Wet in Amed

Well we managed to pull ourselves away from the wonderful pool in Candidasa and head north to Amed on the North Eastern shore of Bali. Our nice little green car got us here quickly and cooly (good AC) and we managed to find and check into our Amed accomodations. They also have a great pool, as well as a whole menagerie of resident animals, including two rather animated ducks. After much discussion it has been decided that I am not allowed to feed them from the table in the restaurant, but Tim figures it is ok for me to take food out onto the lawn for them and feed them there. They still follow me back into the restaurant though, and hover around expectantly. We have spent the last two days doing some incredible diving. The coral here is like nothing either of us have ever seen before, the fish are prolific and amazing, and there are two shipwrecks in the area that we have gotten to explore. All in all a really incredible place. The only thing we are missing is a good internet connection, hence the lack of posts and new pictures. We are pretty sure our next location - Lovina, we go there tomorrow - will be better equipped. So until then hope everyone is well and we will talk to you soon . . .

  1. Living, begging restaurant ducks seem to be a SE Asia happening. Have vivid memories of a similar scenerio in the past but can't remember exactly where it was. Sure is a good thing that you are there Tim to keep Catherine restrained. Keep up the good work, know it can be challenging since she is so loved by ducks and other small creatures. Met any large spiders yet???
