From Seoul, we flew to Jeju Island, known as the Honeymoon Island, which lies to the south of the Korean Peninsula. The crowds of tourists are like ants swarming all over the arrival hall in Kimpo airport and one can see lines of tour buses waiting to pick up their guests. Our first stop was the National Folklore Museum with its great halls filled with relics and artifacts spanning 5000 years.

Our next stop was the Gyeongbokgung Palace, built in 1394 by the first King of the Joseon Dynasty.

We managed to catch a glimpse of the Blue House, the official residence of the Korean President, which was in the same vicinity.
