Thanks for the info folks...Yeah, that Green Tortoise Bus was a bummer IMO, because the crowd at the Hot Springs area immediately became about 50 people. A bit too crowded for me. I haven't been there since. Actually, it was funny...a whole bus load of young European tourists, and THEY were just about the only people that kept their swimming suits on. So much for the cliche that Americans are the prudes! Well, I'll have to get back soon. Thanks again for the info!
