Beach Bums

Once we reached Jeju, we hopped on a bus to Jungam Beach on the south side of the island where we camped in his one person tent. Woo hoo! It was a little cramped (to say the least) but we had a nice view! In the morning, we hit the beach for a little body surfing and sun bathing.


Ah! It's the Shiny Octopus!


"I will swallow your ship whole!"


It was sorta a Twenty-thousand Leagues Under the Sea kinda moment.


The beautiful beach below the cliffs.


A super cool moth I found that looked like bark on a tree.


And now the Octopus eats octopus... We picked it out from a tank, they cut it in half on a block out front, stuck it in a pot, and voila! No, it didn't taste too good. Jeremy was keen to try it live like Koreans do but the man at the counter didn't understand and so we had it steamed and dead. I can't say live octopus tastes any better....




A beautiful beach. Not too full either. But the sun was HOT and renting an umbrellas was $20 for 2 hours. Eek! So we sat in the sun...


...And got burnt. Poor Jeremy. His head was blistered. Apparently our sunblock was not waterproof. If only that bottle had been in English and not Korean...

A room with a view--were our tent sat.
