Still in Busan

Friday - I think - I seem to be losing track of time.

We went up the Busan Tower today - it was a great experience - similar to the tower in Soeul - but when you walk out of the lift, you feel as though you are leaning out and it is very high up.

The views from here were really impressive the weather gave us a clear view of the whole city - especially clear was the view over the harbour / docks.

So when we got down to ground level, we checked out the time of the ferry to Jeju - A good job too as there was no ferry for Sunday - the day we planned to go so we decided to go on the Saturday.

In the evening we checked out the local pork restaurant - really one of the best meals in Korea - you cook it yourself on a grill in front of you- the restaurant was very busy - we had to queue - so at least we knew it was a good restaurant as it was so popular.

Saturday - we packed and checked out - leaving our case to pick up later. Suri lost her top somewhere today - I think it was left outside the hotel as we waited for athe taxi.

To fill in the day we set off to catch the bus - but could not find the right one so we changed our minds - Sur did I mean, and decided to go to the museum and cultural centre - it was closed, then we went on to the UN cemetary - which was next door and quite moving to know that so many Brits lost their lives here in Korea.

Next to this was a park where there was a sort of local festival going on. I have to tell you break dancing is still alive and going strong here in South Korea.

A good day was had by us both - it was pretty hot too.

Then we set off after picking up our case an headed for the ferry terminal - the taxi driver of course took us to the wrong one, after many protests - we decided to get another taxi - to just around the corner.

Then we decided to pamper ourselves so we booked up the royal suite on the ferry - one of only 2 - 2 berth cabins the rest were either 10 sharing in bunks or 50 sharing the floor. Well worth it I say at 150,000 won - At least we got a bit of sleep, and the sea was calm too.

We arrived at 6am today Sunday the 15th here in Jeju, and believe it or not the Tourist info desk was open and so we managed to get into the Hotel Marina - not a bad place.

After breakfast we strolled along the beach and I 'm afraid to say I got a bit sun burned - even with my new cap.

To finish the day off we had a lovely beef meal not far from the hotel.

Oh well time for bed - Suri wants to climb the volcanoe tomorrow - I will report back.

Bye 4 now.
