6:00 pm. Legs and feet are tired, so we've headed for the old fortress of Geumjeong, now a shrine, on the subway. It's about 20 stops away, so it takes about 40 minutes. At the exit we have a taxi take us to the bhuddist shrine where we find them performing their evening rituals. We hike up the mountain for a few minutes, but it will be dark soon, and there's not enough time to make more than 1 km along the 2 km path to the peak. As twilight deepens, we hurry down the granite boulders, as we've been told that the last bus leaves at 8 pm. When we get back to the temple many of the paper lanterns are lit. Another temple complex looks off the ridge to our north with more lanterns.
While waiting for the bus a taxi arrives, which we quickly catch for the base fare (2200 won).
8:00 pm. Subway back to the hotel. Quite a few stops.
