The next morning we didn’t have to rush
since our pick up was only at 11 am. We ate breakfast, went to buy snacks and
get money from the ATM. The bus ride took about 2,5 hours to Amed. The scenary
was nice, local villages, rice paddies and mountains.
In Amed we instantly took
a time out and went to sit down in this restaurant with wifi (of course) and to
eat. Steve went to wander to find a place while I stayed with our bags. After a
long while he came back, we took the bags and went to see the place together.
NICE little cottage! Lovely decoration inside and out. Loved it! We got it for
200 000/ night. Reception woman was really nice and helpful. The whole
hotel area was nice and relaxed with hammocks etc. The fridge was open,
whatever you took you just wrote it down to this booklet thing and paid
everything after.
After settling down we went to our black
beach. The sea was a little rough but we still went for a swim before the sun
set behind this active volcano. Amed itself was tiny, only small local village
with only local family restaurants and couple of diving places. Our first full
day in Amed we just chilled on the beach and drank beer. The next day we went
to buy tickets to Gili Trawangan for the next day for a fast boat 225 000
each. Then Steve rented a bike and I walked while he rode to Jemeluk to
snorkel. It was only a 20-minute walk away. We took sunbeds, left our stuff and
hit the water. Even tho really close to beach we could see all sorts and colors
of fishes! Bright blue ones and all! After eating and chilling Steve left for a
bike ride but shortly after came back since the chain had broken.. He went to
return the bike and eventually didn’t have to pay anything. They hadn’t made
any paper work or anything and it wasn’t his fault. And he even got a scratch
on his belly.
Later on basically by accident we went to
this restaurant on the beach to catch the sunset. Didn’t eat there tho since it
was a little too expensive for us. We went back to eat at Warung Ole which
seemed to be full every night!
