We spent three nights at the beautiful Santai Hotel outside the village of Amed, along Bali's far northeast coast (see map). Amed is building a reputation as a resort area for people who don't like the touristy resorts along the southern Bukit Peninsula. It's a wonderfully mellow place to kick back for a few days, go snorkeling, have a massage and drink cocktails by the pool.

	The swimming pool and bungalows at the Santai. Each bungalow is designed in the style of a traditional Sulawesi house -- truly Tiki heaven.		The swimming pool from the other side.
	A frangipani flower floats in the pool.		Susanne leans out the window of our bungalow.
	A boy casts his fishing line into the ocean.		Hoping for a fish at the end of the line.
	A small lizard known locally as a cecak hangs out in the interior of the lantern outside our bungalow.		Sunrise over the Bali Sea off the coast of Amed. If you look closely you can see dozens of small fishing boats along the horizon.
	A fishing boat sits idle as the sun rises off the Amed coast. The island of Lombok can be seen along the center of the horizon.		Susanne gets a massage at a pavilion on the grounds of the Santai hotel.
	Another view of our bungalow.		Andy hanging out at the pool.
	Some of the local children.
