• Jeju Island - Part II

    May 3, 2023 in South Korea ⋅ 🌧 17 °C

    Our mission to enjoy the beaches, do some easy hikes, visit some nice waterfalls, stroll along the rugged coast/cliffs was not completely successful. Rain started pouring down and didn’t stop for 3 days/nights. A huge bummer but we could find shelter: this small island of 1.800 km2 (only a bit bigger than the smalles province in NL) has only 100 (!!) museums and countless theme/amusement parks, from teddy bear museum to sex museums, from a modest Hello Kitty park to gigantic rollercoaster/aqua parks.

    Sipping Hello Kitty Matcha latte (say what?? ;-)), playing with 1000 kids at the popular Pororo penguin theme park, trying to make funny pics in the optical illusions Alive museum (challenged by the busloads of tourists behind us…).

    All in all, a great week of fun. Back to mainland Korea.
