<&>13:00 and then voc you just don't notice it after a while it's just adjusting that initial first time eh yeah mm i can remember the first time i went it was absolutely wonderful and <.>i i think the second time i went years later it wasn't as good i think cos the waters were going down at that point you know mm cos everyone was using the water too much for home heating and <{><[>so on mm <[>heating yeah <,> but i think they controlled that didn't they mm wasn't that because of the generators or <.>th <{><[>power <.>some <[>mm mm that's right voc yeah they've stopped the locals using it only the big one can use it now <{><[>and cos all the geysers were running out of steam laughs <[>mm yeah that's right <{><[>eh they were using it all <[>mm mm mm <,,><&>3 mm <,> tut so let's see
