Early Sunday morning. Introducing my travel mates, Agnes & Ligna - ssi! We are scrinting from the morning sun but nice photo. 有出国的感觉 = ) |
What is a bucket list? It is a list of things you want to do before you kick the bucket ; ) |
I dont look like im running for life but Ligna was supposed to be stopping the train! |
袖手旁观! |
Ssshhooom ripple ride in Korea ~ |
Wild boar. There you go, how did you think we got our black pork dinner? |
Ligna-ssi presenting the "Elephant Tribe" |
Ligna & me, the sisters of height phobia = / |
A 自编, 自导, 自演 scene in Korean Dramas. Evil older sister pushing down innocent younger sister. |
First time anyone look so excited to be eaten (going to be) by a crocodile! |
How does it feel to receive an Oscar award from Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie? |
I plant you collect $$$$ |
Ssshhhhhh |
I love this picture! Because it is like dream come true for me = ) |
I quit! (perhaps after the Korea trip) |
Democratism - S. Korea |
Autocratism - N.K |
Helping Superman undress (hahaha!) |
Im still trying to figure out is it because of murder that i am appearing on K news... |
Im guessing this would be Ligna-ssi favourite photo. Look at her face! |
To end our story at Trick Eye Museum, the BIG ASS. No regrets for sure = D |
Sneaky picture of the performance |
The boys train very hard |
Lunch was at a place next to the Dwarf's Land Theme Park. We settled for lunch before the place were filled with chatty Korean 중학생. They have really good appetite! 잘 먹겠습니다! |
We only have 15 mins for the Theme Park! |
Miniature Statue of Liberty in Korea |
We've been New York together = D |
London Bridge. (Look out for Buddha behind the bridge) |
Awww 101 Dalmatian |
There's a Catholic Church in Korea |
Shrek, Fiona and folks. We met in USS Spore and we meet again in Jeju. It's fate. |
가개 |
We walked a good 15mins to get to this waterfall! I forgot to add, good thing we had ice-cream on our way back because the short walk kind of exhausted us. |
Ligna-ssi |
Agnes-ssi & me |
Ligna-ssi & me |
Agnes & Ligna-ssi |
Seogwipo 70 Ri Romantic Cruise. Yes, romantism with at least 50 other
Ajummas & Ajussis onboard the cruise *winks* |
Good breeze. Good hair. |
Off we go! |
The forlorn look. (We wanted to do a Titanic scene) |
Ligna-ssi very focus in getting good pictures |
That pointy one is Mun Island. You can actually go Scuba diving to Mun Island. Next time we go! |
Mun Island |
Almost to the end of our cruise trip! Jeju-do is amazing because there are so much to see. |
Ajumma & Ajussi's favourite entertainment on our way back. Imagine them dancing and singing along. |
We saw a fallen lamp-post at the trail so this picture inspires to tell a story. Haha see how much we are enjoying our trail. |
Say "Kimchi" to beautiful JeJu scenics |
Sea view through my canon camera |
An island that we are walking towards in this trail. |
A few of our day tour mates stopping the shops (mostly selling pineapples and other fruits) along the pathways. |
Ligna-ssi at Jeju Olle trail |
Agnes-ssi and me at Jeju Olle trail |
Why so many pictures? You just cant stop taking pictures in Jeju. I finally know what that means. |
And i wish i knew what this was because everything is just lovely on camera. |
Dont just look at the island. Look at the autumnish lalangs as well : ) |
Finally we got someone (a tour mate who can't stop smoking) to take a picture for us with the island as background. Awww, so nice! |
The leaves are turning red |
Trees and trees and alot of trees. This is nature. |
Beautiful, isnt it? 예쁘다! |
A 自拍 |
Spotted a cafe! Cafes are everywhere in Korea. |
We were trying to figure out what the statue meant. Ligna-ssi said it's a pregnant mum and daughter. My tourmates are just so imaginative! |
Nice picture taken with my iphone 4s camera |
I like! Siting on every fence we see = ) |
Spot Ligna! Another self-directed emo shot. |
Beautiful scenics make you girls even prettier! |
My favorite lalangs |
Picture taken by Ligna-ssi. Kamsahamnida, it's a good shot. |
They are everywhere! |
The iconic "dol hareubang" (aka grandfather statues) are sold in the shops along the trail. These are the miniature 하르방 돌 |
The spot was also one of the filming location of the famous historical drama, Dae Jang Geum (大長今). Seogwipo in Jeju is really quite amazing. |
大長今 fliming spot |
This girl is too cute to be 大長今. |
That's the end to our short, 50 mins Olle trial. So much to see already and there is more that we haven seen. Till the next time. 다음 시간까지! |
We were lucky when we visited the Tangerine farm. The tangerine season is from Oct to Feb = ) |
A couple in our tour group thought these were unripped lemons! Come to think of it, yeah they do look like lemons at this size. Regretted not picking one and keeping it! |
After a long day tour. The girls wanted a nice warm local seafood dinner. I bet it was awesome although there many suspicious looking "stuff" in that seafood pot. |
돼지고기cooked in sweet sauce with sesame. I remembered it taste good. |
Hum hum hum. With my "in-dept" knowledge in seafood. This should be a
조개 (Jo-gae aka shellfish)
|
The usual Korean side dishes (반찬) and the yummy-to-the-max steam egg. A very simple dish but absolutely appetising for a cold weather. |
I MUST take a picture with Jeju Seafood! = ) |
Seafood pot. Must have tasted quite good and fresh by watching the girls eat, other than some suspicious looking "stuff" surfacing from the pot from time to time. |
Last Night at Jeju-Do. This road leads to our "home" = ) |
We went to Trick Eye Museum - Circus World (Asia's best motocycle show) - Lunch cum Dwarf's Land Theme Park - Cheonji Waterfall - Seogwipo 70 Ri Romantic Cruise -Jeju Olle trail - Farm of abundance & freshness - Mysterious Road.
