Jeju- Getting Around

Jeju- Getting Around

Jeju Island can be reached via plane or ferry from mainland. Unlike a lot of places the airport is close to Jeju City making it easy to get downtown and start exploring. We took the bus, bus number 100. The buses in Jeju don't take cash bee, so first I ran off to a convenience [...]

Camellia Hill 카멜리아힐

Camellia Hill 카멜리아힐

After our exploration of the Tea Museum and Innisfree's Jeju House we grabbed a cab and went to Camellia Hill. This was because it would be faster than any other way. (Walking was estimated to take about 2 hours, a bus walking combo being 40 minutes and taking a taxi about 16 minutes). Camellia Hill [...]
