English summary: You know how I said that it was great weather yesterday? Yeah well that was until about 11pm at night. Massive rain turned the river to chocolate whip. My tent got wet even under the pagoda roof. Left the pagoda late at 10:30am, and headed for Gyeonju City. That’s where I am now after getting really wet and deciding to find a place to stay. Nice Korean-style guest house. I’m a bit concerned with the pace at present, but that can’t be helped. No point in pushing it too hard now and not be able to continue later.

Hey Rob,
Wow man you actually left Beppu behind on your adventure! I just found your site thru Joel's blog page and have been reading about how you are progressing…What a fantastic journey to be on, I look forward to following your trip. The very best of luck and take care,
Murdo
Nice bike, nice trip, nice vids.
Really enjoyed the videos, thank you.
Take time to Enjoy.
Love all around,
rob
Lucky the river didn't come up much higher! Everyone's in awe of you Rob. And I'm pretty jealous, wish I could be with you on my own recumbant bicycle! Thanks for putting regular posts down. Loving watching your adventure unfold. The photos are great – keep them coming too if you can.
Rob,
Hang in there, man. Starting slow and bogged down will only make it that much sweeter when you finally break out! I just got a recumbent and love it. I'll be riding to work each day this coming school year (I'm a teacher) and hope to get in better shape than I am now (totally new muscles being used!). You've become a bit of a hero of mine!
By the way, how do you keep such a nice bike from getting ripped of when you sleep on the beach or stop at a cafe?
We're praying for your safety and travels.
Matt.

Go you good thing. Start off the way you mean to carry on – both with travel and updates. What would life be without a problem or two. What's He teaching you thru this unique lesson?
Matt, I carry a 2m long wire lock to deter thieves. However I am thinking of also getting a D-lock. I am of the opinion however that even though it is a very expensive bike, how would a Korean guy explain to his mates how he managed to get a German made recumbent bicycle when there are no recumbent stores within Korea (or at least very few). Kind of stands out. It is in itself a thief deterrant.
Uncle Peter, the biggest lesson I'm learning at present is that getting used to new ways of living takes time but it does happen. Packing my gear each morning is taking less time, I'm getting used to communicating without words, getting used to when I should be cycling and when I should be resting…
