DMZ Visit

 Smaller bridge to The Bridge of No Return





 The Peace Bell
 The food choice at the village before the DMZ....haha


 After walking through the 3rd tunnel dug by the North Koreans to attack Seoul. It was found in 1978. It was only 44 km. from Seoul and 30,000 troops could get through in one hour.

 At the Dorisan Observatory. We could see North Korea from the top and look through binoculars. There was a "photo line" so it was difficult to get pictures.  They are afraid of photos getting leaked on the internet and into the wrong hands.


 The train station at Dorsan. This was running up to two years ago, but now it just sits here. There is a train that run weekly bringing in South Korean workers to a  North Korean factory to manufacture goods. The goods are then brought back to South Korea.





 Uh oh...here comes the train. It is coming from South Korea, heading to North Korea.
