Return of the King

This weekend I got to go back to a place that is special to me and some of my friends, Muuido.  Many Koreans don't know about Muuido, because it is not one of the famous islands like Jeju-do,  but it offers a simple weekend getaway for people living around the Seoul area.

Although it is a simple place with only several restaurants on the whole island, it is not boring at all.  There is good hiking, ATV riding, and you can stay on the beach for as low as thirty dollars a night.

If you wake up early enough, you can cross the land bridge in between Muui Island and Silmi Island, where a bunch of prisoners where trained to attack the North.

People came from all over Seoul Area and met up at Incheon airport

Then we had to go on a local bus that took us to this road

which took us to a boat

By the time we reached the island, the sun was coming down

 You can see that in the low tide, the water recedes about 500 yards so in order to reach shore, the 

police use a hovercraft

For some reason, the king is unhappy

Inside the beach huts

Unfortunately there is wind in the background 

Animal coats are a part of Korean style

Goodbye Muuido!
