After having a hot Korean style breakfast with bowls of rice and dishes of oarfish stew seasoned with soy sauce at a seafood (raw fish) restaurant near 'Yongduam', we started our journey around the island.
The route for the MTB hiking team was planned to ride bikes through Iho Beach, Shineom-ri, Aeweol Port, Gwakji Beach to Hanlim Port and then have a lunch break there. The itinerary for the walking tour team, however, was planned to get into the mini-van directly to Hyeobjae Beach to enjoy swimming and then move to nearby local villages through Olle trekking courses, not far from the beach. The mini-van returned to support the bike team after giving us a ride to the entrance of the beach. It's a typical hot and humid, but fortunately pretty sunny and breezy day, as well, in Jeju-do Island on August 1, 2010. We were able to swim at the clean, peaceful and emerald or green jadeite-colored Jeju beach for over an hour before visiting a nearby tourist information center to get an idea how to have access to the closest olle route available.
We walked along the Olle trekking course No. 14, surrounded mostly by fishing villages decorated with low whinstone fences until we had a lunch break at a local hamburger restaurant. After lunch, we walked through the road number 1132 westbound to our stopover point near 'Jeolbuam', a part of the Olle trekking course number 12.
