A travel journal to Bali by Kez
Quote: So much has been written about the magic of lush & beautiful Bali but most visitors don't really get to see past the hustle and bustle of the Kuta/Legian tourist strip and may wonder what all the fuss is about! With Ganung Agung constantly in the the background it is a beautiful piece of the world.
Overview
The diving off Tulamben also rivals anything we have seen on Cozumel and other places.
Then there are the little hideaways where you can relax and unwind till your heart's content.
Make sure you have a spare camera or have yours serviced before you leave home. The sudden change in humidity can play havoc with them. Ours decided to pack it in at the most photogenic section. We then had to backtrack a couple of hours to Chandi Dasa to find a store that sold the throwaway ones. Very bad timing, indeed.
Hotel
It is hard to find the words to descibe this idyllic little hideaway tucked away outside of Amed.
Beautiful thatched roof bungalows that feature four poster beds with mosquito nets, open air sandstone bathrooms, lofts, spacious balconies overlooking the garden or pool - heaven! Then the little touches like waking up and having a thermos of hot coffee and tea delivered unbeckoned to your balcony each morning. The open air restaurant overlooks the pool and then the beach, great food. Snorkelling equipment is available for hire and you can snorkel off the beach or keep the locals employed and hire a boat and sail around the next corner for...you guessed it the same thing!
