After travelling for over 24 hours we arrived in Jeju Island, in the southern part of South Korea where we checked into the Hyatt Regency for a little luxury to assist in getting over jetlag.
Jeju is known for its hiking, scuba diving, kitschy museums and honeymooning. We spend the first day exploring our surroundings. The scenery is gorgeous.
We checked out Cheonjeyeon Pokpo with it’s three waterfalls, tropical gorge and botanical garden.
We saw lots of Dolharubang, which are volcanic stone statutes .
The original ones were carved in 1750 and 47 originals still exist. One legend is that they were designed to ward off evil. Another legend is that they were fertility symbols.
Steve, of course, found a crazy deal at the Hyatt which included a massage package…ahhhhh. The Spa has a jjimjilbang, traditional bath house similar to the Japanese onset which we have been enjoying as well.
