Amed

After lunch we drove two more hours toward our beach town of Amed where we were to stay for four nights that turned quickly into two nights. Amed is a very small collection hotels and warungs. It is a popular diving and snorkeling site. The sand is black and difficult to walk upon and the coastline is quite rocky. Made had a friend with a hotel called the Amed Café, so we booked a rather lovely room for a very reasonable price and set about exploring Amed. Our room had a terrific balcony that had a couch and even a four-poster bed in it! It overlooked the road and one could hear the crashing of the waves from the porch. One could also hear the teenagers making music across the street, it seems that the teenage population has little to do in this coastline community. It was funny to hear these young Indonesian teens learning to play American songs on guitars and djembe drums.
