We spent our first day at the most popular beach in Jeju called, Jungmun Beach. It is a beautiful stretch of sand backed by large cliffs of volcanic rock, and lush, green vegetation. The sun was beating down on us, and we were both getting our ‘sweat on’ in a serious way. Not that we weren’t prepared for the sun as I had responsibly bought SPF 35 WATERPROOF sunscreen (made in Korea) and slathered over both of us like the dickens. We also rented a tacky umbrella for the day (to prevent the broiling of our pearly white skin), and I even took the added precaution of wearing a t-shirt over my shoulders. Alas, all this was in vein. After an awesome day of swimming, exploring the beach, and card playing (I beat Matt at crib nearly 100 times, I swear) we were lobsterfied (causality number one). I guess the moral of my story is that Koreans know how to make cars, cell phones and spicy food, but they certainly do not know how to make sunscreen!
Of course during this amazing day at the beach we had to take many pictures. We still marvel at the novelties of a digital camera, especially when your camera is “all weather” and it can go anywhere with you! The camera captured the beautiful beach, the card game victories, the sea shells and our beautiful white skin totally exposed. It even caught the amazing underwater world and my charming husband in a quality photo (see picture).

Now, the funny thing about all weather cameras is that technically, they aren’t all weather. If you want further information about this, I can send you the link for the Olympus 710 Stylus All Weather Camera Warranty. Apparently these cameras do not like going in the water, regardless of the fact that they have an underwater function and we swear the guy (that sold us the camera) said they can go in the water. Oh, they can go in the water…but water damage is NOT covered under warranty. I pledge now to always read the fine print. To think of all the juicy details that only exist in the fine print world…I’ve missed out on a lot of those details in my life, and I’m not about to miss out on anymore! Our wonderful camera became causality number two much to our dismay.
Thankfully our memory stick likes water, and we were able to save the pictures of our day!
