Jeju adventure - getting there

For Easter this year we spent two weeks in South Korea - visiting Al who now works there.

He teaches in the North London Collegiate School, Jeju ...

... which is part of the Global Education City on the island of Jeju.

Jeju (officially the Jeju Special Self-governing Province) is South Korea’s largest island and lies in the Korea Strait, southwest of the mainland – it is about an hour’s flight from Seoul.

This was our home for the next ten days

Al would show us some of the sights on the island

Jeju is a volcanic island – created some 2 million years ago. It is dominated by Halla-san (Halla Mountain): a volcano 1,950 metres (6,400 ft) high and the highest mountain in South Korea. The island measures approximately 73 kilometres (45 miles) across, east to west, and 41 kilometres (25 miles) from north to south.

Jeju has a humid subtropical climate, warmer than that of the rest of Korea, with four distinct weather seasons. Winters are cool and dry while summers are hot, humid, and sometimes rainy.
