Shane is doing just fine at Nusa .
Tristan K & Vincent B are setting well at Kila . Sandra too .
Enjoyed our meals .

Haven't tried a meal at the helipad , though many times on the beach , beach club in the evenings .
Wonder if it is a " must do " ?
Trips , off menu , can always be arranged . This is Aman
We were asked where we wanted our dinner and we were certainly flipping a coin between helipad and the countryside bale. I think tons of other resorts do the usual beachside/villa-terrace dinner so wanted to try something a little different.

The helipad offers a decent seaview (which is how the set up initially was facing) but we quickly realised that Mount Agung and the valley behind is the real star here and changed views.

I may have just started a trend here where everyone visiting Amankila starts asking for the berry and duck farm visits!

FYI - they are two different farms that are a short drive from each other. Shane took us there to help us understand more about where their food comes from and as we were spending most of that day with him, just to take us out somewhere near after our initial plans (to visit the lakes and mountains) were cancelled.

Wouldn't say the farms are anything spectacular, but its a beautiful drive up there and through some small villages, and certainly interesting (for me at least)
