    Jeju 1

    April 1 in South Korea ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C

    1. Arrived jeju early morning and immediately picked up car at Lotte. Kia morning, small and zippy with gps, not bad.
    2. Started off at Dongmun Market. So many foods and stalls. Bought hallabong (orange fruit), cilisos and ate some street food style like teobokki, tempura, fish cakes from mother & daughter stall. Quick eats and off to next place.
    3. Unfortunately, 2 next attractions closed - stone park and manjanggul cave.
    4. Went to nutmeg forest instead, walk around the trail as we had lots of time to spare. So many king cherry 🍒 blossoms lined up the street. Beautiful!!! Best time to visit jeju.
    5. Headed to seopjikoji coastal walk. Another relaxing and beautiful place with extraordinary scenery. Just annoyed with the number of people taking selfies 🤳 and posing everywhere.
    6. Checked in hotel on the east coast. And had good fish stew dinner, marinated 🦀 and variety banchan.

    Jeju 2

    April 2 in South Korea ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C

    1. Started the day with Seongsan Ichulbong peak, very near hotel (nice view from room). Long hike up the mountain ⛰️ or rather a volcanic remains. A volcano 🌋 underwater erupted and mixed with sea water created a crater or what looks like a giant bowl.
    2. Stop by at Flow Cafe "Peullo" for ☕️
    3. Cheonjeyeonpokpo Falls (The Pond of God) - seven nymphs are said to descend from the cloud bridge in the middle of the night, play on the ground for a while, and then ascend back to the sky. The three-tiered waterfall cascading through the dense forest is a breathtaking sight. The water forms a pond off the first waterfall, which flows into the sea via the second and third waterfalls. Seonimgyo Bridge had the seven nymphs carved on the side. Was drizzling the whole time but manageable with proper walkways and umbrella.
    4. Stopped for chinese food at nearby restaurant for jajangmyeon and pork!
    5. Oedolgae rock and jusangjeollidae cliff. Lots of rocks. Rain getting heavier.
    6. Seogwipo olle night market. Lots of people and food. Had some fried gimbap, seafood pancake and ended the day with hallabong tea. Also bought some souvenirs and socks.
    7. Beer and dried fish snacks at the convenience store in hotel.

    Jeju 3

    April 3 in South Korea ⋅ 🌧 17 °C

    1. Hwangguji rock pools - still drizzling. Short board walk to reach some small rock pools. Can swim 🏊‍♂️ in summer but not then.
    2. Started raining heavier. So we stepped into Sanbangsan carbonated Springs. Truly a new and liberating experience! Can't even explain the nudity we've in our entire lives. So many different age, shapes and sizes. 🙈
    3. Last visit to Ossulloc Green tea museum and innisfree museum. Enjoyed some treats before heading to airport 🛬
    4. Arrived at seoul, check in hotel and went straight to myeongdong night market.
