Jeju Island - Day 3

Our last day in Jeju Island and we finally got time for breakfast liao! Cos today we hire a chinese speaking tour guide with car for 5 hours at 150kwon (SGD176) to bring us ard so dun need so rush. We load all our luggage into the car cos the tour guide is sending us to the airport at the end of the tour. The deal is quite good also cos we can choose wherever we wanna go within the 5 hours.

The 1st stop is to a crater call Sangumburi Crater. The crater is really deep and is all covered with grass and plants. We can only walk ard the rim of it. Also from the crater we can see Mt Halla, Korean call it Hallasan 汉拿山.

hotel breakfast, not buffet de :(

Jeju Day Tour is very packed, but we did cover a lot of places. Like a total of 6! We met our tour guide UNO at 8am then we proceed to pick up other members b4 gg to the tea musuem call O'sulloc. There were 3 other grp of ppl, from taiwan de, Japan and one local. UNO can speak, mandrin, spanish, japanese, korean and english! Meng!

We arrived at the museum at ard 9 plus then walk ard. The museum is divided into 3 parts, the tea pot exhibition, the tea house and the tea plantation. The tea sold there is not really cheap! and they sell tea related product such as tea cosmetics also hahaha.
