I rode my bike nearly to Naksan Temple, which isn't a long trip. On the other hand, my legs are sore this evening, but not aching; the ride might have been the perfect length.
I started by riding to a Naksan Temple on fire!
Closer, we can see a few trees are growing on the hillside.
On the south side of the temple, on Highway 7, at Seorak Beach, is Somdari Chocolate.
I stopped in and the chocolatier gave me a glass of water without my asking. After looking around, I ordered an ice chocolate drink for 5,000 won.

It was fantastic! Strong and rich and sweet enough that I had to ask for another glass of water once I had finished it. Like Travolta in Reservior Fiction (or whatever the movie was called), I have trouble paying five thousand won for a chocolate drink, but this may well have been worth it.
They make chocolates onsite and they all looked good, although the box titled, "Seafood chocolate" gave me pause. I don't think they were serving Korea's version of Monty Python's chocolate Frog (it has a frog, lightly killed, in it), but rather some interesting translation work.

Read this before you try the clam chowder :)
I keep thinking I need to make a big batch of chowder and have some people over.
Thanks.
I did read it when she wrote it, but should have paid more attention. That was a close one!
I might go there and try the chocolate. Thanks for the information.
Your last few posts have been very positive. Good reading.
The chocolate was fantastic. ZoVar is right, though; the Bliss' didn't enjoy the chowder.
I just looked back over my post. I now see what made you so interested in the place: my Monty python reference.
