My Korean Life #55: 제주도 (Jeju Island) - Waterfalls (폭포)

For the first day of my Jeju trip, the weather was not ideal. It was quite rainy and cloudy and not exactly the best weather for sightseeing. However, after arriving at the airport, taking a bus to the hotel, checking in, and dropping off our luggage - we were off to see waterfalls. I snapped a few pictures of the hotel before we headed out:

Jeju island is known for its many scenic waterfalls and we were determined to see some of the famous ones on this trip. We had originally planned on doing a bit of walking as well but after walking in the direction of one of the falls and getting quite damp in the process we hailed a taxi and got a ride to our first destination. The pictures from the first set of waterfalls that we visited are below:










For dinner we had Jeju black pig pork belly in Seogwipo (서귀포시). It was delicious, they say the taste is different from your normal pork belly. Below are some pictures:




The second set of falls we visited at night. Below are the pictures, apologies for the quality as lighting was low and my camera isn't all that great:




The links below are the two sets of waterfalls that we visited, I've also included maps of the two areas for reference:
