On the Sunday of our trip to Jeju, we had a full day of excursions. After waking up bright and early, we piled onto a bus and headed across the island. Our first stop would be a Jeju Olle, or walking path, where we could see beautiful tide pools, vegetation, and an apparently famous penis-shaped rock. It was a bit misty and chilly, but the water was so beautiful and blue, crashing up against the rocks and cliffs of the volcanic coast.
After that we headed to a famous bridge over some waterfalls. There was an old fountain (refurbished, of course) there that granted you specific wishes depending upon which of the guardians you tossed a coin at: wealth, longevity, love, or male children.
Our next stop was a beautiful spring-fed pond. The hexagonal stones reflected perfectly in the still blue water. It was like a mirror. We got to hang out there for awhile and relax before heading to lunch.
To be continued...
