Today we are going up to the Hot Pools to relax. Why would we go to hot pools when it is 30C you ask? Well they are inland and the humidity is lower there and we are up in the mountains so the temp is likely more like 24 or so. Plus it is a neat drive with a neat experience at the end of the drive. We set off about 9:30 ish for a 27 km trip. The first 10 kms are pavement so we whipped right along.
When we arrived, the place was quite busy. There were probably 20 vehicles there and only 5 or 6 pools to choose from. You choose a pool and it is filled with warm water and you keep the same pool all day. It costs 60 peso's a person which is like 4 bucks. They have basic bano's there. The mens had a laundry basket with a plastic bag inside that they used for flushing. Whatever works!!! I didn't look where it went when flushed but I can only bet you could find it running down the creek a short way from the bano.
We had a good sized pool, big enough for all 8 of us. There are probably 20 different pools and they were all occupied at one time. I spent most of 3 or 4 hours we were there in the pool, while others only had a short dip. Both Kenia and I had short naps because it was so soothing in the water. We both got caught on camera with our eyes closed. Kenia was first with the nap and I followed shortly after.
After a few hours it was time to start the trek back home. Sue came with us this time and Oscar and Kenia were in the back seat. We picked up the pace a bit on the way home so it only took like 45 minutes.
The kids wanted to sit on the beach when we got home so we spent an hour or so there before ordering pizza for supper. Archie wouldn't go near the ocean when we got here but now he lets the waves sweep over him sometimes. He is so scruffy!!
There are lots of pelicans here and they make for an interesting picture sometimes.
Here are some nice sunset pictures again. I can't quit taking them.
The hot pools look like a fun place to spend a day!
