Wandering Earl Travel Email
Hey,
 
We decided to move again. 
 
We're now in the small town of Amed, situated on the northeast coast of Bali, some 3 hours from the main touristy areas of the island.
 
What's here?
 
Amed is known for its black sand beaches and beautiful sea, fresh seafood meals for around $3, in-your-face views of Bali's largest active volcano (Mt. Agung), super friendly people, excellent diving and snorkeling options and a relaxed lifestyle that is easy to embrace!
 
With the drop in accommodation prices at the moment, we landed a house right on the beach, with sea views from every room and the sound of waves accompanying us 24 hours a day.
 
Serenity now...for real.
 
If you make it to Bali and want to get away from the crowds, make sure Amed is on your list!
