South Korea journey continues… Exploring Jeju Island

(Third Day) It was spring time when we visited Jeju Island, South Korea on April 2014. We came from the Gimpo Airport in Seoul and landed to Jeju Airport in Jejusi. We stayed at Vision guesthouse which is a very cozy place to leave in.

Our first agenda is to visit the Southern part of Jeju. We visited Mt. Hallasan, Jungmun Beach, Mysterious Road, Oedolgae Rock, Jeongbang falls, Saeseom Island Saeyeongyo Bridge, Jusangjeolli Cliff and of course my favorite place Teddy Bear Museum where some of the scenes in Princess Hours was shot. Sue, our tour guide/driver/manager/owner/maintenance/cook of the guesthouse is a superwoman. She is so welcoming and took us to the best restaurants in Jeju so we could taste authentic Korean’s cuisine.  Every meal we had is truly “simot-sarap”. The meal cost us 500 to 800 PHP per head but it’s worth the price my dear. She accompanied us to the Jeju's traditional markets Dongmun market for our delectable dinner and some window shopping.

(Fourth Day) The Next day, we ate our breakfast and explore the Western part of Jeju. We went to the West coast line, Hallim Park, Buddhist Temple visit with the Big Buddha, we had an orange picking session, head to the Health and Sex Museum and of course Love land.  It was a day of admiring the trees, fruits and flowers Korea has to offer. A religious and nature escapade in deed with some naughty side trips that will make our green minds loiter. My most awaited activity of the day is eating. During our lunch we ate at a seafood restaurant and the main dish is the “Abalone” which we ate dipped in vinegar. The cost of our meal is 500 to 800 PHP per head.  At night, we ate street foods which can be found near our guesthouse.

(Fifth Day) The Following day, after our breakfast, we wander through the Eastern part of Jeju. We climbed the Seongsan Ilchulbong Peak, went inside the Manjanggul Cave, visited Seopjikoji, and enjoyed the Miniature Park. It was a day of adventure and fun. We had to literally climb a thousand of stairs to reach the peak which is truly worth it because of its awesome view and feeling of accomplishment. I will never fail to commend our delicious meal from lunch to dinner. We tried the Black Pork for our lunch which is one of the delicacies in Jeju.

(Sixth Day) The Final day, we had to go back to Seoul in the morning after we ate our breakfast. We were very much accommodated by EastStarJet on our round trip flight from Jeju to Seoul, and vice versa. The ticket price cost PHP 5,400- PHP 6,000 round trip.
