Early To Rise
My son and I are early risers. For us to not be up and about by seven on normal days would be nearly impossible. On holidays it would be about 7. Normal days usually early unless we were ill.
Off to Amed we go. There were 3 Google route options to our next Airbnb. We chose the path nearest to the Ocean and hoped we would not regretted it.
Choosing to make content along the way does slow us down but we couldn’t check in until 2 pm anyways. Besides, we were in no hurry.
The Roads In Bali
There are no highways in Bali. There are no basket weaves as in many places in Indonesia. There is a toll road and lots is paid parking. So our journey took us on winding roads and through many localities. This is what makes the trip fun and exciting.
We has a scooter so we took the road less traveled in every sense. Gone were the tour busses and crazy people trying to pass. Instead we gave ourselves an extra 20 minutes and rode through the smaller roads.
Through The Villages
We passed through many smaller places and smaller villages where the roads were about two meters wide. The detour is well worth it as we turned one corner then another and came across incredible views.
What we loved here most was the scenery. But what we got to see was the simple local way of life and people smiling, waving and saying hello. These are the little things on the trip that make the road less travelled worth taking.
