Sunny day at 송악산

I think I could have had spent a month alone on this island, there were so many places to see.

This was one of our first stops, I had seen pics online and told my darling to take me there. And so he did, gladly!

We were lucky with the weather, it was sunny most of the time.

And we walked a lot ^^

I loved this place, we took a lot of beautiful photos!

It sorta felt like a honeymoon vacation but it wasn't. I start to understand why newlyweds in Korea go here. ^^

morning at 월정리해변

Our final morning in Jeju my darling took me here to Weoljeongnihaebyeon.

A beautiful beach! We were not so lucky with the weather but we had each other so it didn't matter.

I really want to go back here on a sunny day ^^

We also stopped for coffee, this place was in our guide book so that's why we chose this place.

In this area there are lots of cafes these days.

To me I just wanted a good view, however most had it so we chose this based on the review in the book.

Halla san Hiking

In Jeju island we went hiking up and down for the national treasure Halla Mountain or Halla San as they refer it to in Korea.

It took around 7h up and down, my feet felt like dying when walking down!

But we made it.

Although I enjoyed doing this with my darling, my legs were dead for the next 5 days! so sore muscles..haha I'm not sure I want to do it again.

The must eat item when climbing up Halla San ^^

The never ending road...

쉼표

The first thing we did after picking up our rental car in Jeju, we looked for a cafe.

Before going to Jeju we had bought a travel book. This cafe turned up.

The view looked amazing so we hurried over. When we arrived the rain had stopped but it was still dark outside. I think if it had been sunshine it would have had been PERFECT.

Anyway it was a good first stop on our trip.

The cafe is called Swimpyo and means comma (,).

I can recommend this place!!The cafe has 2 floors and view is great from both!

Black pig bbq @ 소낭밭가든

One of the specialty foods in Jeju island is black pig. And the best way to enjoy it is of course bbq.

We went to this place - 소낭밭 가든 (Sonangbat Garden). It's rather famous and it was also very close to our hotel, maybe 10 min drive. Anyway this was my treat to my darling for being the best man on the planet ^^

We had a big feast! also side dishes are free, I ate greens like a rabbit!

If you are in Jeju island and Seogwipo, try this place! This BBQ is awesome!

Steamed egg! Almost like scrambled eggs ^^

Noodles at 옥돔식당

For our first meal in Jeju we stopped for this - Bomal Guksu.

The place is called Okdom Shikdang (옥돔 식당).

Bomal is omphalius rusticus rusticus, which is a species of sea snail. To me at first I said, don't tell me what it really is, I'm gonna eat and see what I think. The place was super popular, in the middle of nowhere to me, but the line just continued to grow.

We waited a long time to get the food, but it was worth the wait. Despite of colour and content it was nice. I recommed this place in Jeju Island, but come early, it gets crowded during lunch time.

Side dishes - kimchi, mung beans and broccoli
