Day 11 - Busan and Haeundae Beach

Saturday, November 29th, 2025

This morning we flew from Jeju Island to Busan, a forty minute flight on Korean Airlines.

Busan is the second largest city in South Korea, and flying in this morning we were met with this vista of skyscrapers and tall apartments surrounded by mountains on the beautiful water.






We caught a limousine bus from the airport to near our apartment where we saw rows of apartments like this:


After we dropped off our bags we went exploring . . .

Our apartment for the next three nights is on the 36th floor, and this is the view to the left.  The mountain ahead of us is covered in trees of differing autumn colours.


This is our view to the right:



Tonight we went for a walk to nearby Haeundae Beach where there were light shows on display, many celebrating Christmas.






Dinner at the local markets . . .


On the way back to our apartment we passed a BMW dealership where this "Art Car" by artist Jeff Koons is on display.  I visited a BMW Art Car exhibition in Sydney around 30 years ago and have a poster of many BMW Art Cars on my office wall at work, so it was an unexpected joy to see the latest edition here in Busan!



We walked 15,084 steps today and my knee is surviving just fine.
