This past Monday was Buddha’s Birthday, so we had a 3-day weekend to enjoy. We decided to go to GeoJeDo, an island just south of the main Korean peninsula. Had I realized it was both so beautiful and accessible, I’d have gone there long ago.

We left on Sunday morning and drove the long way around, past Busan and Masan in the west and around to TongYeong, a city on the island accessible via a series of bridges. We spent two fabulous days driving around a looking at the wonderful seascapes, flowers and mountains. Coming home, we took the ferry for a short 40 minute boat ride back to the mainland.

I made a short photo gallery of the trip, which can be viewed here. I also took a few short video clips of my and my gal. Check that out below.

Three-day weekends should come more often.
