A tale of 2 hot springs

In Bali, Carol and I went to hot springs at Lake Batur which were very clean, well maintained, busy and expensive. These hot springs at Hakata Lejja were the complete opposite but beautiful in their own way. The tiles were cracked and missing. The footpaths were rough and broken. Only 1 pool had water. But they were set in the best rainforest I'd seen in Sulawesi.
And I was the only one there.
You could even see the actual springs with the hot water coming out. It was very pleasant.
The road getting there was abysmal but you could see there was some work being done to improve it. There were also some new pools being built so I'm sure it will one day be a big tourist siteRead more
