South Korea: Seagull Cruise

Our last outdoor activity in South Korea was the seagull cruise. Our bus simply drove into a large ship and parked there.

Then we came down from the vehicle and climbed up on deck. Since our first day in Jeju Tuesday, we had excellent weather again even when we were back to Seoul. Watching seagulls flying in the blue sky was a pleasant experience.

These white coastal birds with black markings on the wings were so used to the tourists' feeding that they did not hesitate to fly close to our ship

to get their snacks when they saw our stretching hands.

Sometimes I threw a prawn stick to a gull which it missed to seize with its bill. The stick did not float too long on the water before another gull with sharp eyes grabbed it.

In a few hours', we were going to fly higher than the seagulls. But we did not have to compete for food, for the stewardesses would not fail to feed each and everyone of us.
