Arrival on the Island of Sea Women (book title!). This is an interesting island, probably most populated by tourists in the summer but unique, and I’m glad we took a few days to check it out before Seoul. Our corner suite in the Grand Hyatt is deluxe!! The buffet breakfast and lounge dinners are quite nice too.

Rock formations (Olin’s in front, Christian’s in back) at Hyeopjae Beach on the NW side of island. Driving here is verrrry slow. Lots of 30km/hour school zones, traffic lights, and speed cameras. |

We went to this place called Hallim Park to go in to the Hyeopjae lava tubes and were surprised to find a very enjoyable bansai area (the oldest was 300 years old!) and bird park |

Jeju island is known for its oranges/tangerines, women divers (haenyeo), and black pork. We didn’t try black pork. Haha. Never got around to it! |
