We woke up very early on our third and last full day in Jeju City. We had to pack our suitcases and it was our plan to leave them at the hotel lobby where all bags were being kept until the hotel guests returned later in the day, picked them up, and left. There was no storage room. All suitcases were placed in one corner and surprisingly enough, nothing was stolen. The hotel staff merely collected all suitcases and tagged them. We were given a stub to claim our suitcases. I remember us giving back our room keys and checking out early that morning.

We wanted to retake pictures of the grandfather statues in front of the Arario Museum and so off we went to see them again. Shortly thereafter, we decided to check out the building which was supposed to be the site of EMART, a local supermarket chain. We had seen it two days earlier but we never went it. It looked very quiet and abandoned from the outside. Little did we know that it was still in operation and lots of people did shop there.

There was a huge supermarket in the basement of the building and it had an impressive bakery. We bought two huge pizza slices, two sandwiches, and bottled water. We ate the food by the supermarket exit where benches were available.

Our plan for the day was to visit the Folklore Museum. We just walked. Little did we know that admission that day was free since it was a special day, a holiday. We were told it was Culture Day. It was a beautiful museum. I particularly loved the exhibits that showed showed the customs and traditions in the island in the olden days. We stayed until 2 pm. We walked back to the city center and I finally decided to buy the souvenir I saw at Dongmun Market when we first arrived. It was a wooden Korean bento box like the one I bought in COEX Mall last 2007 but bigger in size.

The elderly lady seller asked for 90,000 won for the item. I was able to lower it down to 75,000 won, roughly $50. It was a steal in my opinion since the first one I got decades ago in Seoul cost me $70. After we made the purchase, we decided to go to our favorite GS 25 convenience store to have late lunch. I didn't get a Bento box this time. I got a ramen bowl instead while my partner only wanted to eat the fruit, a huge tangerine, that the lady vendor gave me together with my souvenir purchase. We returned to the hotel, claimed our suitcases and got an UBER ride to the airport. The ride cost 8,200 won. Really inexpensive. We arrived in the airport in time for our 7 pm flight back to Seoul.

We checked in at the Business Class/Star Alliance Gold desk and then we proceeded to the lounge. There we stayed until 6:20 pm. By this time I panicked because I thought we were done with security. We weren't. We made a quick dash for it and fortunately we were done in just a few minutes. We went straight to the gate. Boarding was at 7:05 pm we were off by 7:20 pm. There were lots of passengers but the flight felt very comfortable. IT wasa quick one at 55 minutes flying time.

We arrived in Gimpo Airport in no time and our suitcases were the first ones to come out of the baggage carousel in baggage claim. We took the metro where we still had to transfer at Hongik station then took the green line to Euljiro to go to our hotel, the Lotte City Hall.
