Louise Alderson said... We arrived mid afternoon and explored the museum which tells the events of the night when the volcanos erupted. It brings it alive by certain people who lived their and their actions. By following a trail you go outside and see the effects. Hidden gem is the walk down to the waterfall. Steep steps but definitely worth the effort. Tea room and shop was closed when we got back sadly. Large car park. Great stop. Recommended.

Interesting stop
