12/23 pouring hot spring

you returned from your morning walk and the breakfast is almost ready...

 a big wok of fried kuey teow (fried rice stick) is on its way to the table. and it's delicious!!

 and you set off to the pouring hot spring and the canopy walk, it's a distance away from where you stay but manageable distance. once you're into the park, you walk your way ahead of others...

spotting the objects you want to capture... the giant fern and the national flower the hibiscus!

 it's humid and hot, but the trees create the shade for you, so all in all the short hike is bearable

 it's green as any tropical forest...

 and you arrived at the canopy station. the canopy itself is not that high but it's the fear that you need to overcome. you occasionally got jelly feet but with your determination, you're able to overcome with a little bit of excitement. but really it's not worth to come over here just for the canopy walk or pouring hot spring for that matter.

as soon as you're done with the canopy walk and get back to the hot spring area, the rain starts. it's outpouring tropical rain, pouring down hard and loud. you're thankful you had a shade and shelter just by one of the hot spring pool, so despite of the heavy rain, you're dry.  the rain last for more than half an hour...
