I think those shore-side cliffs made of columnar posts are the Jusangjeolli Cliffs -- stunning!
I'm glad you continued to have interesting and enjoyable experiences while in South Korea.
Thanks for posting!

Seehag, thanks for posting the link to this in the lounge. I'm enjoying it!
I almost made it to Jehu this year as my DH had a conference there but he ended up not going. I'm just glad we found out before we booked my flight

I am glad if anyone found any of this of interest! I read trip reports that are so informational and this is like gossip!
I want to go back to Jeju and do more hiking and go to more beaches. I know I will probably return since I have family in Korea and it is a quick inexpensive trip from mainland Korea. We didn't see any of the large resort type of hotels so I don't know what that area is like. Although we didn't drive on our trip, it looked like it would be pretty easy to navigate the roads with a GPS.

I mentioned this on another thread in regards to beaches in Korea. There is a beach season with a starting and ending date. For the most part nobody goes to the beach out of that season, even if the weather is great so I suspect you can probably get good deals on beach resorts on Jeju and in Busan outside of the "season." My son said most Koreans do not know how to swim so there are lots of lifeguards in boats just off the beach to make sure people don't wade out too far. They always yell at my son to back in when he is swimming.

I loved it too SeeHag!
We visited Japan in April 2012 and I was recovering from an illness and had very little energy. I can so relate to your day in Kyoto! Basically I had enough energy to get around for about 2 hours in the morning, a quick lunch and then a lazy afternoon in my hotel room. It certainly made sight seeing challenging especially as my daughter and I got lost one day.
I enjoyed hearing about your interactions with locals!
