Trip to Haenam (Day 1)

I spent 3 days in Haenam last week. The trip was great and i really enjoyed the beautiful scenery of Haenam. Haenam in chinese character is '海南' (Hainan) ! It's the same as the Hainan Island in China, I was surprised when I first saw the word '海南' in the map. '南' is South, and '海' is sea, that makes sense because Haenam is at the South Western part of the Korean Peninsular overlooking the Yellow Sea.

We left Gwangju at 5.00 pm and reached Haenam Bus Terminal at 6.30 pm. After that we took a bus from the terminal to Ddangkeut and put up a night at a motel. The motel is clean, comfortable and most importantly cheap. Ddangkeut means 'end of the land', which is the southest part of the Korea Peninsular. It's a small township with harbour, motels, restaurants and stores.

Surrounded by green green agricultural land.
