Trip on a Whim-Day 5

So today it took a while to get up. Sleeping in felt so good. But the day still started around 10 when the girls called and said they wanted to go to the Botanical Gardens and some of the others who hadn't seen it wanted to see the Budhist temple. So we hopped in taxis again and headed for Jungmun where this stuff was. I wanted to see a waterfall there, so I decided to go the waterfall on my own. It was a great looking waterfall and was easily accesible. The thing with Jeju is that most every tourist attraction cost a little money. So it adds up, but it's fairly cheap. It's about a $1.50 charge each time for the tourist stuff. Well worth it.

So we check all this stuff out and then head back to the apartment as the rest of the group has to leave by 12:00ish to get to the airport. They all had a 4:30 flight. I get to the apartment, not sure whether I wanted to take the ferry or the plane. I had researched some of it earlier and found that if I stayed till Sat., I still wouldn't get back to Daejeon till late at night. So I got online and found an airline leaving Jeju to Cheongju (closest airport to Daejeon) for around $54. That was about the same I would pay for ferry and KTX. And this plane ride would only be for an hour, instead of 5 hours or whatever. So I quickly called and reserved myself a ticket.

All of us then got on a bus for Jeju city to try to find an Indian restaurant Tim recommended to us called Baghdad cafe. Well, we get to near where he told us it was and we couldn't find it. So I split off and started walking around the area. So I asked this random guy if he knew where it was. I showed him on a map where it was supposed to be near and he just pointed to the city hall. I knew where the city hall was, I wanted to get to Baghdad cafe. So I said "Baghdad cafe" and he was like "where"?. Then I said it again. Then he was like "oh, Baguhdaduh" cafe. That's kind of how you say it in Korean accent. After I said, yes, he laughed and pointed two buildings down. There is was, and I felt silly. He laughed some more and I thanked him and called the rest of the group. This was God's Provision #4. The restaurant was incredible. I had some stuff called Chicken Mankhani (something like it), garlic nan bread, and a strawberry drink. Great meal before flying out. So we all go to the airport then. I was flying a different airline from everyone else as mine was a low cost airline. To board my plane, I had to go out to the tarmac, grab a little bus for the plane and then they drove us to this little twin engine propeller plane. It was a fun plane ride. The stewardess made balloon animals for the kids in the plane. Who does that? But it was cool.

So finally the trip was over....I took the bus back to daejeon and now I'm back in my apartment. I have some amazing photos of the whole experience that will help me remember and I have memories that will last a long long time. God was so good in this trip. How is it, that 14 of us managed to have such an enjoyable time and do so much and not got upset with each other? God's provision for sure.

Well, I'm beat, and hopefully I'll put some pictures up here soon of the experience.
