The middle part of my parents trip was spent on the island is Jeju, located just south of the Korean peninsula. Touted as the "Hawaii of Korea," we had a great time soaking up the sun and enjoying the sights that the island had to offer. Here's a quick day-by-day recap!
Wednesday (May 2)
- Headed to Gimpo Airport here in Seoul to fly down to Jeju
- Arrived in Jeju and boarded a bus to Seogwipo, a town on the south side of the island
- Checked-in to our hotel and got some shut eye.
Thursday (May 3)
-Woke up around 11 am (Glorious!)
- Headed to Cheonjiyeon Waterfall, which was just down the road from our hotel!
- Ate lunch near the waterfall and had an assortment of fish, pork, and Korean sidedishes
- Took a boat tour around the southern portion of the island
- Headed to the Teddy Bear Museum, which was a part of the Jungmun Resort, the largest resort in all of Korea
- Went to the Cheonjeyeon Waterfall and had the whole park area to ourselves! Pretty neat
- Took in the "Volcano and Fantastic Show" at Hotel Lotte on the Resort
Friday (May 4)
