Enjoyed Lovina. Didn't go to the dolphin show as it only went for 10 minutes. The accommodation was good. Maybe 1km to the touristy part of town so an easy walk, but very humid. Phew.
Leaving Lovina, en route to Amed, we had to get through Singaraja first. It's Bali's second largest city after Denpasar and was Bali's capital city when the Dutch ruled Indonesia. No problems encountered and once we were through the road opened up. Hit 60kmh several times!
We were traveling along the road parallel to the coast and occasionally next to the coast. Where the road was next to the coast there were many warungs (stalls) selling food and drinks etc. These were common in the Legian area in the 70s so I stopped at one where we bought cakes and drinks. The girl/young woman couldn't speak English but I understand Indonesian numbers so could understand when she said 'enam blas ribu rupiah' (Rp16,000 or circa $1.60). She was selling something called 'Koala' so Heather gave her a small souvenir koala that she just happened to have leftover from Cuba.
Further along the way we saw a sign indicating a waterfall ahead. About one kilometre later we turned right and headed inland and uphill. Not long later we parked the car, paid our dua puluh ribu rupiah each (Rp20,000 or $2 each) and walked 15 minutes uphill through some beautiful vegetation to a beautiful waterfall. Quite a lot of water coming down considering that we are at the end of the dry season in Bali. Heather's photos indicate that it's called or we were at Bangli - Subaya. About half way between Singaraja and Kubu. Google takes me to a site that has it named Yeh Mempeh.
The only other matters to report are the sad passing of a chicken that insisted on remaining in the middle of the road and a passenger on a motor bike carrying a rifle. These two matters are in no way connected.
Amed is approximately the eastern most point of Bali.
