When you first pull up to the Lava temple you might ask yourself what you've gotten into. The power restrictions at night and the short showers - is this for me? The answer is yes. On your first night when you have had a couple of drinks and you've turned the lights off at 9pm and you've lit the candles, you'll stare across the silent lava drift and (moon permitting) towards the stars and feel something. Maybe it's tipsy, maybe indigestion, maybe a moment of clarity - but it'll be something. Perhaps you'll realise it's the first silence you've heard in years. Maybe you'll realise its the first time you've looked at the stars since you're a child. But whatever that something is for you, you'll be glad you came here for it. For us it was lounging on a couch with a beer in our hand while our 1 year old slept up stairs just listening to nothing. I know all you people with one year olds out there yearn for the sound of nothing. No cars. No TV. No nothing. Just a field of Lava under a star lit sky with nothing but disregard for you. Pele has no feelings about you or your life. She doesn't care how or why you are where you are. She doesn't even know you're there. But you're glad you are regardless.
So yeah, stay here. Go to the night market on Wednesday. It's legit.
