Jeju Olle

Stage 7

We left Seogwipo with all clean clothes (washing machine in hotel room) and lunch, dinner, breakfast and beer as we knew there were no stores.

The day started with a heavy wet mist and remained cloudy, but no rain.  Route 7 closely follows the coast – on cliffs 30 meters above the sea or along the water’s edge with only the sound of waves lapping the rocks. This stage has the reputation of being the prettiest path of the Olle trails.
