Chemka Hot Springs

Today Krista and I went to the hot springs with Ruston, one of the rehabilitation assistants at CCBRT. I guess the hot springs is a pretty popular place with the Mzungus.  We took a bus from Moshi to Boma Ng' ombe. Don't ask me how to pronounce it, because most of the trip consisted of Ruston and our taxi driver trying to teach us, but I still can't do it. Once we got to Boma Ng' ombe, we took a taxi to the springs. It took about 45 minutes and it was a very bumpy ride (the taxi even had a very flat tire by the end of the trip), but it was worth it. 

The "hot" springs were more like "warm" springs, but the water was an amazingly clear blue and the area was covered by big trees with crazy roots. There were some local boys swinging from a rope swing, and we had a chance to take a few turns too.

The gorgeous, crystal clear, blue water!

There was a little creek that you could swim down with trees surrounding it.
