A cloudy day that does this island justice as much as the autumn leaves glistening in the sun. Ziplining into Nami was quite an adventure. The peaceful water along with the animals that live there look so beautiful. The cloudy mountains brought the air much calmness and joy. Walking around the area felt rejuvenating along the calm water and mountains. This is the place known for its Korean drama scene but to me, it is an escape from the busy city life of Seoul.
