Our journey begins everyday.

Everyday brings a new adventure. We don't have to look for it, we only have to look.

Amed - What a dive...

These are pictures of a distillery that produces a local brew called Arak.  It is derived from the palm tree. Our friend Lash took Rhonda to this spot off the road. Notice the aseptic conditions in which it is produced.  


The ``chief of operations`at the facility where Rhonda and our scuba friend, Lash, went to buy some Arak.  She was clearly the boss. The boys say it tastes nasty`!


These are both of my brother and I and with our dive teacher.

Our funky dive instructor teaching us how to do a pre dive check.

The snorkeling in Amed was the best we have had so far. To make it even more amazing a world class reef was about 10 metres into the water in front of our hotel. We went to Amed with the intention of staying 2 or 3 days but ended up staying about 6. For 2 reasons, the more obvious one was that my brother and I took a diving course and are now PADI certified, we can dive anywhere in the world with a guide as long as we don't go deeper than 12 meters. Before the diving course my whole family took an intro course and we were able to do 2 dives. To top it off our sort of funky dive instructor brought the whole family to the USS Liberty wreck (for more http://www.bidp-balidiving.com/eng/location-tulamben-liberty-wreck/index.html) The other reason was because the amazing diving with tons of interesting fish.
