| Saw this building under construction as I walked over to Lake Side Station. Its a hotel. Woww...I can imagine how nice it would be to stay here ^^ |
 |
| The deck that leads one from Eco Bridge Station to Lake Side Station. |
 |
| Its time to move off to the next station, Picnic Garden Station. |
 |
| First thing to do once you reached the themepark is to buy the train ticket. |
 |
I was so attracted to the ecosystem when I first saw the forest train going through Gotjawal forest on FB. Since I like scenery so much, I know I must come ^^ After buying the ticket, proceed to catch the train. The train will depart from Main Station, stop by Eco Bridge Station, Lake Side Station, Picnic Garden Station, Lavender, Green Tea & Rose Garden Station, and return to Main Station to complete its circuit. The interval for each train is quite frequent. One can take your time to explore each station and catch the next train whenever you want.
|
 |
| First stop, Eco Bridge Station.
Really love the idea of walking on the deck built over the water with beautiful surroundings. If you want to take a picture without much people in the background, either you get off the train fast or wait till the crowd cleared as they walked over to Lake Side Station.
|
 |
| From here, one can either walk or go back to take the train for the next station, Lake Side station. I think most people will walk over to Lake Side Station as the deck naturally leads to the next station. It was actually a short and relaxing walk. |
 |
| I took a taxi from my apartment to Jeju Bus Terminal and the fare was 4500won. |
 |
| Not sure if I can refer to this time table a not. I was advised by the Tourist Information Centre to take bus no.230-1 for Ecoland. I think there was another bus to Ecoland whereby you can take from the bus stop outside the tourist Information Centre. Was it bus no. 130-1? The timing for bus no.230-1 was 10.17am, while bus no.130-1 was 10.19am. The time interval for bus no.230-1 was every 40mins and bus no.130-1 was every 2hours. Time taken for both to reach Ecoland is the same. |
 |
| Bus no. 230-1 drove off from the terminal at 10.17am sharp. |
 |
Reached this bus stop, "제주 돌문화 공원 Jeju Stone Park" for Ecoland at 10.50am. You will see this after you get off the bus. Ecoland as shown by the arrow. |
 |
| Cross the road of course.. The bus stop as shown by the arrow was the bus stop where I took bus no. 230-1 back to Jeju Bus terminal for my return trip. |
 |
| Cross the road and then walk along the road(against the flow of traffic) for about 3 mins and you will see this entrance. Take the stairs. At the end of the stairs, you will see a large car park. |
 |
| 도착 ^^ It was pretty easy to get here by bus. |
 |
| There were quite a few restuarants near my airbnb apartment but I went back to 청도 for breakfast. Any guess to what I want for breakfast?? |
 |
| 전복죽 Abalone porridge ^^ I was surprised to see the number of people in the restuarant! The tables were mostly taken up. Almost all of them were having the seafood soup for breakfast... I was so tempted to order the same thing again but I endured... |
 |
| Abalones were tough as I have expected ㅠ ㅠ Koreans tend to put in the abalones first and followed by other ingredients......haizzz... |
 |
| Good morning!! Still feels like a dream to wake up to this view ^^ |
 |
| If only I can wake up to this view everyday.... 제발....if this is a dream, I dun wanna wake up...... |
 |
| Finally, I came back to the apartment.. |
 |
| Very basic and clean place. |
 |
| Convenient store is about 5 mins walk from the building. |
 |
| Looks good but so so only... |
 |
| 3 layers and with the heating system, I dun feel cold at all ^^ Downside was when I opened the sliding doors to see the view outside, mosquitoes flied into the room!! And they left me with really big mosquito bites ㅠㅠ |
 |
| Overall, I am very happy with my stay in this apartment becos of the seaview ^^ The host was ok and he has a lot of good reviews. He usually responded within 2 hours to my questions before my check in. During my stay, his response was very slow. Once, he replied more than 24 hours later..... *rolled eyes That's all for the nite. 잘자 ^^ |
 |
| I took bus no.445-2 from the bus stop right outside Jeju Bus Terminal (where the Tourist Information Centre was located) at 5.30pm. The stop nearest to my apartment was, "용담레포츠공원 Yongdam Sports Park". |
 |
| This was the stop, "용담레포츠공원 Yongdam Sports Park". I reached here at 5.47pm. |
 |
| The pub right next to the bus stop. Can you feel the strong wind lol Super cold...... I actually like the ambience of this pub but I dun think anyone could enjoy the ambience under this cold weather >_< |
 |
| Dinner at this restuarant which was a few mins walk away from my apartment. It was also a short walk from the bus stop to this restaurant. |
 |
| The restuarant during the day. |
 |
| Looks so empty but there were actually many people during meal time and quite a lot of Koreans blogged about this place. |
 |
 |
 |
| Close at 10pm Glad that they are open at 8am ^^ |
 |
| I was really impressed by their generous portion of Ganjang-gejang 간장게장!
Usually I dare not eat but this time, I tried and its so yummy!!
|
 |
| 잘먹겠습니다!!! |
 |
| Lots of clams, mussels, 2 mini crayfish and 3 abalones ^^ This is superb!!! |
 |
| The abalones become tough if you leave them in the hot pot, so I removed them after I took my pictures ^^ Yummmyyyyyyyyyy!!! |
