+ After culture absortion days, relaxing massages and lot of walking and trekking around, nothing better than few days at the beach in a very slow-life fisher's village called Amed. There, the people live at really low pace and since they don`t have much to do during the day they have a lot of time to chat with the few tourists who show up over there :) Oh yes, they love to talk to you! :)
+ Amed is also the place where we met our old good friend "Kevin the belgue" (others may know him as "Kevan"- with the proper frenchy accent), who came from as far as Manila to meet us. I am not sure but some 50h he spent traveling (plane, train, ferry and bus) to reach this remote village which seems to be at the edge of the world. After fighting with computers which hardly knew what internet is, we managed to communicate with each other so that he could find where we were.
The encounter
Our awesome room: like for the royal kings
Check our the bathroom! this is the typical bathroom in traditional Balinese house. It is outdoors!
+ Amed offers fantastic opportunities for snorkeling and diving. Dani dove and Kinga snorkeled at a wreck US army cargo which was torpedoed by a Japanese submarine during the WW II. Really mysterios under water. The Coral reef is amazing and very colorful and it is just 10 metres from the shore!
+ The life in the sleepy town of Amed is slow, so after spending much of our time snorkeling, playing cards and drinking Arak Attack (rice wine mixe with honey and lemon) we decided to bike around to visit some water temples and the nature around the island. It is just simple beautiful! Check it out!
((P.S.: There are more nice pictures but those are at Kevin's Camara.... Kevin, we are still waiting for them! ))
The cost line: the beach has white and black fine volcanic sand
