" in the world, with a view over the city.

Back to Hongseong was O K, until we missed the first bus to Cheonan. This meant that we also missed the last bus from Cheonan to Hongseong. We had to drag our many heavy bags up and down stairs and into a taxi to do the last part of the trip by train. Many Koreans were friendly enough to help us drag the load. We arrived back at our apartment at 11pm. The geyser malfunctioned and we did not have heat for the first two days, but we could have it replaced after that. The temperatures in Hongseong were still below freezing.

We had snow the first week we were back, but now Spring has come. Slowly we see higher temperatures e.g. 9 degrees C, but the mornings are still 0 degrees C. We don't mind, because we remember the very hot weather in Summer.
