Geoje Island

Build came along, and got me at the roundabout, and we headed off to Geoje Island. We were talking so much, that we ignored the computer navigation a few times, and it took a bit longer than it should to get there, but it was okay. We stopped at a service area to get some petrol, and to have a break.

When we got to Geoje, we found the Jjimjilbang (찜질방) we were staying at, had a shower and get ready to attempt to sleep. Basically, Jjimjilbangs are public baths (segregated) and then a large communal sleeping room. So, in otherwords, with the way some Koreans are (basically, rude and selfish), didn't get to sleep until about 1:30am. There was a young couple near by, which were talking until about 1am. It would seem that, even though they are annoying other people and being noisy, no-one told them to shut up, so I didn't wanna be the grumpy foreigner. Just do what I do in Korea, ignore the shit that pisses me off. lol

Got about 5-ish hours sleep. Build woke me up at just after 7, and we got showered and went to a close by restaurant for some breakfast, and made our way to catch the ferry to Oedo (외도).





Basically, Oedo is a Garden of Eden. Just check out the photos:








After our time at Oedo, we got the ferry back to Geoje, and went to Mongdol Beach. Mongdol beach is kinda famous in the area, because it is a pebble beach, not a sand beach.


We had lunch there, and relaxed on the beach.

We went back to Geoje city, and checked out the POW Camp/Museum.






Time was getting on, so we made our way back to Jinju, via Tongyeong, a coastal city. Kind of reminded me of Mokpo and the seafood market at Nampodong in Busan, with all the boats. My bus was at 7pm, and it arrived just in time for me to get the bus back to Sachang. Good timing.

Thanks for the awesome weekend, Build. Hope to see you soon.
