Cheonjiyeon Waterfall

One of the main attractions of Jeju-do is the waterfalls, and rain or shine, I wanted to see at least one of them!  So, we found out which one had the least amount of hiking to get to it, and off we went. 
 This is a Korean raft called a t'e-u (테우).
This one was used to sail to Japan!
These figures were made from volcanic rock
I forget what these guys are called, but they are guardians of Jeju and are supposed to protect and bring good fortune to the area they are guarding.
Cheonjiyeon, meaning "God’s pond," derives its name from the legend that the seven fairies serving the King of Heaven came down to the pond on stairs of clouds and bathed in its clean waters.

The rain held off long enough for us to have a nice, leisurely visit at the falls, and then we headed over to ride on a submarine.
