Snorkeling in Bali

As we boarded the ferry directly after hiking the Kawah Ijen volcano, still going on 4 hrs. of sleep in 48 hours., we were sweaty, tired and desperately ready for relaxation.  Bali was calling our name and we were ready for it.

After a full days of sleep, our first stop was to snorkel at a Menjangan Island, part of the Bali Barat National Park.  We went for a full day of snorkeling with a boat of about 8 people.  It was my first snorkeling experience and I'd lie if I didn't say I was hesitant to swimming with tons of fish... but that quickly surpassed and I really didn't think twice about it.  I had taken 3 photos of me and of course in one of them, the fish was trying to steal my spotlight! Totally photo bombing my photo! Landon and I were laughing about that for awhile, we didn't remember that happening and what are the chances of that? haha
Anyways, we put the camera back on the boat and enjoyed our experience, there were TONS of fish.  An older couple we were with said they had snorkeled about everywhere on the earth and this was ranked 2nd to Zanzibar being 1st, so I took their word on it and tried to soak everything in.

The rest of the photos are of Amed, we traveled from the west coast of Bali to the very eastern tip of Bali, all in a 4 hour drive.  By this time I was completely sick from the lack of sleeping and food, so Landon surprised me we a beautiful little bungalow all to ourselves, I slept my life away and indulged in the spas nearby.  We took a scooter ride on the coast for our last day there, stopped by lots of beaches, and snorkeled right off the shore.
