Jeju Part 2

During our time in Jeju, we stayed at this inn called Breakfast at Tiffany's. The owner, Mr Chung, was very kind to help us plan what to do after finding out what we generally like to see and how much time we had in Jeju. 

For a start, he recommended this viewing point, 1km up Hallasan. As we drove higher, the scenery started to change and trees turned from green to white. It was beautiful, cold, but just what we liked. 

Once we reached the viewing point, we took a stroll on the boardwalk. Frozen streams, swamps, and trees branches were layered in snow - presenting a brilliant snowball-throwing opportunity for the bf where I was the unfortunate victim.

This was taken just after he threw one at me. It probably hit me while I was taking this shot. -.-

After Hallasan, we went to the Jeju stone park. I found out that we had to pay and we didn't want to so we walked to the carpark, climbed up a small wall and took this shot. This was only a small part of the stone park but this also affirmed our decision to not pay to go in.

According to the description, each of these stone structures represents past generals in the army. Not sure why there were so many of them though. Go google.

After the stone park, we made a visit to the Dongamburi crater. I think Iceland's volcanoes fascinated us (since we had 2 just behind school) so we wanted to see how a volcano in Korea would look like. (Sorry no volcano pic, the crater looked like a forest)

Since we already jammed packed our day with site visits, we decided to go for one more - the Seongsan sunrise hill.

It was a really nice peak to visit, especially since we climbed up when the sun was about to set. 

My handsome boy and me! ^^

What a view!

The next day, we decided to have seafood soup! This soup was sold everywhere in Jeju and this particular restaurant was generous with their abalones, clams and crabs too - that's half a small crab in the soup. I think this only cost us $15. How awesome!

Next, we visited the Teddy Bear Museum, the very place we failed to visit on our first day in Jeju.

Einstein and Sam

Steve Jobs and I

Bf was hungry so he bought some dried tangerine snacks to try.

Then we visited this place called the Jusangjeolli cliff. I was fascinated by the geography of the rocks with columnar joints. Just thought it was pretty cool to have natural rock formations that could form cool shapes repeatedly - tessellations! (Ok I shall stop the lecture here)

Of course, we also visited one of the waterfalls - can't remember if it was Cheonjeyeon or Cheonjiyeon, both sounded the same. It was too dark and there were no visitors left so we didn't spend a lot of time there. 

During our stay in Jeju, we got to experience teenie weenie drops of snow at our bnb resort and heard a woodpecker at his job on our last day too! The owner of our bnb brought in superb orange juice and even made their own jam. We just had to buy some back! All in all, we really enjoyed our stay in Jeju! Will share the last leg of our Korea trip soon! 

Xoxo.
