Jejudo: The Last Day

Our last day in this fantastic place! Beauty around every corner. Our plane didn't leave until that night, so we still had the whole day to spend on the island. We made one more scenic stop at Hwasun beach, which has views of the Yongmeori coast. At a different location, there is a path you can take and walk around for some up-close views, but we didn't make it there.

After wading in the water for a little bit it was time to go on. We decided to do something fun and kitschy and went to a fun park. They have small scale models of all sorts of famous landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower, the pyramids, Forbidden City, Statue of Liberty, etc & etc. It was cute. The girls had a lot of fun.

Very exciting moment; she loves Shrek!

When we were at this "mini-park" we let our oldest use the small camera to take her own pictures. I wanted to see it from her point of view. Some of the shots were pretty good, but then she started taking pictures of random people. I'm not sure if she did this because she wanted pictures of people, or because they always take pictures of her & her sister and now she thinks that you're supposed to take pictures of other people!

Since Jejudo is so small, you can go from one side to the other in about an hour. So, we decided to drive back to Ilchulbong, the extinct volcano that has a quick path to the top. This path is short, but oh so steep! The sun had come out and driven off the fog, but it was also beating unmercifully on us as we hiked up!

Taken near the top. The large greenish roof is the entrance point. See how far up it goes?

Though brief, this hike is intense! After this, our time here was up. We drove our rental back for return and went to the airport. It was a fantastic trip, and I do hope we have a chance to go back!
