    Videre til Jeju Island

    March 13 in South Korea ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C

    Torsdag fløj vi en lille time fra Busan til øen Jeju, som er et yndet feriemål i Korea. Øen er ca. 4 gange større end Bornholm og naturen skulle minde om Hawaii, så vi er spændt på, hvad vi har i vente her.

    I dag tog vi det langsomt, så der er ikke så mange store oplevelser at fortælle om. Men så kan vi jo fortælle om convenience store-kulturen hernede, som ungerne er store fan af. Særligt Nice to CU er en favorit, for her kan man få Josefines favorit-onigiri, alverdens nudler, hvis man er på jagt efter et nemt måltid - og i dag testede vi så en DYI vanilje-latte, hvor man køber en kop med is og tilsætter sin udvalgte drik 👌🏼

    Sørme om ikke vi også rendte ind i en burger-restaurant med Capybara tema, endnu en K-pop store OG den Capy-rygsæk, som Oliver har drømt om i måneder - stor lykke!

    Vi sluttede dagen af med en gang bingo (eller banko? Kan aldrig huske 🫣) på vores værelse på 12. etage med udsigt til havet.

    Byen her er endnu én, hvor alting lyser, bimler og bamler, så i morgen vil vi prøve at finde lidt af den natur, som vi ved er derude 😉    Read more

    Jeju stone park

    September 28, 2024 in South Korea ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C

    Ce matin nous sommes allés à Jeju stone park pour voir des "cailloux" !! 😜
    La balade dans la forêt était très agréable.
    Mélanie a particulièrement apprécié la baignade improvisée en botte en caoutchouc.
    Nous avons fait la rencontre de beaux coréens mais ils sont restés de marbre face à notre beauté !! 🤣    Read more

    Premier repas à Jeju

    September 27, 2024 in South Korea ⋅ 🌙 23 °C

    Petit aperçu de notre bolide pour les prochains jours et de notre chambre d'hôtel.
    Ce soir on mange rapidement et on va se coucher. Donc on est allé à pied dans le quartier. Il y avait une grande majorité de barbecue coréen mais on n'avait pas le courage ce soir pour ça. Donc on a fini chez un papi où nous étions les seules clientes. La carte était compliquée à traduire et assez mal comprise par le traducteur papago finalement Google semble mieux traduire. Finalement le monsieur nous montre deux photos au mur des deux spécialités du restaurant. L'une a l'air épicée, et l'autre pas du tout, du coup on décide de prendre les deux comme Mélanie n'aime pas trop les épices fortes. Et on prend le supplément bulgogi du porc un peu sucré salé.
    Contre toute attente on se régale avec deux plats de nouilles glacées. Le papi est au petit soin il vient même nous mélanger nos nouilles et nous expliquer comment les manger. Et nous offre même un petit bavoir jetable pour ne pas qu'on se tâche.
    Nous avons le droit a des banchan (plats d'accompagnement) du Kimchi de radis qui est délicieux et un "truc" gélatineux non identifié mais méga piquant !!!
    Bref bonne surprise ce restaurant !

    Jeju West

    September 24, 2024 in South Korea ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C

    Did a planned Tour booked through the Hostel on the last Day in Jeju. We got to see amazing cliffs, waterfalls temples and tea fields and tried very good local food. The Tour and the other people were very diverse and interesting. After the tour we went in the small hill to see the sunset and the nightly skyline where you could watch the busy Jeju airport. On my way back to the Hostel I snapped my ancle cause someone put a lot of holes in the pavement ?! and I fell. (outcome see pictures)Read more

    Day 40 Jeju Island

    August 1, 2023 in South Korea ⋅ ☀️ 32 °C

    Today we explored the 'insta' worthy coastal cafes of Jeju. Then headed inland to OSulloc Tea 'museum' which was also a cafe. Walked down to the coast for a beautiful sunset then Dom and Mike went on an intrepid voyage for dinner which took over 2 hours and ended in McDonalds eaten with Soju and Coke...Read more

    Walking up Jeju volcano

    November 15, 2019 in South Korea ⋅ 🌙 13 °C

    Up and out quickly to get to the foot of the volcano in the centre of Jeju. There are about 5 different routes to the top, but only 2 which go to the crater. We chose the most common route to the crater.
    We arrived at 9.15 to be told we had to be at a checkpoint by 12pm otherwise we would not be allowed to the top. The checkpoint was 3 hours away, so we got our quick march on.
    Made it with 30 mins to spare, so cruised to the top.
    Last 100m were pretty tiring, but apart from that a very nice walk.
    Lots of people up at the top including lots of the Korean army out for some training. After a snickers enjoying the view we started the walk down. Great views out over the island and interesting scenery as we descended 1000 vertical meters. Total time was 6.5 hours and about 13 miles.
    With tired feet we went to the harbour for sunset and a short drone flight.
    Back to the room for some pot noodles and a cider. I think probably the first day we actually came in under budget in the whole holiday so far.
    Early start tomorrow for a flight to Taiwan to meet up with the family.    Read more

    Exploring Jeju. South and West.

