The tour was made up mostly of Koreans so there were no English guides, because of this we got treated like royalty ( we think that is the reason anyway). We were first onto the submarine and seated right up the front with the driver. This was much to some of the older Korean ladies dismay who were trying to get ahead of us by going under our arms or pushing us aside. They were promptly told by the crew to get back in line though.
For dinner we tried some of the local black pig at a Korean BBQ, absolutely delicious!
The next day we hired a taxi driver Mr Ko to drive us around the sites of the eastern part of the Island, he was very funny and a budding photographer who loved Josche's camera so he spent most of the day climbing into weird positions to take photos for us. Below is just one of the many positions.
The women on Jeju Island traditionally dive for food for there families and to sell. We got to see some of the women in action the oldest one was 82!
The following day we climbed Mt Halla and holy crap was it hard work! It took us about 3 hrs return we did the shorter track and our legs have been sore for days but it did have amazing views.
Next stop Osaka....
