He quickly crosses the hot river,
washes his limbs and is flirting.

There is no custom of soaking in hot water in the village,
and it seems that they bring hot water
home and use it for cooking.

Children who rarely wash their bodies with hot water.

I feel a warm feeling on my hot spring trip after a long absence.

Get down here. A river is flowing there with steam.
"Is this a hot spring?" Is there about 70 degrees Celsius?

Still, the children seem to be happy to put their hands on one after another.

There is nothing like a building in Kawahara.

 I don't think I can take a bath here.

The other river over there seems to be the right temperature.

Run at a tremendous speed at the foot of Mt. Yasur.

Good condition, good condition,
cross the shallows and go through the bush.

Jungle Adventure opens the ranch gate to another's village.

In the village, the guide will take the lead and guide the car.

The hot spring resort that finally arrived?

"Help" to us I said, "David, let's help them together."

Immediately take out the rope and attach it to our car.

People who spare no effort in cooperating while dyeing their hands in mud.

As expected, the 4WD engine is strong.

Immediately the wheels that were spinning came out.

A French parent and child asked for a handshake and looked happy with "Mercy".

I don't know what will pop out along the way.

Cows, goats, piglets, chickens, horses and birds
block the way.

This time there are a lot of people
in the middle of the road.

The cause was immediately understood.

The wheels are slipping in the muddy rent-a-car.

I can't go either with this.

His son Delt (2 years old) boarded the passenger seat.

Before I knew it, four children from the village were piggybacking on the truck bed.

They feel like having a picnic when they hear that they are hot springs.

There are many muddy roads on rough roads, and it is difficult for even a skilled driver to handle 4-speed gears.

「He asks "hot springs" and David asks,
"Can I take my child?"

I answered "OK".

His house is a village on the outskirts of the road.

The second wife kneads flour from early afternoon and prepares dinner.

A family of eight with a one-month-old baby in the smoking hut.

Hot springs on Tanna Island?
Of course, since the volcano is erupting,
I searched the map and found that there was a hot spring mark at the eastern end.

To the east of Mount Yasur.

The driver is "David" (42) at the hotel next door.

He is a small but harsh-looking Tanna.

He speaks loudly anyway.

The hot springs just to see are also fun. Still, the bathing fee is 500 VT (400 yen) This is my first experience with a hot spring that I just touched.

From the 4WD carrier, cheers and waving to the passers-by.

The simple personality and ethnic customs can be heard little by little in the footsteps of civilized society.
