After the park we were dropped off at the " Clear Cafe". I sort of felt out of place with all the California dread locked kids and other healthy young backpackers. But the food and frozen fruit drinks were great but probably TOO healthy for my preservative/additive/GMO/sugar filled body. I know I should start eating better at home, but 45 minutes cooking a healthy meal for one person seems so inefficient. Oh well, maybe I will be more motivated once the "cleansing" is all finished.
We left the cafe for shopping. We carefully looked at the Ubud map and figured we could easily walk to the meeting place for dinner. So 4 do us set off for an afternoon of shopping - 10 minutes later Margie and I had lost Maria and Darrell, then we got lost (but we didn't know it yet). Ignorance turned out to be bliss. We found almost everything we were looking for, bargained well for foreigners, and found a foot massage place. We continued walking but when we reached a statue we knew wasn't in the right direction - we found a nice taxi driver, bargained some more and got to the Bridges restaurant with 10 minutes to spare. After another excellent meal (with great presentation) our sweat soaked bodies climbed into the Floating Leaf van for our 30 min ride back. We both jumped into the pool and then played Candy Crush because the internet was down.
