Really really delicious breakfast!
Today our hosts at Tao guesthouse acted as our guides to the island!
We got driven around and toured all day long!
We started the day with a stop at the beach.
This is one of Jeju's famous free diving "grandmas" who collect fresh seafood right out off the ocean floor!
We saw lots of them out in the ocean, really interesting!
Next, we went spelunking to see the worlds largest Lava Tube!
Caves are fun!
After deep caves we climbed to the top of a small mountain! Or, Oreum.
The mountain was crater like, maybe a really old volcano?
In it's center was a ring of cedar trees. How fantastical :D
It was a beautiful and calm hike all the way around the top of the Oreum, with beautiful views the whole way.
We passed by a traditional Korean village set up on the way to a photo gallery.
The gallery was a collection of photos of the different Oreum around Jeju. The artist is famous on the island though he passed away years ago. I'll have to remember his name and put it in here.
Jeju oranges! Delicious and sweet :)
The next stop was the "lonely rock" view point.
A famous Korean historical drama was filmed here, so there were lots of tourists :p
Great spot for a temple. Right at the base of this mountain overlooking the ocean.
Jeju's covered in amazing look out points.
We drove up to the highest point you can drive to on Jeju.
Of course there was a well maintained boardwalk to explore. Korea's great :)
Our next and final stop was LOVELAND. An extremely interesting spot. It's essentially an erotic sculpture park. I'll have to post the images all in a separate gallery for those who are interested to see! For the rest of you, I'll let your imagination fill in the gaps :p
Our hosts then took us out for special Jeju noodles at a famous spot in the city!
They were really REALLY tasty :D
What an awesome day, thanks to our hosts at Tao!
This island has so much to offer, but our stay here is sadly coming to an end.
Tomorrow we leave Jeju and return to Seoul!
