Jeju-Do!

My parents went the long way round to Jeju - Subway to Sasang, bus to Gwangju, bus to Mokpo, taxi to the Ferry Port, Ferry and finally a taxi to the hotel!  I decided to use Daegu Airport - it's smaller but Jeju City is only an hour away.

The Jeju "Airport Limosine" bus to get to Seogwipo was a complete joke.  Took way longer than it needed to as it stopped at every single hotel en route.  Spent ages staring at huge tacky fake North African buildings.  


  
The weather was awesome - stayed at the Seogwipo Hiking Inn.  It wasn't glamorous but there was a bath (next care package I'm asking for bubble bath!) and an awesome roof terrace.  We could see some lights directly south of us one night from the roof terrace - Simon thinks it may have been Japan but it looks too far on the map.  I don't think theres oilrigs or anything out there so no idea.


Spent Tuesday taking in the town and the two "famous" waterfalls.  One claims to be the onliest waterfall in Asia to fall directly into (read:20 meters away from) the sea.  There was also a lovely big garden next to a museum.  We booked our submarine tour and then walked across this huge bridge to a little island.  There's a walkway going around the edge of it with lights.  It was great during the day and I imagine nice and romantic at night.


Good food was almost impossible to come by in Seogwipo - spent ages every night trying to hunt places down.  If travelling around I'd recommend Jeju City instead - better transport links and because it's a much bigger city more accommodation/food etc.
