Jeju Olle

Stage 3

After walking 2km on Route 1 and 14.5km on Route 2, we had a choice for Route 3 – inland or along the coast.  We took the coastal route (3B) as we could not find anywhere to stay on the inland route, plus we like walking along the coast.

Rain threatening, we were glad to arrive at the Lasania Resort without getting wet.

We chose the coastal Route - we like walking along the coast

Next morning it was blowing a gale and raining hard. But the forecast indicated an improvement mid morning so we waited a while and avoided the rain but not the wind. Hard work walking along the coast into a gale!
