Hi Leonie we have been to the hot springs 3 times now. The first time I took one look at the water and said there was no way I was going near it let alone in it. The next time though we had a Balinese explain that the water is not dirty it is the sulphur that makes it green and murky. They believe that it is very theraputical to bathe in it. There were lots of people with all sorts of ailments some just sitting on the edge and splashing the water over them. I personlly found the water to be very relaxing and I must admit that most of my aches and pains did actually seem to go away. It is a long way to go though and the stall sellers going in are really pushy.
