2009 Korea (Jeju island)
^ An attempt at writing "Korea 09" in the sand as my late father always would have done on his holidays. My hotel is shown, I'm in a cheap room and can't see the sea.
^ A temple on Jeju island
^ An enormous footbridge spanning the gorge
^ my lunch and the view over the pacific ocean
^ yay! solar powered toilets !
^ there's an african art museum here, it seemed somewhat out of place
^ the bushes here are riddled with spiders, I took this to show the ladies in my house that the ones in England are tiny in comparison
^ there's a place on the coast with hexagonal columned lava rocks (like the giant's causeway) [taken with mobile phone]
^ they looked inviting but unfortunately it seemed impossible to get down to them, and the sea was pretty rough even on a calm day ! [taken with mobile phone]
^ they seem to have a thing about cheesy teddy bears here
^ a view of the conference centre from the cliffs
^ a view of my hotel from the cliffs
^ entertainment from the conference banquet
