Chasing waterfalls

I'm not done talking about Jeju yet, so I hope you're not tired of hearing about it. We jam-packed all the fun we possibly could into our short stay on the island, and I'm not about to leave anything out!

One of the many attractions that can be found on the tiny island is the "Mysterious Road." It's one of those "I need to see it for myself" type places. That's because it's a short stretch of road upon which one can apparently roll uphill while the car is in neutral. Or you can pour water on the road and watch it flow uphill. Mind = blown.

They see us rollin.' They hatin'.

We could not figure it out. How was it really possible that we were rolling UP the hill? And that the water appeared to flow up? We roamed around to look at the place from every angle. We watched other people do the same. We scratched our heads and told ourselves that it was impossible for water or cars to roll uphill. Then finally we resolved to tell ourselves, "it's an optical illusion" so we could get on to other things.

But before we leave, I'm going to sit on this pig and think one more time about rolling up a hill.
And about how cute little babies and piglets are just leeches in disguise.

We knew we didn't want to leave Jeju without seeing at least one waterfall. After all, the island is littered with them, but you still need make an actual effort to get close enough to take a picture of one.

We wear Ray Bans and babies. Like a boss.

That's the way water is supposed to flow on planet Earth!

So we made our way to Cheonjiyeon Falls. It was pretty. Then we bought a souvenir, felt festive, and left. 

What the duck.

Our souvenirs of choice. Perfect for the plane ride too.
Jk, we just got miniature versions of these bad boys.

One last stop before leaving Jeju: the beach! Even though we stayed in a beachfront hotel, the beaches in Jeju weren't exactly the frolic-on-the-shore type. I guess the island was a little too volcanic for that business. But the views were still good, and the weather was still nice. 

Nothing like a happy baby at the beach! Lol.

There was a little sand to stroll on, but that was about it. This was the type of beach where it was best to keep our sandals on and not go in the water. There were certainly people out there splashing in the waves, but since the water temperature was colder than 90 degrees, I decided I would freeze to death in it if I went further than toe deep. So we just stuck to the shore and looked at our month-old baby until he started screeching at us.

Her face has Jeju written all over it!

It was a nice little getaway, despite having our little velociraptor with us. But how else were we going to figure out how best to travel with an infant? I mean, the obvious choice was to take a weekend vacation to a tropical island with him. The internet can give loads of advice on the matter, but we thought it would be best to get out and do that dirty work ourselves!
