Jeju Island continued

5. leaving seogwipo. The first thing we had to do was return the scooters we had rented the day before. We took a bus north made it to Jeju City somewhat late in the day and decided to have dinner before catching the free bus to the ferry terminal. The plan was to board a ferry to Gwangju, but we missed the last one by about five minutes, forcing us to...

6. find a cheap guesthouse close to the terminal. It was a bit of a disappointment not having more time in Gwangju because of five minutes, but it did allow us to see Yongdu-am (Dragonhead rock) and adds to the packing list.

7. early morning ferry to gwangju. The ferry did not assign us seats. Why? True to traditional Korean style there were none, of course. Instead passengers and their belongings gathered into large carpeted rooms and made themselves comfortable on the floor for the three-hour trip. There are advantages and disadvantages to this set-up. One advantage is that you can sprawl. One disadvantage is that some people will sprawl. But once you find a little space for yourself, it's quite nice to just be able to lay down and relax.
