Jeju adventures

Jeju's landscape is indeed beautiful. We saw waterfalls and hiked up parasitic volcanos. David and I were still fighting colds so we didn't do as much as we wanted. The center of the island is a dormant volcano known as Hallasan. It would have taken about 3-4 hours to hike up and another 3 hours to hike down. Unfortunately, we weren't able to do this hike but should we ever return, it's on our list. Instead we visited Cheonjeyeon waterfall, Seongsan Ilchulbong, Jeongbang waterfall, Jusangjeolli cliffs, and Hallim Park.

I'll start w/the waterfalls on this post. Cheonjeyeon falls were actually a series of 3 waterfalls. We only saw 2 since, I didn't feel up to going down a set of stairs to see the 3rd one. There's a 7 nymph bridge that we crossed in the park. This area appeared to be popular w/honeymooning couples.
Jeongbang waterfall is supposed to be the only waterfall in Asia that falls into the ocean. David was not impressed by the falls but found the rocks there to be much more interesting. The video says it all. You can see a part of the waterfall in the background.
