Great Pools Of Fire

---

Day 95 (Friday 24/07/09, NJJ)
Had a lie in until 10am. Around 2pm we drove in to the city to the Polynesian Spa for some hot mineral bathing. We used the 'Adult and Priest Pools', a complex of seven pools of thermal mineral waters. The pools were of varying temperatures between 38 and 42 degrees centigrade. 3 of them had alkaline waters (good for the skin) and 4 had acidic waters (good for aches and pains). All of the pools are outdoors and even though we had a little rain it added to the experience so we spent 2 hours there. Jamie nearly fainted at one point which he's never experienced but he was OK within a short time. Back at camp ad pasta for dinner. Phoned Joanie and she said John is in hospital, not too worried though as Joan wouldn't have been in work if there was anything to worry about.
