Despite the somewhat cloudy conditions, it was still hot and humid out.
It was a warm breezy drive into town, and we stopped at the GS 25 to pick up some drinks and a few popsicles. My favourites are the classic "Jaws" bar, which is usually filled with strawberry or an orange inside, though solid all the way through.
Another tasty treat is the honey dew melon popsicle, which is this perfect fusion of fruit and creamsicle, giving you a real sensation of eating a cool slice of honey dew melon.
And third, but not ranked lower in the least, is the watermelon slice popsicle. I've only had one, but it was the best damn watermelon popsicle ever. They're a lot harder to come by than the other two.
We arrived at the Hyatt just after ten, and started walking around its facilities looking for a way down to this somewhat more secluded beach on the far side of Jungmun's main beach location.
Waves looked big and scary; surfer's dream come true.
We eventually found this smaller and almost non-existent beach (due to high tide) after walking down a path through a bamboo-ish jungle. We found even more massive waves awaiting us there.
After taking a few minutes to read and relax on the tiny beach, we decided that it might be worth it to check out the main beach back on the other side.
The water was just as fierce, and there were even a few surfers out catching some waves, but all I wanted to do was go for a swim. However, because of the strong undercurrent, and the repeated intercom warnings in Korean, I didn't go in too far. Just a quick splash in the waves, which were easily capable of ripping my shorts off and pulling me out to sea; awesome.

I can't understand why they aren't able to provide ridiculously delicious popsicles in North America... everywhere else seems to have them.
