Try to go to amed for couple days. I'm sure it will makes you more excited about bali living. While you stay in shangrila you should try east bali bike tour. Try to contact this email. east bali bike tour at gmail dot com.
East Bali Bike Tours is a new enterprise by 2 very enterprising and very entertaining, young men from the Amed area.
On my recent visit, they used me as a guinea pig, to test out one of their routes.
It was one of my most favourite days in Bali.
Their concept is " From the mountain to the ocean" They drive you and the bikes up into the foothills of Mount Agung.
You then cycle through spectacular scenery, on unspoilt roads with little or no traffic until you reach the sea!
We went through rice fields and small villages, past ancient temples and forests
We cycled 25kms, mostly downhill
We ended at Pasir Putih, the secret white sand beach near Bugbug, where we had a swim and delicious food in one of the beachside warungs.
They then loaded up the cars and drove us back to our hotel in Amed.
Fantastic day
They have several routes to choose from, some longer than others.
New mountain bikes and helmets
We were accompanied by a guide and a car
Highly reccomended
