Muuido

One of the many pleasures of living on the coast, and in a port city, is that you have the opportunity to go to a lot of the small islands around the city. I had a great weekend in Muuido, which is one of those small islands in Korea. By the way, "do" - pronounced doe - means island in Korean. The water, which was about the temperature of bathwater, wasn't exactly refreshing but it was nice to be on a beach all the same. We had badminton, booze, beach, bonfires, and birthday cake. It was a really nice end to summer. I still don't have my camera, since it was demolished at Jisan, but my friend Taylor got a lot of really cool pictures, which I will include below.

Directions: The easiest way to get to the airport island is to take the 303 bus to the airport. Then from the airport take the 222 or the 302 (+ a five minute walk) to Jamjindo Wharf. It's 3,000W (...and you don't have to pay on the return ferry). Once you're there wait about for the village bus and ride it for about 20 minutes to Hanagae Beach - you have to pay a small entrance fee. (2,000W) The beach huts are 30,000W plus a 10,000W deposit. Or you can pitch a tent. It's free to camp if you own a tent or you can rent for 4,000W. There are seafood restaurants over there and a corner shop so not need to cart your food and drink all the way there.
