| Another popular way to get around the island. |
 |
| Near the auditorium, thousands of books were being turned into pillars. |
 |
| Crossing the bridge to Butterfly Island. |
 |
| Angela escapes from the island via a fall tree trunk, followed by some children. |
 |
| We had a delicious Korean barbecue outside in the sun. |
 |
| There was a very small town in the centre of the island, presenting itself as Namiseom's capital. |
 |
| Yet another cool form of transportation: sky-cycling. |
 |
| We decided to give this one a try ourselves. |
 |
| Back in the main town. |
 |
| The Avenue of Sequoias. |
 |
| Another long-eared squirrel. |
 |
| These children were building pagodas out of rocks. |
 |
| We followed this pretty coastal pathway along the southwestern side of the island. |
 |
| Heading back into the woodland. |
 |
| Eventually we reached the southern tip of the island. |
 |
| As it was getting late we quickly made our way back towards the ferry port at the north side of the island. |
 |
| Back at the ferry port. |
 |
| Making a mark on the island, with a promise of our return. |
 |
| Goodbye, beautiful Namiseom. |
 |
| Heading back to Seoul as the sun sets. |
I highly recommend paying a visit to Namiseom. It's within easy access of Seoul and is one of the most relaxed (yet endlessly engaging and entertaining) places I've visited in Korea. Angela and I are planning to return in the fall. Next time we're going to try touring it on bikes and/or pedal-cars!
If you're interested in visiting the island, simply take the Seoul metro to Gapyeong and follow the signs from the station.
