Road Trip 2010 … A Lazy Day in Jeju

I awake the next day feeling tired but at the same time refreshed by the previous hike. I extend my stay at the hotel by an extra night and Arthur and I share a last lunch before he’s off to catch his boat back to the mainland.   We exchange emails and part ways. I head over ...

We also took in a dolphin show.  It started out with trained seals, and the finale was a dolphin show, quite entertaining.   Afterwards, we went to the race tracks and put 5,000W each down on ...
