Korea 2024 - Busan Ananti Coastal Walk

 

After our lovely lunch, our next itinerary was to visit a French inspired resort called Ananti. It was a short walk away from the lunch place, so we took a slow walk there. The spring weather was cooling enough for a nice walk. The photo above is the section of Ananti just opposite the restaurant, but the one we were headed was near the coast.

After following the road sign and walking for around ten minutes or so, we can view the coast and headed towards it. I love sceneries like this. Anything but concrete building is good for me! Above is a small village area before Ananti. Ananti is actually on the left side, and if we had time, we could actually take a walk all the way to the right side where a cool temple was spotted. But at least, we only have maybe 2 hours here.

At the start of the coastal area of Ananti. I kinda walked ahead of the rest of the group. I've done some research of the place, and my target was to go for the coastal walk. I didn't know if I will have enough time to complete the walk, hence my fast pace to reach the place! I told my husband I would go on ahead first to while the rest explore the cafe area. I wasn't that interested in shops and coffee when I have the whole coast to run in!

Above was the path, with some resort building to  my left, and the ocean to my right. The path looked long! I didn't reach the end point. I walked until the resort building started to trickle off before I made a u-turn and headed back to the main resort area. I love walking in the outdoors on my own. It just felt so free. I wasn't too bothered that I was alone on my walk, although I did wish my husband would accompany on this lovely walk.

I saw some cranes again on the rock in the ocean and can't help myself from taking some photographs. It's just such a relaxing scene for me. To be that calm in the middle of the waves and rocks. 

There were some wild flowers growing along the path too, which made me really happy. It was like a scene from a childhood story book, specifically Enid Blyton's kind of story by the sea. Love the combination of wild flowers, rocks and sea.

Here is another view of the flowers. You could see a light house far off in front. Sadly, I didn't have time to walk all the way there. If I have a whole day, for sure I would explore the whole coast!

On my walk, I encountered a few fluffy wild cats. They didn't look too bothered with me being there. I think I was more afraid of them than they were of me. They were quite huge, but so fluffy and cute!

Here is a black one with a brown nose, lol. I followed the black cat for some distance before it went into the grass. 

I am more of a cat person, although recently I've been kinda drawn to cute dogs too. I used to b afraid of dogs as I once stepped on a dog's tail before when I was a child. I've also been chased by dogs while cycling and fell down. As well as being annoyed by dogs that kept banging on my legs, or bitting my pants. Usually it's the local breed dogs that is the cause of all my trauma. 

Here's a selfie of me on my solo walk. 

On my way back, I found my husband at the beach nearer to the main hotel, so we managed to take one wefie together after all! Yay!
