The ferry left at 10 and we got there 25 minutes later. We ended up renting a golf cart for 30,000, a total ripoff. We were looking for the "park", and the drivers didn't understand us. There was, however, one woman who communicated to us that it would be 30 to have our own until noon, so we decided to just do that.
The "park" turned out to be the entire island. We saw the lighthouse first with little lighthouse replicas from all over the world in front of it. Then we saw the chocolate museum (the museum was closed, maybe because of the rain?) but left pretty quickly and found the snail building, got sort of lost between the locals' houses, found the road again, and found a buddhist temple. There was a monk in there leading prayer that could be heard on the street through the speakers. There were people praying inside and in the hut to the left there was a man doing I think calligraphy on some tiles.
We ended up circling the island three times, not understanding we'd already made it the whole way. We passed the southernmost point two times before realizing what it was. We took pictures there and then caught an earlier ferry back to Jeju Island at 12:32, to be exact. We arrived at 13:00.
10 minutes later, we caught a bus. At 14:15 we were in Jeju-si. We checked into the Olympia Hotel (we paid 20,000, the normal standard room rate, for a 30,000 special room -- no idea why we got that discount), right across from the bus terminal. We then decided to walk around a bit to try to find a place to eat, but we had no luck, so we hopped in a cab at 15:50 and got to Loveland at 16:11. We got sandwiches and coffee there and then paid our 7,700 to get into Loveland.
When we got back to the hotel we decided to go out for some beer and dinner. We found the restaurant Cobaco. It was super yummy! I got sushi (a california roll) for 6,000 and Ronald got a curry dongass and noodles for 8,000. After we started looking for a bar but decided to just buy some beer and soju and go back to the room -- we had to get up early to go to the airport!
