Now I have met quite a few tubes in my time but not one as big as this. This was on my to do list for Jeju. The rain was still lingering about this morning but a quick check of the weather forecast app informed me that after 9am all should be well and it was. There were patches of blue sky, the rain had cleared but the wind was still very strong.

I went to the lava tubes first and then planned to do a bit of walking afterwards, although it was still about 3km from the bus stop which meant I had a short walk to begin with.

I saw this beautiful spider eating a recently caught fly, they look very similar to spiders that I get at my house in Australia.

There is a single strand anchored onto this pot plant keeping the whole web in tension, they are amazing engineers.

The lava tube is about 1km long and you need your brolly when you go inside, especially after all the rain we have had over the past few days. The surface underfoot is amazing, the rock was once a river and you can see the eddies and all kinds of formations and textures along the length of the cave. It’s not well illuminated inside and there are not colourful crystalline structures to see, but you can see the power of nature when she gets very hot and bothered. It’s fascinating and well worth a visit, but bring your brolly just in case and a jacket because it was very cool inside only 15c.

I enjoyed going here and as you leave your subterranean experience the humidity is overwhelming but short lived. My specs steamed up but all I had to do was face the wind for a few seconds and I was defrosted.
