무의도 [Muuido] 2012

Visit Number Three to Muuido
09/15~16/2012 @ 무의도 [Muuido]


This was my third trip out to Muuido. It's a nice island for kicking back with friends and having a few beers. That's exactly what we did. This was the first time I passed on the hike though. Maybe, if I stay another year, I'll hit the hike next time. I finally had the opportunity to try 산낙지 [live octopus]; it wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either. It just tasted like the ocean, but spicier.

( The smoke looming over the bungalows smelled delicious. Everyone had little gas grills that they used to cook meat. )

Untitled
( It was a ten minute walk to get out to the water. )

Incheon Airport [인천공항역] (Seoul Subway Airport Railroad)
This is a bit of a journey, especially considering that I don't know how far you are from the airport. Take either the Airport Railroad or an Airport Limousine Bus to the airport. Goto the 3rd floor [departure floor] and exit out door number 7. There should be a little bus stop outside. You should take bus 222. This will take you to 잠진나루 [Jamjinnaru Ferry Terminal]. Check the bus sign to make sure you are going to the right place. It will have the Ferry Terminal as a stop. After about ten minutes on the bus, you will arrive at the ferry. There is a building to the right of the ferry docking point. You can buy round trip tickets inside for 2,000 won. The ferry comes every fifteen minutes. The ferry ride is super short; less than 10 minutes. When you get off the ferry and walk up the dock, there will be a bus on the right. It's green. If it's not there, it will be shorty. Take the bus to 하나개 [Hanagae] Beach. This is another ten to fifteen minutes. The bus is 1,000 won and takes T-money. To get home, reverse these directions.

    1. Ohya, I'm planning to visit Muuido immediately once I've landed in Incheon Airport. So, was wondering is it a good plan to directly go to the island? Since we have our luggage bags & all...
