today, it's breakfast at paris baguette once again... an easy choice since it's the only "visible" breakfast outlet available at 9+am...
after brekkie, we moved out to one of the main attractions in jeju: seongsan llchulbong peak which is commonly known as the sunrise peak. of cos, we cant wake up early enough to catch sunrise here but it is a good place to visit after sunrise too!
it is a good 30mins drive from jeju city - really, jeju is not small at all!
yes we are hiking all the way up to the peak! the climb up took us slightly more than 30mins with "pit stop" now and then...
to be honest, im very impressed with the boys' stamina. they made their own way all the way up and it is not an easy feat at all. when we made our descent down, my calves were aching and feet trembling slightly but they were still full of energy!
top: we are at the top!
starting our descent slowly with great views on the way down!
lunch was simple at lotteria, their version of Mac. after which, we did a short drive of around 15-20m to the next destination : seopjikoji. this is the place where "all in" was filmed. I've never watched the show and definitely not here because of that.
have read wonderful thing about this place of its scenery and it is really gorgeous in real life!

we saw some haenyo which means sea women who dive into the sea for freah seafood and sell them for a living. most of these women are old grannies usually in their 50-60s.
we witnessed first hand how they swim a few hundred metres out into the sea and dived into the sea with just a rope attached to them in the cold weather!
its really amazing and you have to salute them for that.
beautiful scenery @ seopjikoji!
the coastline scenery is wonderful and it was such a good stroll along it taking in the view.
after this, we were feeling tired being out the whole day so we made an early return to hotel to rest abit before venturing out to jeju city for some window-shopping and dinner.
jeju is really a place with fresh seafood - we walked past so many restaurants at jeju city with huge-ass crabs, lobsters etc in tanks outside of them.
we didn't have that since both hubbi and I are a little allergic to seafood so we settled for boring (yummy) black pig bbq again. :P
top: churros break!
bottom: crazy lots of pork - we cant finish :( and my fav. kimchi ramen!
and i think im done with doing sightseeing and hiking excursions!
time to head back to my fav. city for shopping and eating tomorrow! yeah!
