Red day on the calendar. Thank you Japan, for the Independence and the day off.

Our scooter gang is getting bigger (welcome to the club, Niki!), so what better way to celebrate the independence (in two senses) than with a field trip scoot on over to Taejongdae.

Multi-sediment layered rocky cliffs, baby tadpoles in the tide pools, hundreds of stairs and an iced green tea milkshake later, we were back on the scooters drying our previously sweaty backs in the breeze.

Today was a good day.
