The Boiling Sulfur Pools of Furnas

On we drove and back to the hot springs we had visited with the kids in Furnas. This time we stopped, not to swim in hot waters but to see the boiling, smoking hot springs in town and tried not to breath in the sulphur smells. We did have a late lunch here but not eat the famous stews that cook for 5 hours in the hot springs. The smell was a bit overpowering so we headed home. It was a great day.

Even driving at 5 km/hour we were so afraid that our rented car would have a flat tire or get stuck or hit a wall. It was brutal and they go down this lanes as fast as possible. Argh! We only did a section of the route and as soon as we could, we headed home. This time for real!Lue lisää
