Super windy @ Sunrise Peak 



Caught Jeju woman divers on the job from high above Sunrise peak. 

After much effort, we did it (but definitely not as exhausting as Mt Halla)!
The conquerors!

Lunch was at this restaurant recommended online.
Not cheap but food was good and fresh!
Damage: ₩14,800 for 9 pax

The abalones was alive and squirming about while the soup boils.
Kindna cruel but that's how fresh it is! 
Hair tail fish was delicious with the stew it boils in, tons of fish bones though.

After scaling the Peak, we catered half a day to Udo Island, located at the east of Jeju Island.
Udo means "Cow" and it's named this way because the island is shaped like a lying cow.

Last dinner in Jeju was at the food street near the hotel.
As it was late and only a few choices left (no pork, seafood restaurants), we settled with this simple eatery serving a variety of dishes which each of us managed to order something we want.

I had spicy seafood noodle.
Food was so-so but it had a generous serving of seafood - mussels, clams, octopus! Slurps!
I think I was full on just the seafood ingredients!
