This is an island south of the Korean mainland, a tourist destination for Koreans and others. Our hosts hired rooms in a resort there, for three nights, so we could visit some of the parks and sights the island has to offer. We had a driver, a guide who showed us around and took us to various restaurants, Mr Teh. (We think the restaurateurs may have been his friends).
Our first stop on day one was a green tea plantation,
then to the coast to see the Jungmun columnar lava,
then Cheyonileon falls, night time by then.
A meal followed, seafood, I was allowed flat fish, quite good for me, since I'm not very good at shellfish and crustaceans.
Next day, it was raining quite a lot, but we persevered and with umbrellas went to a beautiful bonsai garden, called 'Spirited Garden', then to lunch, guess what, seafood!
In the afternoon we went to yet another garden, but this one was huge, with gardens of all types, sub tropical, tropical, bonsai and rock,
and the cave garden, to mention some.
Next day we visited a world heritage area, Seongsan Ilchulbong, which is a tombola rising out of the ocean on the east side of the island. Aka 'Sunrise Peak', it has its origins in the volcanic activity which created the island itself.
Mr Teh dropped us at the airport after that, quite a different holiday experience, and we flew back to Busan, to get ready for the final part of the trip, the wedding ceremony of Michael and Yohan.
