TRANSPORTATION IN YEOSU

Yeosu is "city" HAHA so lots of taxis and bus. But bus interval around 15-30 minutes hmm actually if your schedule quite packed it gonna waste your time, so mostly here in my case, because i went with my 2 friends so we shared using taxi cheaper ₩2800/ first door open.

TRUTH STORY

well we arrived at Yeochon Ferry terminal and have no clue where we are, no body here no restaurant no bus nothing. And... only 1 ahjussi came over us and asked," where would you like to go?" Actually in geumodo has 5 tracking courses that you can choose, you can see here http://tour.yeosu.go.kr/en/leisure/walk

And but see? Too starting one course you have to reach the starting point 1.2코스 4.6km or 3.4.5코스 9.7 WHAT??? hik :") so far omg so you have to choose to take taxi YES in this island has taxi but im not sure how it is surely mustbe so expensive since no gas station here HAHA so we chose go walk... yes walk.

Along the way super beautiful, sky so clear and water also so blue and finally we gave up on 2.5km HAHA we've been walking for 1.5 hours and decided didnt take any course. So if you see the map

여천행-송고행-함구미행

YEOCHEON-SONGGO-HAMGUMI

We already reached till songgo and still half way to go to Hamgumi the 1st course entrace HAHA 

So finally we went back to Yeosu with 9am ferry. Sorry guys cant give you more information about the course but trust me it already so beautiful around but if you have much time and energy try it!

Ciao!
