Summer in Jeju island

So, finally we went to Jeju island last summer 2016. This is my husband first visit to Jeju island since we live in Korea (2+4 years), for me is the second one (the first time you can check here) Tanya was really excited to go, because she already heard alot about this island from everyone. It was late July to early August and the weather was too hot. Booked a pension in Seogwipo area, rent a car, we spent 4 days there. Got a visit to Jeongbang waterfall, Mangjanggul cave, Woljeongri beach, Udo island, Camelia hill, Jeju Art Museum is Alive, and Ihotaeu beach. We didn’t really enjoyed the weather but happy to spend times at the beaches, views, and the food also.

Here are some pictures from the trip straight from my phone.

From Jeju 2015

Spring 2015, was the first time I visited Jeju island. This island is a Hawaii or Bali version of Korea, that’s what they say. I never really into coming to this island, but got a chance to go there because of a business trip.

Booked a place from Airbnb, I didn’t expect the place would be really nice with view of sea from the front, and a mountain from behind. The place name is Doldam Guesthouse, it is very recommended place to stay in Jeju. This place also serves home made hallabong (한라봉, a kind of orange primarily grown in Jeju) jam for breakfast.

I traveled around Jeju with a friend renting a car. This island is more convenient if we could drive along with a car. We visited some beaches, cafes, and market. The beaches are green-blue-ish color, which is very beautiful when the sun kiss down. As a tourism place, this island is quite nice. A break from Seoul sky scrapers to Jeju is another way to refresh. I feel everything moves slower in this place.

More pictures about my second trip to Jeju is here. I will post more pictures in another blog soon (I wish).
