Today is the day that we are going to leave South Korea
We will go Japan by Ferry from Busan Port
South Korea, Busan
Music (we were just kids when we fell in love)
Music (Not knowing what it was)
Music (I will not give you up)
We are preparing our bicycles
Our bicycles
luggages
We will pack everything on bicycles
And then we will cycle to the Busan Ferry Port
Let me show you our hostel
Silk Road Hostel
I mean, it's not like we stayed in a hostel
The hostel owner is an warmshower host
Thats why he let us stay in his hostel for free
we are thankful that he feeded and housed us.
Our hero is Kim whose name is the most common name in the South Korea!
Kim's hostel
the hostel is also very clean, nice and neat
it is not expensive either
The hostel is 5 minutes away from the historic bridge "Yeongdodaegyo"
If you come to Busan, South Korea
I strongly recommend you to stay in Silk Road hostel.
We are ready now
Let me show you my bicycle
here I have gas cooker and the food
There is not much
We have reduced our luggages
Let me show you the other bike
we are carrying clothes and other stuff
We will leave very soon
Music ( and here I come )
We are just arrived to the Busan Port
This is the port
Busan International Ferry Terminal
I will enter and
I will ask how we will handle the bikes bacuse I have no idea at all.
Yesterday they were saying that it is enough to say we have bicycles.
we will see
how is the real procedure to get on with bicycles
I'm wondering if we're going through the heavy vehicles' entrance
we will learn
really soon
Music ( nothing lasts )
Now we are going to Camellia
New Camellia
I will ask how is the procedure
I will also ask the check-in counters
They told me to bring the bicycles upstairs
We will bring the bikes upstairs
Let's see how our experience will be here at the ferry terminal which is more like an airport
Let me show you around
unbelievable, but we're bringing here our bikes.
Music (nothing lasts)
I am feeling really awkward
I' m not sure how it will become
I am also curious as you do
soon
Well, we've enter just like that and no one said anything
we are heading upstairs
We will wait for 1 hour
You should come to the ticket encounter for check-in, too.
We come to the New Camellia Ticketing encounter
Calculating...
We pay extra 9900won for tax and 10000won for bicycle, each
We bought these tickets 90000won for 2 people
It costs 130000won total for 2 people after adding 40000won more for taxes and bicycles.
Even a ferry ticket costs a lot
Flying costs are also similar
But, It is easier to carry bicycle with ferry
That's why we choose to go by ferry
Now they will give us our printed ticket
After that we will go to the boarding gate
I think, we will pass with our bikes through the gate
They didn't ask extra money for our luggages. Hope they won't
By the way, I saw other cyclists too
They also have similar luggages
Hope we will pass without problem
I just got my ticket
I haven't had anything like a ticket till now
they sent you an email in Japanese when you purchase the ticket
Which is very annoying and confusing
They give you a ticket while check-in.
Papers to fill in before entering Japan
We will wait till 7pm
Check-in starts at 4pm but we came early just in case.
I also need to get tax refund for drone
Lets go refund office to check
After check-in, you can go tax refund office and get your payment order by showing your RECEIPT and the PRODUCT
Now I am at Busan - Hakat Ferry
I will show you the ferry
It wasn't possible to record while boarding
We had to unpack and repack our luggages
Thats why I'm showing you now
what is inside the ferry
I want you to see, too
Officers locked our bicycles like this
They didn't say any restriction for the bicycles
They show us these places us to lock our bikes
During check-in we had asked to unpack our luggages on bikes
Thats why you should have panniers
We need to have more panniers
But we didn't buy it because we won't cycle too much
unpacking and repacking was so time consuming and hard, it wasn't a good experience without panniers
In the end we've locked the bikes here like this
our lovely bikes
I will show you inside the Ferry but first I have to get some food
Because meals are not included to the ferry ticket prices
We will eat our food
It is so deserted so I felt we are in harror movie set.
The movie I recall is "the triangle(2009)"
now
we are still
on the pier
We get on the ferry through this thing
