Bali Amed, Indonesia, Feb09

Amed is a little fishermen village on the North coast of Bali. But when I say little, it's little! So little actually that none of the guide mention it and we don't actually know what we went to do there! Bon, I exaggerate a little, we heard through the grapevine that the place was lovely and preserved and the black volcanic sand beach and the diving was worth the detour.

We stopped on the way at the water palace, a palace built by a king to celebrate... the water! Emily and I had a little plung in the holy swimming pool although it was raining and Indonesians were washing their hair in the basin nearby and there was a toothbrush at the bottom of the swimming pool (bah yes, we had to didn't we? It was holy!)

I doubt the rest of the set will be uploaded tonight but, in a word, Amed was lovely but under the rain, there wasn't much to do so we stayed in the bungalow and played cards and when we went for lunch outside the following day thinking we would have a little rest from the rain, the rain caught us and so hard that some rivers were going across the village! Good fun though! :)
