Driving around in Jeju Island - Day 2

After a great night sleep in December Hotel (please do take a look on the post on my accommodations during my stay in Korea), we started our day with a great breakfast from Paris Baguette bakery Cafe. There are no direction there cause it is actually everywhere in Jeju island just have a walk around your resting area and you might find one! 

We continue on with our second day in Jeju island with visiting waterfall. There are a couple of waterfall in Jeju island namely Cheonjiyeon Waterfall (near Seogwipo), Jeongbang Waterfall and Cheonjiyeon Waterfall (at Jungmun resort). 

We then proceed to the so call "MUST-GO" places in Jeju island which are Teddy Bear Museum, Alive Museum, Chocolate Museum, Ripley's Believe It or Not! Museum and etc. We did not manage to visit all of them due to time constraint. Therefore, we only went to Teddy Bear Museum and Alive Museum. 

We had so much fun specially in Alive Museum, we had thousand and one photos and we over spent our time there. Therefore, for those who really have a tight schedule please do set timer or something cause you will easily overrun your time there.

During our stay in Korea or Jeju Island, we did not really research much on food however some of the famous ones were mentioned during our research of places. Most of the time we will just pick whatever we think should taste good. Just go with the flow. 

Looks good? This was found near Teddy Bear Museum but I am really sorry cause we were so hungry and rush of time I forgot to jot down the name of the shop. If you did come across this shop please do leave me a comment as then I could amend the post. Thanks in advance!

Night time in Jeju was mainly shopping and very limited famous locations that are still open. As for us, we went to Loveland and Mysterious road. Loveland mainly for sexual education (it's website state that it is a sexual theme park) and because it closes at midnight, therefore we went there just to have a look. If it is your first time going to Jeju and would like to just kill some time during the night, do check out this place and let me know what do you think. 

For those who are wondering what is mysterious road, It has earned its name, as objects and liquid appear to roll and flow up the hill instead of down, when, in fact, such image of gravity defiance is an optical illusion rendered by the seemingly high surroundings. However, by the time we reach the place it was late and pitch black. Therefore, we did not manage to witness any of the mysterious things as claimed. Do let me know if you manage to witness them.

This ends our trip in Jeju island as we would be taking the morning flight back to Seoul the next day. Do check our my post on our arrangement for car rental including most of the famous destination phone number for GPS location in Jeju island.

Driving around in Jeju Island

I have been talking a lot about my time in Jeju Island, but it is not possible if we did not rent a car to drive around there.

Prior to going over to Korea, I did my homework in searching for the best deal for car renting in Jeju Island. There are plenty of companies dealing with car renting in Jeju island e.g. Hertz and Avis. It is a well known Sime Derby subsidiary company call Hertz. 

But after doing some homework I realized to go ahead with KT Kumho as the rate is reasonable together with their cars are really new. Don't really have a full picture of our rented car but manage to find one of it as below:-

I can really say that I am very satisfied with what we got which is Hyundai Avante. Total damage is 94,600 KRW which includes 65% of insurance for our 3 days 2 night stay. 

There are a couple of things if you would like to drive in Jeju Island. There are plenty of speed track along the highway. Do take note that speed limit is about 80km/h over there unlike in Malaysia we even complained about 110km/h. 

Something to take note about during car rental in Korea is that some of the car rental services only provide Korean GPS. Not to worry about that cause the Korean GPS is designed easy to be used even by people like us. By just clicking a few buttons, you are able to key in the last 7 digit of the destination and it will lead you directly to there.
