Jeju vacation Day 1

So, for my Summer vacation I decided to sign up for a trip to Jeju Island with Adventure Korea.
The First Day was pretty good. We went to Gimpo Airport and had a quick flight up and down. We were only on the plane for about an hour and it was a pretty smooth flight.
Upon arrival we headed for a restaurant to have Black Pork–a famous Jeju island speciality. It was pretty fatty and mixed with a few vegetables. It really just amounted to some marinated sam gyup sal. I was pretty disappointed with it, since it’s really built up as a specialty of Jeju.
From there we set off for Udo island, the largest of Jeju’s satellite islands. We went to a few places. The first was a horse farm by Lion Head Rock. It’s what you would expect, a rock that looks like a lion head. From there we headed for a black sand beach to take some pictures. Our final destination was a White sand beach.
It was beautiful and quite enjoyable. The sand was a bit weird. You really sank into it rather than walking on top of it, it had a kind of snow like quality. The water however was beautiful and blue and you instantly dropped off into very deep water after only a few steps.
From there we went back to the main Jeju island and to a restaurant for dinner. Unfortunately it was pretty subpar. The food was all remarkably unremarkable. It really was the kind of quality you might expect from a school lunch.
THe last part of the day was checking into the hotel. It’s really nice. From there we headed down to a night beach and set off some fireworks.
All told a pretty good first day.
