We woke up early on Wednesday and were of course greeted to a huge breakfast cooked by JJ’s mom. After breakfast, we walked over to the bus terminal with JJ’s father. It took a while checking with everyone at the bus station to make sure that we were going the right way. At first I thought that no one had ever heard of Sanbangsan, but realized that they were just trying to figure out the fastest way. At one point, there were at least 6 people all looking at the bus route for us. We finally figured out which bus to take and were on our way. The driver was awesome and bowed to everyone when we boarded and let us know that he was going to take good care of us.

The weather was great and it was awesome to get some fresh air as opposed to that on the mainland. This area is on the southern part of the island. We were about an hour away from Seogwipo, We first headed down to Dragon Head Rock and walked around the beach where women were selling fresh seafood and soju that was way over-priced.
We weren’t allowed to climb this but spent a lot of time checking out the coastal area near the mountain.

She was refilling her bucket to hold the seafood that she had already caught. She was part of the group of women that were selling the seafood.

We had a great time enjoying the nice weather.

We stopped for some ice cold beer which was nice after walking around for a few hours.

If you have ever visited Jeju, you know that these statues are everywhere. These Dol hareubang(돌 하르방) statues are famous and a lot of tourist end up buying a couple of small ones to take home.

We ended up spending about four hours here and then made our way to Seogwipo for lunch.
