✈ Jejudo - Day 2

Continual post from day 1, we woke up at 9plus after a good sleep :)

We drove to Hallasan National Park and took on the Yeongsil Trail (i think?). It took us a total of 2 - 2.5 hours to climb all the way up up up! It's been so long since I last climbed a hill but I do really enjoy it!
all pictures during the trail taken with iphone4s :)
we were all ready and geared in sports attire, thankfully because it was all rocky!
Halfway thru the clouds! 
I happily wore tanktop thinking it might be hot but boy i was wrong!!! i was freeeeezing and shaking my ass on the way up. finally understand why are those hikers clad in pants and long sleeves.

the first thing we totally needed when we reached the top was a bowl of hot piping cup noodle!!! #shiok

The route down was faster and easier. We were all so tired from the hike while the poor drivers had to drive 45 minutes to an hour to our next venue while we took nap in the car haha

Was supposed to go for horse riding but our GPS couldn't locate the place :( Went to Mini mini land, a park featuring miniature versions of famous attractions around the world!
We also went thru mirror maze.. which I was sooooooooo bad at it!!! My friends came out in about 30 seconds to 1 minute but I got lost in there and took 4 minutes to come out!! -__________- #fail

And final destination was seafood dinner by the beach :)
love the beautiful skies and weather at Jeju!
Dinner was really mehhhhhhh. We had about 4-5 dishes all looking like the above. Totally meh.. lol

beautiful bridge :)

✈ Jejudo - Day 1

“One’s destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things.”

The day before we caught our 720am flight at Gimpo Airport to Jeju, we had a long fun day out at Carribean Bay and supper till 2am. Despite having only 1.5 hours of sleep, I really wondered how we managed to survive the rest of day. Lethargic and tired but here we go!

We arrived at Jeju about an hour later. Since it was a free&easy road tripping for the 10 of us, we rented 2 cars to bring us around the beautiful island for the next 3 days!

First turn out! It was a scary experience given left-hand driving. hahaha thankfully we had 2.... skillful chauffeurs who brought us around safely

It was a far ride (about an hour) to our little and awful inn (!!!). Settled down, washed up and went for lunch at a traditional Korean restaurant nearby
This was the best meal we had!! toooooo good. I'm never sick of Korean food, missing it now :(

Next stop to Teddy Bear Museum. It was actually smaller than I expected :/
love my $5 owl with neon pink spects top :D
my friends like me in curls idk why lol!!!


The rest went to Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Museum nearby but the 3 tired souls including me decided to go Starbucks for some coffee and power nap. Iced Americano ftw :D

We drove to the beach nearby and had a little walk.

Beautiful shot by Adrian. I should really learn how to fully utilize my camera.. This is the effect of capturing 15 seconds of light into our photo!

Dinner at a random restaurant near our inn. mehhhh

and visit to Cheonijiyeon Waterfall. The view wasn't as impressive as I thought it would be but we did had a good stroll there :)

We had such a long day I zonked out immediately after washing up! Had a tiff with the inn's owner too. Whoever has curfew overseas and at an inn? Grr

#TGIF, welcoming the weekends!!! ;)
