Day 65 - 66 ( Geojedo Island )

Hi everyone! On the 24th and 25th of October, we have decided to go to Geojedo island!! Reached Sasang station at about 9am before proceeding to the inter-city bus terminal. Wow.. the bus tickets cost a whopping 15100 won!! Since the bus comes at 1030am, we went to macdonal for breakfast!~The happy girls waiting for the bus to move!

Seriously.. this ride is really long.. it took us at least 3 hours 50 minutes to reach the destination Jangseungpo intercity bus terminal!!After we checked in our motel, we manage to get lost.. not really lost.. haha.. i showed the taxi auntie Haegeumgang and ZOOM!!! It took us at least 20 minutes of ROUGH RIDE ( real fast ) and cost us 30 000 won.. really no joke to get lost in this ulu island.. where do we end up? Here lo:

A hotel with beautiful view!! The staff is so kind enough to tell us that there is absolutely no more tour + no more bus by the time we reached there..

Haegeumgang, an island made of rocks, belongs to Hallyeo Marina National Park and is also called the Geumgang of the South Sea. It is famous for both its sunsets and sunrises, and its unique rock formations.

Trying to take a few pictures when we headed for the last bus to the pebble beach!!

We've reached our Hakdong pebble beach!! Surrounded by Mt. Noja (565m) and Mt. Gara (580m), Hakdong Pebble Beach provides a cozy atmosphere. Hakdong was named so because its shape was said to be like a crane (in Korean "Hak") flying up to the sky. Compared to other beaches, it has small pebbles..

The feeling one gets when walking on these pebbles is soothing and the sound of the waves are refreshing. You can also soothe your feet when you walk on the rocks and activate acupressure points on the soles of your feet!!

Trying to touch my beard..

Trying to throw pebbles into the sea!

Found a seashell!!

Haha.. and Li Shi manage to find her own seashell in the all-pebble beach!!

The next day, we have to chiong to the harbour early morning and take a boat to Odeo Paradise Island! The ticket is expensive!

After paying our entrance ticket of 8000 won each, we have entered the Odeo Paradise Island!!

Odeo Paradise Island has become famous for its tropical botanical garden with about 3000 species of plants including camellias and cacti as well as a sculpture park and observatory!

Haha.. this ends our trip to Geojedo Island! Although we spend a lot of time travelling ( not to mention the another 4 hours ride back to Busan ), i never regret coming..