    November 14, 2019 in South Korea ⋅ ⛅ 12 °C

    Today we explored the south and west of Jeju. Started out with a nearby waterfall.
    Then a bit further along the coast found these hexagonal stone structures which had been formed by cooling lava. Pretty cool.
    Followed by a walk along a river and a few more waterfalls.
    Taking the advice of TripAdvisor we went to the number 1 thing to do in Jeju - a sacred garden. Started by 1 man in the 60s (now a team of 25). A peaceful place with lots of Bonzi trees.
    The man Mr Bum Young-Sun is obviously quite an astute business man. A random person asked if we would write in the visitor book. Whist we were doing that she offered us some orange tea (which was very nice). She asked if we would like the meet the main man. He came round and very kindly gave us a free book about his garden, only asking that we provide a trip advisor review. A good way to help yourself to the top of trip advisor. Still, good garden though.

    With the light fading and it getting freezing, we went for an indoor activity. Can you guess who chose this one...? An art museum with perspective art which you could pose in front of.
    Got quite a few photos of me, one or two of Hannah.
    Back home for another Marvel film, which the hotel seemed to be playing on loop.    Read more

    Exploring Jeju. North and East.

    November 13, 2019 in South Korea ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C

    Got up and started to check the bus times for getting to the attractions. Seems like they are not very regular! Going to be a mission to get anywhere. Probably should have checked that before leaving the airport and all the hire cars! Dowh. There were a few things we fancied seeing near the airport anyway, so bussed back to get a car.
    Not a relaxing place to drive at all. They have weird junctions where is seems to be the rule of the person being the boldest and most reckless has priority, with plenty of honking of horns. Running red lights seems to be common and if they had roundabout rules, I couldn't figure them out.
    Still, we made it to a maze attraction without incident, which was naturally a'maze'ing 😝. Took us a solid 20 mins to get round.
    Next to a lava tube cave. Literally looked like a scene out of Aliens. Luckily not a Xenomorph in sight. Up to 7m high and a long underground tube. We walked about 2km in total.
    From there we walked round an ancient forest.
    Stopped on the north coast for coffee and cake. Cake was actually bread with plastic burger cheese twisted inside. Yummy.

    It was starting to get late, so we drove east till we hit the coast, and worked our way south watching the sunset.
    Experienced more of driving fun with a digger driving straight onto a roundabout forcing the car before it to stop very quickly.    Read more

    Brève exploration de Jeju island

    October 23, 2019 in South Korea ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C

    Les trois petits jours qu'il nous reste sur Jeju (qui fait environ 250 km de circonférence) sont un peu justes pour en faire tout le tour.
    Nous partons vers l'est, pour visiter des formations typiques de cette île volcanique : immense grotte de lave (on se sent comme dans les caves de la Moria - pour les geeks à qui ca parle) puis cratère géant, au pied duquel nous campons. Nous bifurquons ensuite à l'intérieur des terres pour l'ascension du Mont Hallasan. Nous pourrons dire que nous sommes montés sur le toit de la Corée, à 1950 m, mais de là-haut nous n'avons rien vu (jour blanc) ! En revanche au pied de la montagne, je tombe sur... une ancienne "collègue" de la SNCF. Pas banal.

    L'île de Jeju est un drôle d'endroit à plus d'un titre. Au-delà de ses trésors volcaniques, c'est le seul endroit au climat tropical en Corée et elle concentre des productions particulières : des clémentines, du thé. Les traditions ne sont pas en reste : femmes plongeuses (sans matériel !) pour ramasser coquillages et fruits de mer, constructions en pierre volcanique, manière rigolote de signifier avec un jeu de pierres et de barrières si l'on est chez soi ou absent (on est loin de la méfiance des grandes villes...).
    Jeju est une destination prisée pour les lunes de miel et les voyages en famille. Et sans doute parce que les Coréens aiment se distraire, ils y ont installé des musées et sites ludiques improbables. Nous aurions ainsi pu visiter le musée "Hello Kitty", celui du chocolat, des illusions optiques ou encore de la mythologie gréco-romaine (?) ou bien nous perdre dans de nombreux labyrinthes. Nous nous sommes contentés des sites naturels et des clémentines !

    Pour David et moi, Jeju signe aussi la fin de la route partagée : il retourne en ferry à Yeosu pour pédaler encore le long de la côte sud, tandis que je prends le ferry directement pour Busan. Je dois en effet être à l'heure au rendez-vous des copines à Osaka !    Read more
