Day 52: Tourist mecca
This morning, we bid farewell to our relaxing island life (for now). We said our goodbyes to our bungalow family and got a horse and carriage (a different one this time) to take us to the harbour. No mishaps with this one – thankfully! We hopped on our boat and went back to Amed to catch our ride to our hotel near the airport. Unfortunately, a little communication mishap caused us not to have a ride, so we had to go hunting for another one, which we eventually found, and made our way to Kuta – the tourist mecca of Bali.
On the way, our driver took us to a small local restaurant (a road stop for the locals), where we had a truly authentic meal experience with amazing food, and then continued on to Kuta. When we arrived, we were SO thankful we hadn’t stayed there at any point during our trip. It was so touristy (much worse than Ubud) and didn’t even feel like we were in Bali. Disaster averted! We walked around, grabbed a quick dinner, and went back to our hotel to sleep. Very early flight tomorrow!
