Approaching Kumho resort, which is where we stayed last year. I must mention that the 7 hour trip back is only 300km or so, and the reason it takes so long is not because only 50km is tarred roads, or that monsoons flood the low lying roads, or because falling trees land all over the roads, or North Korean sniper helicopoters force traffic to crouch in the many tunnels en route. No, there are just TOO MANY CARS IN KOREA. Korea, are you listening: STOP MAKING CARS! You don't have enough land and a traffic jam that starts 200km from the city is just no fun. Build a subway, or a bicycle track or another train track but stop selling so many Sorrentos here. Our average speed back was around 45km/h, which is less than the Tour De France guys average on flat stages.
