Cold Beach and Hot Springs

We then walked in the direction of the old harbor and the hotel. It got weird and industrial until we found emart. We then saw a sign for the beach and I couldn't resist and got my shoes drenched. I made a video but it is sideways. I'll try to fix it.

Then we just walked to the harbor for a meal. I wanted Sundae a sausage made of seafood and spices. I didn't see it. We eventually just had a seat. It was kinda awesome, The floor was lifted and the ground was just the cement from the harbor. She motioned for us to pick a fish she pointed at one and said 5. We thought 5,000 w ($5) We though okay great deal. First we received the appetizer. It was squid and octopus freshly killed. Which means the tentacles were still squirming. If the suckers were on your tongue it would kinda grab on.



Then we received the sashimi worthy pieces with lettuce. Then we got our own burner with soup and the remains of the fish including head, tail and fins. Turns out when she said 5 she meant 50. Bummer.



Then we took an expensive cab to the hotel and checked in. It was fine but the pictures and the actual hotel did not co-relate. Also access to a hot spring doesn't mean a they have one in the back. It means you can walk down the street to the spa and get two dollars off. We eventually found the spa and we had to hot spring separately cause it was essentially just a bigger spa with a special mineral bath. Then we met up with some other people from Canada and one Russian, we saw them earlier and all bought bandannas with a map of the national park on it. We talked a bit and got shushed and went to bed.
