Second day broke in Jeju Island.
Our schedule was like that :
Visit O'sulloc tea museum - Ripley's Believe it or Not museum - Jungmun beach (Hikiking olle course 7) - Seosokkak Estuary
Check below for our trace. :-)
I slept very well because of walking up Seongsan Ilchulbong(Sunrise peak) yesterday.
Also, I got a muscle pain at a price. :-(
Anyway, we dressed up and got ready to go out for today.
After that we were at the cafe of the guest house which is a meeting place and had a breacfast. It was simple, just bread, strawberry jam, mandarin jam and black coffee. But the mandarin jam was really great!! It was made of Jeju mandarin from the guest house's farm.
Mandarin farm of Sheelddi house
You can experience picking mandarin and eat as much as you want in winter season.
In my case, I am crazy about mandarin, I ate as full as I could hold. Yay!
The price is 20.000won per day, included breakfast, towel, a hair drier and so on.
They have 3 houses. Blue one is for lady's room, Green one is for lady and guy's and Red one is a cafe, a.k.a meeting place. :-) We stayed at the blue one for 2 nights.
She is Sheelddi's mascot, "Nari". She was so cute and smart.
She liked eating mandarin and good at giving her hands to guest who visit Sheelddi.
She is Jindo-dog which is Korean natural monument No.53. Jindo-dog is very royal to his master and very brave.
After brackfast, We headed to O'sulloc tea museum.
There was no bus to O'sulloc so we tried to walk to get there first, but we took a taxi at the end.
The reason why we went this tea museum was that we wanted to try green tea icecream and saw vast greeny green tea farm. We succeeded eating REAL green tea icecream but couldn't see grenny farm...mmmm
After eating icecream, we moved to Ripley's Believe it or Not museum.
Ripley's "Believe it or not" are great discoveries and amazing collections. Many interesting things were in there.
And then, we walked to Jungmun beach. Just walk down from Ripley's museum, you can see the blue ocean. Sky was very cloudy but the ocean was still beautiful.
The best thing I was in Jeju is that I could see the ocean whenever i want. I hope I live near the ocean in the future. On that time I could see ocean everyday, will I be sick and tired of seeing the ocean? :-)
Originally, we planed to hike Olle course 7 but we failed.
(Basically, It takes 4-5 hourse to walk per Olle course.)
We just walked from the end of the course 7 to the biggining of the course 8. And just enjoyed watching the beautiful view, took pictures a lot with the view and made great memories together.
This statue is called Dol hareubang(or harubang), the symbol of Jeju.
It is commonly said that if woman touch his nose, she can have a baby boy when she is pregnant. :-)
**Dol hareuhbang:
The name dol hareubang derives from the Korean word for "stone" (dol), plus the Jeju dialect word hareubang, meaning "grandfather". The dol hareubangs are carved from basalt and the hat is commonly referred to as phallic or mushroom-like. (wikipedia)
Enjoyed watching this Jungmun beach and made great memories, and then we moved to Seosokkak estuary.
Actually, we didn't have any plan to visit Seosokkak but we changed our schedule because the bus we took is going to Seosokkak. We decided to drop by there and have a lunch+dinner around there.
The bus from Jungmun to Seosokkak took around 1 hour. We got off the bus and walked maybe about 15 min?, then we could see this beautiful view again. check below. :-)
Seosokkak is where the fresh water meets the sea.
Here is famous for taking a transparent kayak. In our case, it was late to take it so we chose having a dinner instead.
We ate "Galchi jorim(Steamed Hairtail)" for our dinner. Jeju's hairtail is known for its size and taste. The restaurant we visited was served this food for 3 size, small, medium and large. We took large size with 3 bowl of rice and it cost 39.000 won. It was really yummy and side dishes too!! *_*
After filling our tummies with Galchi jorim, we were thinking about what are we going to do. So, as a smart phone users, we searched where is a great place to chill out. And we found it. One of the famous cafe + restaurant was around Seosokkak. Two more stop by bus, we could get there. The name is "Nanayone".
Just 4 tables in Nanayone.
We grabbed a beer.
Warm lights, a stove, a glass of cold beer and friends.
It made me warm and peaceful. :-)
Second day in Jeju also passed joyfully. :-)Good night Jeju.
