The return journey from Oedo (외도, 外島) to Jangseungpo (장승포, 長承浦) took half an hour. Our ferry arrived back at Jangseungpo exactly at 3pm. The place of disembarkation wasn't at the Cruise Ferry Terminal as thought but at another ferry point some 200m away. What that meant was that I had to walk a longer distance back to the Coastal Ferry Terminal for my connecting ferry to Busan. At the back of my mind, I knew that the next ferry to Busan would leave at 4pm so I took some time to walk around the fishery port. Things which I always associate with a fishery port, like seagulls, fishing vessels and light beacons, were all there at Jangseungpo.
Geojedo (거제도, 巨濟島), where Jangseungpo and Oedo are, is the second largest island in Korea. To think that I actually spent less than half day on the island didn't quite do justice to the effort I spent to get there. But I didn't have the luxury of time and had to leave the island thinking about what I had missed. The ferry to Busan left at 4pm and I had one hour of really good sleep before the ferry arrived back at the Busan Coastal Ferry Terminal. With that, I concluded my trip to Odeo. I spent altogether 8 hours and 63,400won (~S$90) for just 1.5 hours of "paradise" at Oedo and I think it's worth it.

Back in Busan at 5pm. Buildings over at Yeongdo (영도, 影島).
