Mount Taal - Crater Rim
Locals have built a strip of shelters at the crater rim and sell refreshments such as coconuts, fruit and bottled water.

On the way up, most of the rubbish was within about 100m of here, starting at about the same time as the 'please don't litter' signs!

Comment on Mount Taal - Crater Rim
GOM. Only partially domesticated. Married to Elaine. Seperately they have five kids, all now adults - or at least maintaining the pretence. Doug hopes to tread lightly on at least a little bit of every continent, and only has one left to visit. Elaine wants to shop in every major shopping centre in the world, and is still well short of the mark.
