Bali you are in my heart forever ....... Day 10 May 2017

Well it has been a while since i added to my blog.

And the ending to my wonderful holiday in Bali in May 2017.

Day 10 May 2017

We had a lovely time in Amed, where we hired a boat and driver and snorkelling gear and had 2 hours of exploring under the waters surface.

We actually saw some coral and some fish and swimming below us some more experienced divers  with full diving gear on.
This was so much fun and my friends joined me. They had never been on the small boats before or had the opportunity to go snorkelling. So to see the smiles on their faces after the had experienced the snorkelling and the boat ride was heartwarming.
We stayed at Baliku Dive Resort and had a lovely stay there. We had the pool all to ourselves and the view overlooking the bay. The rooms were very comfortable and the breakfast was amazing.
We had fun playing a game of Scrabble from the selection of board games and books, during our breakfast.
I found this part of Bali to be very laid back and refreshing, except for the motorbike going up and down the road, it was mostly very quiet and traffic pretty quiet. The beaches are either black volcanic sand or the beach we went to had coral on it.
And the friendly reminder when the sun is rising from the local roosters. Ready for another day.
This place is on my too do list on my future visits to Bali.

















Our stay in Amed was way to short and I would recommend at least 2 nights in this relaxed area of Bali. Mt Agung in the distance . Prior to any eruption or indication that in September 2017 it would start to become active.



And the return trip back to Ubud. 
On the return trip to Ubud we visited the Justice Buildings, Kerta Gosa, in Klung Klung. 
I was pleasantly surprised to learn about the history of this building and the design of the building with text and stories and rules depicted under the roof of the building. There is a museum which is well worth visiting to see some of the history of Bali. 
There was also a man painting fans, depicting some of the rules from the ceiling of the building.
