It turns out that central Geoje city was the site of massive POW camps during the Korean War. The museum of sorts they've build up the mountain a ways is impressive and I always enjoy visiting notable sites from the Korean War.
It was so foggy the day we headed out to Waydo Island that we really didn't see the water the entire trip, except for the water right off the edge of the boat on the way there and the way back. Still, the botanical garden they built there was beautiful...
