We left gorgeous Alam Indah Hotel at 10am, with our pre-arranged car and driver, to go to Amed.
On the way we stopped at Tirta Gangga (Water Palace) for a look-see. Loved the ‘Myst’ like stepping stones in one of the pools 🙂
We checked into our lovely hotel Santai Bali, got settled, took a dip in the pool and went for a walk before dinner. The area referred to as Amed is actually a string of about 10 villages on the east coast of Bali. Development for tourism didn’t start in earnest until about 2000. It is becoming a draw card for snorkeling and diving and the pace is slow. Very pleasant.

This morning we rented snorkeling gear for a few hours: the beach and reef are literally just in front of our hotel, so had to be done. Later today Caroline enjoyed a 3-hour spa treatment (massage, facial and reiki) – for a price that would hardly buy you 45mins of one of these in the US.

What did we do today…. mmmmm….. let me think….. we got up, had breakfast, read, went for a dip in the pool, read, pool,…. read some more…. and a walk before dinner. Totally relaxing day.
