Day 6- Olle # 9 / Sabangsan Mt./ Hwasun Beach


After a cup of coffee and a conversation with God at the Hyatt overlook, I was once again ready for my next course Olle # 9-Jungmun to Hwasun Beach. This course took 4 hours with a few short cuts. My favorite part of the course were the cliffs.

First, I was taking pictures of the majestic feature, then the next thing I know, I was on top of the same cliffs I was earlier taking pictures of. I reached Hwasun Beach by 3pm; set up tent on the beach and waited for darkness to come. I could have stayed at a fairly new guesthouse/coffee shop next to the beach, but by the time I had set up tent, I was feeling satisfied to stay in the tent.

The view here is stunning and yet ironic at the same time. Gaze towards the right and you'll be in awe of Mt. Sabangsan. However, turn to the left and you'll find a great man-made structure for the Association of Shipbuilders. Here is a great example of the rich history of Sabangsan and the shipbuilders of today.
Joyful Guesthouse is perfectly set in between. Mr. Kim Sang-Sik, the owner of this guesthouse built the place with his own hands. They moved from Seoul with his family and started what I feel will be a great business in the coming future. I would recommend the place to anyone planning to visit Jeju. The lodging cost is 18,000\ per night. Contact info is: Mobile 010-8998-5551/064-792-5551. They even have free transportation service to and from the bus station.
Well off I go to my next course- Olle #10
