Jeju Island, South Korea - Tuesday 6 October

I have a big day planned today. I got up early and walked into Hamdeok Beach. My goal was to see the sunrise from that hill you can see, but I'm a bit late...



Looking back to Cafe Delmoondo where I will go on my way back...



I'm on my way up Seowubong Volcanic Cone now. This is looking back to the town...


Sunrise from the top...



It's nice up here and there are only a couple of other people around...




I walked back down and went to Cafe Delmoondo for a coffee...



Not much food on offer...


I walked back to my hotel. This is my trusty Hyundai Avante...


I then set off East to my first destination, Manjanggul Lava Tube. I arrived at 9am, just as it opened. It's about a 1km walk through the cave. It's cold but very nice...






I got to the end and walked back the same way. This is the way out...






































It was a nice experience...



I got back in the car and drove further East to Seongsan Ilchulbong (Sunrise Peak). I had planned to hike up, but the hiking path was closed.




There was a path that was open so I walked along that. This beach is one of the places the haenyeo divers work from...


Looking back at the mountain...





I then drove to Seongsan Port and caught the ferry to Udo Island (see separate post).

After Udo, I drove to Seopjikoji coastal walk which was a nice way to end the day...







I drove back to the hotel, got changed for dinner and drove into town for dinner. Great day.

 Today is my last day on Jeju and I woke up to another perfect day. View from my balcony... I wasn't sure how long it would take to fill...
