Korea – June 2012 – Gyeongbokgung to Jeju

Day 2 : Gyeongbokgung Palace to Jeju Island

Gyeongbokgung Palace

The first destination was Gyeongbokgung palace. It is a huge place. If you want to explore the whole palace leisurely you might need at least one whole day. My 1st time visiting was 8 months ago, which I only lingered outside the palace.

Flying with Jeju Air from Seoul to Jeju

The hotel we were staying is located in front of the sea, Ocean Suite Jeju Hotel. It was nice spending some time along the sea front, walking, chatting, eating, drinking, laughing…. ^^

As what I found in their website, the view of Mount Halla is covered in every guestroom and the view of the sea is covered in 80% of the guestrooms. I didn’t know about this during my stay back then.
