Korea Trip 2012 - Part 9

Our last day in Jeju we explored more of the island.  The island is famous for these stone statues.














I loved how many of the women's restrooms on the island had a cartoon of the famous diving women.

I couldn't resist taking a picture of this "family stall" in the women's restroom.  A big toilet/bidet for mom and a small one for her child.

A cool-looking foot bridge leading to another hike.













I was bamboozled.


Andrew says this is the only waterfall in Asia that empties into the ocean.



There was some crazy exercise equipment in this park.




The Shilla Hotel would have been nice to stay in.














More Korean Grandmas selling stuff.  These may have been divers, too.  They were selling abalone, oysters, etc. right along the shore.





 A lone fisherman.





I liked seeing these horses grazing next to the ocean.  Then Andrew told me Jeju is the only place in Korea where they eat horse meat.  Sad.

Another Buddhist temple.








Our last snack in Jeju before flying back to Seoul was this Dragon Bread.  It really is shaped like a dragon and is filled with custard and peanuts.  Yum.



We flew back to Seoul arriving around midnight (again).  We slept for a few hours and then took the train back to the airport to fly home.  What a touching trip it was to see where both Alex and Andrew spent two years of their lives, teaching the gospel in this wonderful, very unique country.  Dave and I both commented that international travel is getting harder in our old age.  We were wiped out after the frantic pace we kept for those 11 days.  But we both agreed it was extremely worth it!
