I am keeping this report short. I completed the route with my Physics colleague, Cliff. This is a particularly easy route, even by Jeju Olle standards. One thing that be came apparent early on was that I cannot hold a conversation and keep my eye out for the route markers. It seems to me that many of the ribbons were missing anyway. According to my GPS, we kept to the route, but there is a section towards the end [in reverse] where the trail heads inland slightly to link up with Olle 15A. I think that we set off down the road but could not wee any markers so stuck to the coastal road, completing the hypotenuse of a right angled triangle.

Now this is something that you do not see every day! A aman taking his tortoise for a walk. I believe it to be a African spurred tortoise, also known as a Sulcata tortoise (Centrochelys sulcata). These can live up to 70 years. I estimate, from its rings that this one is about 20 years old. It seemed to be smiling and really enjoying its walk.

African spurred tortoise, also known as a Sulcata tortoise (Centrochelys sulcata). 

• Size and Species: They are the third-largest tortoise species in the world.
• Habitat: They are native to the hot, arid environments of the sub-Saharan deserts of Africa.
• Behavior: Known as "bulldozers," they are excellent diggers that create deep burrows to stay cool.
• Lifespan: These tortoises can live for more than 70 years

There are these funny seats with the big bottoms. I have photographed these before, but as Cliff was with me, I posed for some photographs while sitting in one.

While I had walked past here on three previous occasions, this had not caught my photographic eye. The rear door door to this bar has a cut-out the shape of a pepsi bottle with wooden stairs leading upwards. I am unclear as to the extent the staining of the steps vaires or if it is simply down to the light, but I like the effect.
