Excitement awaits us in Jeju

We made it to the famous Sanbangsan Hotspring Spa (산방산 탄산온천)
healing carbonic acid of Jeju Island. A wefie is a must!

This is one of the outdoor spa pool where you are clothe, of course!

You can enjoy the scenic view and wind in your face as you dip in!

You see that building there? Go right down to the basement
and you'll find the public spa area where you get to enjoy the rare carbon
hotspring in Jeju!

A picture of the resort-like outdoor spa. And it sits right on
top of a mountain. How else can they get mountain spring water =)

This is a secret snap of the tag at the indoor spa area where
there are strictly no pictures allowed. Just a warning that the
Ahjumma isnt the friendliest, just make sure you obey the rules
of the hotspring. Dont forget to shower yourself before heading in
the spa! = P

After our relaxing spa, we picked our next destination
- Jeju Dinosaur Land (제주공룡랜드)

Before we head into the Dinoland (which i always wanted to visit 'coz i have a
thing for dinosaurs haha), we decided to fill our empty stomach! Spa always makes
us hungry

식당에서는 재미있는 장식이 좀 귀여워요!

 I ordered a beef steak. The steak is huge but the sides are
kinda small, and of course has a fusion of korean 반찬 (side dish) taste

Ligna-ssi looking famished LOL (It must be hotspring that's
making  us sleepy or it could be the distracting Korean drama
behind me)

So that's the drama behind me LOL Btw it's so nice to be part of the
Korean culture -  seated on the floor and dining.

제주공룡랜드에 왔어!

THIS greeted us at the entrance of the Dinosaur Land!
Tyrannosaurus is a genus of coelurosaurian theropod dinosaur, 
Aka Tyrant Lizard.

Maiasaura is a large herbivorous hadrosaurid dinosaur genus
that lived in the area currently covered by the state of Montana.

Tuojiangosaurus is a genus of herbivorous stegosaurid dinosaur from the Late Jurassic
Period, and guess what, it lived in China. Aka "Tuo river lizard"

Triceratops is a genus of herbivorous ceratopsid dinosaur that first appeared
during the late Cretaceous period, about 68 million years ago in what is now
North America. I have always thought that Triceratops are carnivores though.

What a non-chalent look with the dinosaur haha

Haha it's really funny how Ligna-ssi takes a picture with the
blooming flowers instead of dinosaurs in Dinoland! Surprised by
blooming autumn leaves at Spring.

Reached the square of the Dinoland!

And this is really my favorite. 아주 키가 큰네요!

I can almost hear that...tiny human beings!

I love this picture. Ligna-ssi looks tiny here.

I wonder how long it took the sculptors to do these...
Muttaburrasaurus was a genus of herbivorous ornithopod dinosaur, which lived in what is
now northeastern Australia 

Okay, let me warned you about the endless shots of dinosaurs
just 'coz i've been enthralled. Feels like Jurassic Park!

날아가는 공룡 (flying dinosaur)

What a nice shot of us both! = ))

Then we went into a cave that leads us to see the skeletal structures
of the real dinosaurs. Night in the museum, Korean version?

As the trail leads us...

There were "moving" dinosaurs that scared us quite abit
with the roaring sound effects. Hee hee

Brachiosaurus is a genus of sauropod dinosaur from the 
Jurassic Morrison Formation of North America. It's long 
neck makes it look like 기린 (giraffe).

Guess! Where did we head to next?!
This is the feeding area of real animals & they love carrots.

봐...흰색 염소

미소지요? (Is he smiling?) 

ok, can i ask for a picture pls?

검은색 염소...

Then, we entered an air conditioned exhibition with interesting facts of
the world of dinosaurs. Here is the history... 

아기공룡

Precious stones...quartz

Turquoise stones actually look like this

Amethyst...wahhh 

This must be Ligna-ssi's fave photo 'coz it's taken with her
lavenders. Cannot forget how excited she was when she saw
those pwetty flowers.

From afar, we SPOTTED CHERRY BLOSSOMS! The reasons we came to
Korea in Spring!!!!

Such an artistic picture, isnt it?

벗꽃!!!

And i want a nice picture with Cherry blossoms...wheee

This picture is for Ligna-ssi =)

Close up..

놀라운 느낌! 진짜!

There were so many cherry blossom trees lined up in Dinoland.

A check off my bucket list = )

and as we stroll by the garden of cherry  blossoms...

They bloom for a short time but beautifully

신기해!

A whole page dedicated to my first ever cherry blossom

Blow wind blow...just enjoying the lushness

Peak-a-boo!

Sun gets in your eyes. Loving dinos too. 

I dont know why we bring such huge bags out to sightsee in Jeju.
Haha oh random. Fierce shot.

Eeeeeww...feeding off

Just chilling with the Dinosaur haha

I love this picture very much.

Trying yea...

And there was a pottery making class for children

Double the trouble. This was the last shot of Dinosaurs before sun set.
(I must add it was the only time we saw cherry blossoms during our Spring trip.
So glad we came!)

Next stop! Welcome to the world of
Butterflies in Psyche World Theme Park
(프시케월드 - 나비공원)

We bumped into seven dwarfs, whois
musically inclined heehee

Loving a selfie with the dwarf though
I wanted one with Snow White.

This is really 신기한 거울

We were given gloves before we entered
so as not to leave our fingerprints on
the mirrors. 

Cant stop snapping lol!

And the lightings turned pink. Haha
easily amused

We entered the 나바와 나방 전시회

Butterfly specimens. Pretty?

Koreans are artistically talented

나비 공원 (butterfly garden)

There they go again. Really into miniature essembles depicting pictures. Some educational, some are awkward spoofs, but lotsa creativity. This one features exercise equipment in their physical training. LOL

This is the Eskimo era and there are penguins too!

How about Bugs' General Election?

Life of the olden era...

There's a fountain and balloons too. But bugs as the characters...hmm

Bug's first attempt to the Moon

Bugs Land? Really i dont wana go there

Alas some butterflies pretending to be Beetles (Is that
an intended pun?)

Oh this is my fave - 화투 (Bugs playing Hwatu or flower cards)
Things you still see in Korean drama today

If you haven watched Gladiators

Circus!

Building of the 돌하르방

A game of chess anyone?

I thought this was pretty creative too. It's call the Galage.

Bungee Jumpeeeee....~

By the time we finished the exhibition, it was closed to closing hour. We had such
a long day out and visited so many places of interests = )
Early morning walk to Saeyeongyo Bridge, Sanbangsan Mountain hotspring, Dinosaur Land and ended the evening at Psyche World Theme Park!

As we wait for our cabby to come...last welfie with the ladybug of course = )
