Bitter Springs (by Kath)

Picture a tropical forest path meandering through palms to a crystal clear pool of water. The water is lovely and warm being fed from a thermal spring. You are floating slowly down stream with the current, past flowering water lillieys under palms and along side mossy banks.

The water is clear, the sand at the bottom a pure white and the sky above a deep blue - better than any mineral springs spa. That was our experience today and the fact that we shared the experience with 6 kids and grey nomads detracted from it only slightly!
