Tiwi Springs

---

Well we went to Tiwi Hot Springs with a cast of thousands . . . . . well 15 of us in the car actually. Bit of a tight squeeze, but we made it.

The interesting thing about Tiwi Springs is that since they built the Geothermal Power Plant nearby, the plant draws all the heat leaving on Tiwi Springs now - not much help for the local tourist economy.

Got some interesting snaps anyway.

I think by now - if you open all kmls in the single instance of Google Earth - you'll see we've circled Mayon

pre-departure
This has nothing to do with the actual trip - thought I'd share a little on how folks live here. This is the lounge room where we're staying (you can see the wooden couch bottom left of pic. At night they push what little furniture there is to the side and lay out a woven mat on the bare concrete floor and that's bed for the night

Geothermal plant
This is what took the hot out of the hot spings

Big Boy
How do i know he's a boy???? I'll leave that up to you to work out

Housing estate
I thought this housing estate looked odd from the distance. once you move in here - YOU STAY

Roadside gutters
This pic is probably a little misleading. The gutter starts at the TOP of the moss - and this is not one of the deep ones. On the side of Mayon they are man deep. No warning risers or bmps to let you know you're about to fall in. I would have thought it would deter people frokm overtaking on the inside, but I've seen a few people come a cropper.
