Urban Farming for Food

  #WrappedUp #BestOfBothWorlds Jeju Olle Trail offers great trekking experience for trekkers from novices to experts. It consists of many urbanised trails chained together. Retaining the old world charm and natural beauty of the places through careful design of the trails. Loved our treks around the world and I must say Jeju Olle Trail is uniquely Jeju. #ForBeginners The trails allow you to go slow, take a break or even abort if needed to.  Relatively easy terrains, quite flat and many food choices along the trails and ready public transport too. Each trail length is typically within 20km and average around 15km. Manageable distance for most. If you missed anything, it is easy to buy there and then too.  With good choice of accommodations, food and public transport along all trails, it is therefore possible to either choose to stay in a few locations and go light with just a day pack or go like classic back packers, trek , stop and stay as you move along.  Stay withi...

#Route7-1 #GoingExtra #Clocking124km We have completed enough distance to get the mini 100km certificate. We also fell in love with Jeju Olle Trail and decided to revisit. Hence 437KM is our next target.  We will probably plan to complete everything in total 3 trips. With that in mind, it makes sense for us to cover more this trip.  We did route 7-1 immediately after we picked up our 100KM certificate. Took a bus to the start point at Seowipo Bus Terminal and trekked clockwise back to Jeju Olle Tourist center. Route 7-1 is a 15.7km route and estimated to be done in 4-5 hours leisurely. We had a heavy breakfast with the intention to skip the mid day lunch and complete the route by 2 or 3pm. # JungsanganVillage #EongttopokpoWaterfall #GoeunsanMountain After walking past the Jungsangan village and the Eongttopokpo waterfall, we were greeted by the Goeunsan Mountain Forest path. Beautiful, scenic and therapeutic.  At the top of Goeunsan Mountain, we are greeted with the paran...

#Route2 #Route1 # Honiniji  #GoseongMarket #DaesusanbongPeak As mentioned in the introduction, we experienced some hiccups with our flight a week before our trip and had to reshuffle our plan a fair bit. End result was, we combined and rescheduled route 1 and 2 to day 4 of the trek/ day 5 of arrival. In return, we were rewarded with a visit to the Goseong 5-day Market which only opens on the 4th, 9th, 14th, 19th, 24th and 29th of every month (noticed they are 5 days apart, hence the name). Do check their schedule again before you plan. Note: One route a day is certainly more enjoyable and the way to go. #Honiniji #WeddingPond #ForestBath Along the way as we trekked toward the wedding pond from the route finished point counter clockwise, we chanced upon interesting houses. One in full purple. Instagram worthy sign board with 2 hearts at a traditional house near the wedding pond. Nice spot for photos. The cloud on that day was really beautiful. Difficult to not capture them.  Tr...

  #Route5 #Route6 #Cliff #TangerinePlantations Today marked the last day of our trek to complete the 100km. Combining route 5 and 6 was planned all along. From document and maps, route 5 is marked as medium and 6 as easy, with total distance of 24.4km. We thought is a good choice to combined the two. Again, we are so wrong. They are once again better to be done on separate day. We took a bus from our accommodation in Seowipo to the start of route 5 and trekked clockwise. The bus journey was about 45mins. Route 5 started as a rather flat coastal route. With lots of sea birds and tangerines plantations. But the easy path soon turned rocky and was best assisted with trekking poles.  The paths by the cliff were not so easy after all. Good trekking shoe with ankle support and good grip is essential to enjoy the trek.  #Wimi-ri #Momguk #PorkNoodle #Gulfweed We intended to have brunch today nearing the mid point of route 5 just before the Wimi-ri. As usual, found a local ea...
