I have been back for over 2 weeks and the first question that most people ask me is "what was your favorite spot?" I loved many parts of India, Jaipur, the elephant sanctuary, the full moon on the Ganges River in Varanasi but my favorite 3 days was my trip to Amed a small beach town in Bali. We drove about 2 hours east to the this tiny town. Found a place called "Good Karma" with little houses built right on the beach. I could put on my snorkel and mask and swim an amazing reef right in front of the resort. At low tide, the coral came al the way to the waters edge. We could see great coral everywhere. The fish were colorful and plentiful! I swam for hours every day. One day we drove about an hour on a new road. Village children ran to wave at us as we drove by. We found a small restaurant with a covered table built over the sea. Issac ordered for us. First we had mango lassies (smoothies) and lunch took a while. On the property, was a small fresh water pond and the owner caught our fish while we sipped our lassies! Simple, delicious, FRESH fish!
Back at the Good Karma, I enjoyed my "do nothing "place. A view of the sea and a hand full of other quiet tourist, the perfect place to think, journal, meditate and do nothing. I felt that after 60 plus days of travel that I finally unwound. I have had time to heal. I fell complete with this part of my sabbatical. I have 3 more days in paradise. More later.
