Joined a day tour group today to go around the Eastern side of Jeju Island (it's 2.7x Singapore). There was a Singaporean couple, as well as a girl working in Singapore. Had not been on a 'planned' tour for a long time, the experience was, ummm, adaptive.
Itinerary from Yeha Tour: East course:
1. Sangumburi - The only crater in Jeju located at ground level
2. Seong-eup Folk Village - Currently, more than one thousand and three hundred people live in the village and continue in old Jeju custom and tradition.
3. Seopjikoji - The best view in the Eastern area and the location of the popular
TV series 'All in'
4. Seongsan Ilchulbong(Sunrise Peak) - "A symbol of Jeju". It was registered as a World
Natural Heritage Site by UNESCO. (Enough time for trekking to the top is given.)
5. Manjanggul - The longest lava cave in the world. Registered as a World Natural Heritage Site
6. Mysterious Road - Cars without power appear to go uphill by themselves
Tour was well organized and on time. The manager who followed us spoke 3 languages rather fluently - Korean, Japanese & English. The group was a random mix of tourists from everywhere.
I enjoyed 1, 3-5 most, because they were natural heritage sites & allowed us to do some walking along scenic routes. Returned to the hotel & went for a seafood dinner buffet with CP. Lovely place by the Jungman yacht marina. Overdose on black pork & seafood. Think of all that calories & cholesterol! Oh dear...
Heading out to Seoul tomorrow. I just learnt that Korean Ironman is held annually in Jeju Island! Ahh.... could definitely consider coming to race! :)
