Kerrie,
Thanks for reading my Jimbaran journal. I had forgotten about the bomb, some two years ago, was it? Don't know ifthat was the reason why it was so very quiet. As a matter of fact it was quiet in Lovina, Ubud, Kuta and other places we went.
I agree Amed is far nicer,very quiet there too. I have almost finished my Amed report will publish it when back from a short trip to Ireland.

I must say, that boat was for me insipration. Small village, the life goes with his own way...and suddenly this small unusual boat on the bank of the river...
Thank for Your comment.
Have a nice day!

Hi Kerrie,
Yes, I am back again. Thousands of photos to sort out and lots of reports to write. HK was absolutely fantastic and I was glad we stayed there for 9 days so that we could see some of the less visited parts.
We also enjoyed our two weeks in Amed and another two weeks travelling in Bali.

Hi Kerrie
Congratulations. I always enjoy your reports but somehow I missed this one. I was rather preoccupied in April. Anyway, thank goodness for the award - that drew my attention to it now!
Cheers

I was intrigued about your hotel; I remember seeing the discussion about this place in the forum, but I really didn't expect it to be that good - it seemed nice. And the view from these big windows must have been awesome?
thank you for the nice entry in my guest book. The thing is, that I was kind of hoping to get a adventure and relaxing holiday in one pack. But right now I do feel not on holiday at all, since there are so many things one has to take care of. Different to Thailand, Australia or similar. In OZ everything is so layed back. Right now I am collecting parking tickets. I went twice to OZ and never ever got a ticket!! So if you do want to see the beach in California, you better bring the money with you.. plenty of it!
I was even thinking of taking a flight to Melbourne from SF, for 14 days. But hey.. I'll give it a chance in Cal. I got a car till Apr 10th I already payed for and maybe it is just me. Maybe a typical german thing *complaining all the time* :-) So... yeah I give it a chance and if it turnes out bad I can say... been there, done that! I hope the coast line to SD will give me a chance to relax for a few days on the beach.

Kerrie,
Thanks for the feedback. I just wanted to make sure that we left enough time and it sounds like a day will work.
Tikal is what inspired this trip! It too is left with much jungle overgrowth. I have a picture of the stairs/ladders up to the top of one pyramid that shows gnarled roots digging into the structure. We climbed up at 4:30 in the morning to watch the sunrise from the top and literally saw the jungle awaken. I love that feel - it really takes you back in time!
