The path to the cliff area was in pretty sunset light and my photographs could not capture the fairy tale or magical light that surrounded me at that time.The small park that includes the sight was behind the Convention centre, accessible by a short Olle along the sea.
I was right on time and joined the other tens or maybe hundred of tourists (for 2000KRW) already on the platform setup to view the rocks. The big rectangular shaped rocks were impressively stacked to form the cliff, and the sea was splashing with white foam against the black rocks.
The sun was setting fast and I had to walk back to the main road to catch the bus to Seogwipo. I kept on walking hoping I was on the path of the bus/airport shuttle I took the day before. Taxi fare was 10000KRW and I had no idea how far I was and night was falling alarmingly fast. Eventually as I was crossing a bridge a bus approached and I hailed it. It stopped and the driver let me in, but he grumbled something like " I'm not a cab". I pretended to understand nothing, paid my fare (2000KRW) and rode until Seogwipo safely.
The day finally ended beautifully, with 8600KRW spent on entrance tickets to the various attractions, and 10 000KRW spent on bus transportation. Food was relatively cheap since I barely ate all day. I spent some time picking up water, bananas and cookies, instant noodles and chocolate bar at the convenient store before sleeping in early, satisfied and anticipating the next day.