ReplyDeletehi. chanced upon your tour when searching for jeju tour on weekend. saw that you girls went on a sunday? cos i tried searching for it and they said no tours on sunday.. mind sharing which tour did you girls went? thanks!
ReplyDeleteOpps, replied as comment
DeleteHi Kristen, yes there is very little tours available in jeju on sundays, fortunately this was the only one we found. It's call trolley limousine tour. They have 2 course, east & west but guess because it's sun so we didnt have much of a choice but to go along with the offered. You can email them at jttus@naver.com to book the tour in advanced. The last i called them but the person cant really speak english so email maybe better. And just to warn you the tour guide we had couldnt speak english so u may wanna request for eng speaking guide, if they have. Have fun!
ReplyDeleteHi Claire, I am actually trying to find out how do I book the jeju trolley tour. The main website seems to be down, no matter what I clicked, it brings me to a blank page with a few korean words. How did you book it? Through that above-mentioned email?
ReplyDeleteJust some questions, does the tour bus pick you up and drop you off at your hotel directly? How much is it per pax for both the east and west course? How did you find the tour personally? Would you recommend driving instead of the tour?
Hi Charmian, i booked it through the hotel conceirge. They helped us make a call & booked it over the phone.
DeleteBoth east & west course should be the same price, per pax at 39,000 won. If you want to take both, that means a 2 day course, it would be 69,000 won. You can arrange them to pick you up & drop you off at your hotel lobby. It's a tour bus so they will also be picking up other passengers.
The service is good & the only drawback would be that there the tour guide couldnt speak english so unless you understand Korean, you probably wouldnt understand when he explains about the places. You can try asking for a english speaking tour guide, if you book in advanced. Otherwise, alot of places were covered at the tour & i enjoyed it :) If you drive it might take you more time to cover more places unless you're very familiar, but it depends if you want a more chillax time as compared to a guided tour. Enjoy because Jeju is really beautiful!
Hi can anyone give the me website please? Where can I book this 39000 course? Please
DeleteHi 茶客, below is the website for more infor on the trolley limo bus tour. You can find 2 different routes, east & west course depending on where you prefer to explore ") The places posted on my blog is west course. Do also keep in mind that reservations are to be done at least 1 working day in advanced. The prices may have changed as that was few years back. Best to check with them when you make reservation. ") Have Fun!

Hi Claire, how does this bus route work, do they just stop at each tourist spot for 15,20 minutes and then you hop back on the bus to the next destination ? Do they give you enough free time to walk around or it's somewhat rush? Thank you
ReplyDeleteHello HKPUPPY, Yes the bus stops at a few destinations (you can select the route based on places you want to visit) and each stop is about 20-45mins depending on the place of interest (if there are more things to see & do then it tends to be longer). After that you hop back to the bus & it takes off to your next destination.
DeletePersonally i found it ok, though some places may need more time for picture taking, but i feel that you can visit more places with the bus tour. Otherwise you can go free & easy to places you want to spend more time. That's what i did as i had 3 days in jeju. Hope this helps! ")

Hi Claire,
ReplyDeleteMany thanks indeed for your review and insightful information. Can you please share the email ID you used for booking. The one you have noted above is not working & I keep receiving Delivery notification failure. Your help is much appreciated.
Thanks
Hi there, here is the link of yeha tour at Jeju:
Deletehttp://www.yehatour.com/eng/dailytourbus/west
The first one i went for was pretty long ago and they didnt have a
english translator so i would recommend you to go for Yeha. They have
tourguides that were conversant in english and the routes that are
covered are very enjoyable! You can visit their website for contact
details. Have a good trip! = )
Admiring the time and effort you put into your blog and detailed information you offer!.. Milton Party Bus
