Was it a mistake coming to Amed? Bali.

Today we travel from Ubud to Amed on the north eastern coast of Bali by bus.

At the bus office I meet I driver with a sore back, and Mary-Anne who is a seventy five year-old travel on her way to Munduk. I ask Mary-Anne what some of the challenges are for her as an older traveler.

Along the way are stopped on the road because of people felling coconuts onto the road, but we make very good time to Amed with the journey taking only just over two and a half hours.

I stop at a restaurant once we arrive to locate my guesthouse and work out how to get via the eateries wifi. Taking lunch while I'm there I'm reminded that most of the time local street side food or simple warung food is much tastier than what is often offered from tourist restaurants.

All in all a quick hassle-free trip from Ubud to Amed.
