Trip on a Whim-Day 4

This day started out early. It started at about 5:15. Why you ask? Well, we all wanted to walk over to the other side of the island to see the sunrise. So we walked over there and Tim and I found a great spot near a lighthouse to take in the sunrise. The walk over to the east side though was about a 40 minute walk, so it was a decent walk. Well, the day was perfect for a sunrise. The clouds were a little on the horizon but not covering it and the weather was beautiful. We stayed and watched the sunrise and then started walking back over to the other side of the island. Tim was on a bit of a schedule because he had to start work again this day and also had to drop Nikole off at the airport. So we were walking back at a good pace, but it just seemed like the island kept going on forever. So we were walking and then all of a sudden a car came up beside us and offered us a ride. The person didn't know us, they just wanted to help out. So this lady drove us to the other side near our pension. God's Provision #3. It never seases to amaze me how God cares so much about the little things. Like not having to walk sometimes when we are so tired. Don't get me wrong, I did a lot of walking this trip, it just seems that God provided right when we needed it.

Well, from this point, Tim and I walked up to the rental place on the island to see about renting scooters and bikes. I decided to rent a bike and bike around the island. It about 14km. I biked it and had a really enjoyable time just being in nature and seeing the beach. I got a serious sunburn though. Gets me every time.

After biking I decided to chill for a while. Then I decided to ferry back around 2 to go climb sunrise peak. It a giant rock mountain that has a crater in the middle of it. It's a huge tourist site in Jeju island, but well worth it as well. So I got there and climbed up a bunch of stairs to the top and enjoyed the crater. It's a beautiful piece of God's creation for sure. Whenever I go to things like that I am always in awe of what all he has crated. From the big to the small, to the ugly to the pretty. It's all his creation.

I met up with the rest of the crew at the ferry terminal around 5 and we all bused back to the apartment. Some of the group wanted to go to the bathhouse, but me and a guy named Johnny didn't feel up for it, so we decided to go find a place to eat at. We found a great Korean BBQ place and ate there. Well, after that, the rest of the group called and said they were going to a sweet Italian restaurant. Not the best of communication there, but we went anyway to see the place. I ended up ordering only a shake, but the restaurant had a lot of style and looked really nice. To end the night we went down to the beach near the restaurant and hung out for a bit.

Somehow Day 4 was done and only Day 5 was left.
