11 May 2008 :
During the May 1st to 5th holidays we made a much longed for jaunt to Jeju, the largest island of South Korea located well south on the western end of the peninsula. Jeju do is now known as a self-governing province, also one of UNESCO's world heritage centers,well known as a premier tourist spot.....we had an amazing time there.....we loved the beaches, the picturesque roads, the fish, the oranges, chocolates,the numerous heritage and culture centers,the laidback life........everything!
at the Mokpo ferry terminal
refueling
towards the ship,N got along with Karthik really well
boarding the Queen Mary!
fooling around with Karthik during the ship journey 
on the ship deck.....it was way too windy
right out of a picture postcard
Seongsanilchulbong.....it's a peak which you can climb, N and I skipped the climbing part!
typical Jeju figurines
Seongsanilchulbong
inside our condo.....just arrived and N already changing the decor, inspite of Jaya's protests!
at Jungmun beach.....N had dozed off....woke up and was happy to see the water!
at Chongjiyeon waterfalls....testing the waters
wave watching
yellow flowers and us!
the submarine tour wasn't such a joy ride for N as he felt a little queasy and had to be pacified with a lollipop (given by a considerate fellow passenger)
I thought this Japanese guy was cute....hence the pic!
sand and sun and 2 sleepy men
our condo.....it was refreshing getting away from the city,N and I were shouting in glee!
orange trees all around
check the number of tourists
Marado island.....start of the submarine tour which I skipped because of my motion sickness,N did say he saw lots of fish during the tour but it wasn't a joy ride.
Jeju special meal......absolutely delicious spread!
N wanted to go his way, and I wanted to record his antics!
N asking Jaya to remove the wrapper of his umpteenth chocolate of the day! I simply gave up.....
"Can I have that and that and that as well?!" at the teddy bear museum
waiting for deta to get back from his ilchulbong hike
at the entrance of the Manjang cave
N freaked out and refused to enter the cave.......it was scary no doubt,so we just waited and watched people....
and went crazy playing with his new fishing rod
N enjoying his kalguksu noodles
us enjoying our okdom jongshik (okdom is a fish my Korean tutor said I had to eat while in Jeju and so we did.....it was super yum!)
the maze!
successfully navigated the maze at last (took around 25 minutes!)
eating his 1st ever ice candy! yummmm.....
at the Samgumburi entrance
pyeoson beach.....N wanted to keep going!
Jongbang waterfalls
chilling with the men
