Laurdag 5. april arrangerte Statoil fellestur til øya OEDO som ligg rett utanfor Geoje. Det var litt kjølig denne dagen, men regnbyene som var meldt kom heldigvis ikkje. Me tok båt frå Gujora havn, og båtturen tok ca 20-30 minutt. Når ein går iland på øya har ein 90 minutter på seg å gå runden i hagen, før båten tek deg tilbake til fastlandet.
"Oedo-Botania is a marine botanical garden located in Hallyeo Maritime National
Park, which has a beautiful view of the crystal blue South Sea and surrounding
landscape. It is 4 kilometers away from Geojedo Island. About 20 minutes by ship
from Gujora Port, past Naedo Island lies the European-like Oedo Island. In 1969,
Lee Chang-ho first came to this island to escape from the wind and waves as he
was fishing. He and his wife created this breathtaking landscape with all the
care for 30 years.
In April, the island is covered with a plethora of flowers. The Venus Garden displays twelve sculptures and a western-style garden. At Paradise Lounge, one can enjoy the sunshine and the sea while drinking beverages. Camellias and various kinds of rare flowers from all over the world can be found in Oedo. When coming down the 'Stairway to Heaven,' visitors can view the beautiful garden and the ocean in the background. Magnificent terrace landscaping line both sides of the stairway. Oedo Paradise Island is without a doubt, a true paradise."
