Jeju Island Day 5 on Bromptons - Udo Island here we come

Good morning Pyoseon with a temperature of 9ºC, leaving the villa and passing by the restaurant we patronised the night before.
At the stamping booth of Pyeoson Beach after our first 6km of cycling.
Drying of squids just like a flying flags as we rode by.
Along Hwanhaejangseong-ro with clear sky and superb weather, what a wonderful time for an outdoor activity.
Black rock stacking is widely seen in the island ranging from short to tall stack.
All kind of seaweed commonly seen along the bicycle the lane as they are laid to be dried.
We started to see vast yellow field again after nearly 30km of cycling and as usual a lot of photographing. The hill behind is the famous Seongsan Ilchulbong Peak, a crater that looks like a gigantic crown and it is beautiful in a morning sunrise.
Seongsan Ichulbong seems to be another popular touristic spot with many seem visiting the yellow canola field, horse riding and a nice long edge ride by the water. 
The booth of the day at Seongsan Ichulbong.
Taking a gamble entering this so called traditional seafood restaurant and a different kind of experience for raw fish, the Korean way. This shop is found at this location GPS : 33.470022, 126.930230
I love raw fish and this Korean delicacy is surprisingly gorgeous.
Seongsan Ferry Terminal where we bought our tickets to Udo Island at 2,000won per person and the bicycle was separately charged at 1,000won.
We need to fill in these Declaration Forms and show our passports. Just couldn't figure out why it is required.
It was a 15 minutes crossing, packed with weekend visitors. The ferry departs at every 30 minutes from Seongsan Port.
Welcome to Udo Island, a miniature island of Jeju. The island is full of amenities and tourism outlets like fishing, bike trails, sand massages, submarine tours and cruises.
A stop in the island for a light refreshment.
We had limited time on the island and was not possible to ride round the island fearing that we might miss the ferry. Anyhow a short ride around the neighbourhood was done for the record.
Goodbye Udo Island and it was a brief touch down and a memorable one. The seagulls were following us as we ferry back to Seongsan.
I would rate this as the best BBQ pork I had in this trip at Sehwa (in a small town) (GPS : 33.527114, 126.855153) . The name of the eatery shop is Halla Pork Restaurant and per pax was15,000 won.
Per accommodation was 60,000won, Manjo Hotel Sehwa It was recommended by the helpful lady at Halla Pork Restaurant after a desperate hunt for a place to stay. It was a nice and colourful building located at GPS : 33.523655, 126.866467 (Myeonsu-gil).
