I Think We Found Heaven! Amed, Bali Northeast Corner of Island

We got to our hotel last night after a long motorbike ride through the country side. Very nice villa right on the beach for $10 per night and that includes a pool and two breakfasts are included. You do have to put up with the lizards but i have yet to see a place that didnt have lizards! After check in the bungelow workers offered a massage and after a long scooter ride we couldnt pass it up. Was $5 for a one hour massage. We then went to a club with live music. WE ARE WAY OUT IN THE STICKS! Let me tell you....it was awesome! The band played cover songs of the American classics...Eagles...Leonard Skinner...ETC. The problem is he doesnt know English very good so he would just make the sounds like they sound in the song. Hillarious! he was perfectly on beat and sounded remarkably good but dont try to understand what hes saying. We also met a man yesterday that would take us snorkling out of his "junk"(boat) the whole day. He would take us to all the good spots etc. for $10 for the entire day so we did it. It was absolutely the highlight thus far. I expected some fish and some color and I literally felt like I was inside a salt water fish tank the entire time everywhere I looked. We saw hundreds of different fish including a Morey Eel and some 100-150 pound parrot fish. INSANE!!! All this within 500 meters of the shore...who knew. I had him take me to the shore to buy a underwater camera to take some pictures of it because i just couldnt get over it. Eric got another massage from two ladies on the beach. Both of them massaging at the same time for $6 for the hour...sorry i cant get over the costs here! Dont have alot of plan for the rest of today. Its midday now and VERY HOT today. Plus i got a little burnt in the water so i think its time to take it easy. Tomorrow we may go snorkle at the Liberty which is a US Warship that sunk near here. Might have to give up trying surfing because of the amazing snorkling! keep the comments coming...later..Rob
