Jeju Do Day 2

We spent most of our second day in Jeju do hiking Mt. Halla, the major feature of the center of the island.  The hike was no joke, but the weather was awesome and the views were worth the work.






 

We had a late lunch at the bottom of the mountain after we came down, then decided to drive over to the northwest part of the island to visit Hallim Park, where we enjoyed viewing the flora...

 

 


...and fauna on display.



 We also tried the local cactus juice,


and stopped to pose by one of the "stone grandfathers" (hareubong) that are everywhere on the island.


We were pretty worn out from the hike and walk through the park, but we decided to stop by a beach on that side of the island to just dip our feet in.


Dinner was another local specialty--black pork (heuk taeji), which we enjoyed along with the sunset back on the southern side of the island.
