Amed

We left Ubud via shuttle bus to go to the eastern coast of Bali. Our shuttle took us through gorgeous country, rice fields, mountains and beaches.

Once in the Amed area we found accommodations in a small fishing village on the beach, Jemeluk. Bali is chock full of beaches to stay at, and we finally decided on this area because it seemed less popular and more relaxed than most spots. We were very satisfied with our choice - the village was tiny, there were hardly any other people, and the seafood was excellent (especially the barracuda).

Probably the main attraction of Amed was the snorkeling. Nissa had never been before, and it was a perfect first experience for her. The coral was so close to the beach that I actually cut my foot pretty badly the first time I tried swimming out without a mask. And the varieties and colors of the fish was amazing. For two days we did basically nothing other than snorkel, eat, take naps, and read, but in the end it didn't seem long enough, and we were a little hesitant to leave.
