After the morning dive in Amed, we took the car to Lovina with a few stop along the way. There was nothing especially wonderful to stop for apart from a few black sand beaches. It's always good to stop whenever you want to, just for a quick dip and carry on driving feeling refreshed!!!
Actually that day we didn't do much else!!! Sorry... well apart from some more crazy driving!!
We had by then realised that the signs for junctions were generaly on a post about 10 m before the junction but most of the time hidden by overgrown vegetation!!! We though they would be a bit before that so it might be why we missed a few turns to start with but then there was definetely more junctions in reality than on the map!!
Our tactic then became whenever not sure ask!!! We asked sooooo many times!!!
Here is how it goes:
"Permisi?.... Here, Amed???? Lovina?? Ya ya!!!!.... Kiri???..... Kana??? Yaya!!!! Okay!!! Terima Kasih!!!! Selamat Pargi!!..... "
And then we drove off trying to remember the directions.
It worked pretty well, although once when we asked for a petrol station the guy told us that it was in 300 kms instead of 300 m! it was a good thing that we still tried!!
