This afternoon I parked my motorbike outside Internet Outpost and went looking for interesting things to write about. About 500 meters down Jl. Benesari it started pouring and I was stranded without a poncho or umbrella. Waiting for about 15 minutes and taping the sound of the rain hammer down, I was hoping for some let up. Right along that section of Benesari, in the area where Tracey’s husband Dede used to hang out, is a small warung called Depot Ika. Its a surfer place and is very popular with Japanese. Depot Ika allows guests to write on the wall and high spirited diners have done plenty of that over the last couple of years.
Depot Ika’s menu is divided into: Chinese food (Tami goreng 8,000rp), Seafood (Udang 15,000rp), Indonesian food (Gado Gado 7,000rp), European food: Salads (Avocado salad 7,000rp), Soups (Cream of tomato 7,000rp), Sandwiches (Ham & cheese 5,000rp), Steaks (Sirloin 20,000rp), Spaghetti (Bolognese 8,000rp), Desserts (cut fruit 6,000rp).
I ordered a black tea and snapped a few photos of people in the area. My black tea was 3,000rp.

Hey Nick ,
This story of the pouring rain sparked a memory of you taking off down Gunung Batukaru on your motorbike wearing your poncho in the pouring rain.
Question: Did you leave your T-Shirt and Jacket at the house? I have been on a quest to find the owner of these clothes, with no luck. Back in Oz for a couple of months reading this story and it clicked- it’s Nick’s!!!!
See you in Feb
Richard
Hey Nick Thanks for keeping us informed of daily doings on the island. Love those Bali downpours always makes me feel so cozy even when I am soaked. Depot Ika is a fav spot of mine for quick and cheap food. Love the crispy noodle dish. I heading off to bush Alaska and will miss fresh food. Saving hard for my next Indo adventure. Deb
Great to hear from old friends. Depot Ika is popular with the budget surf crowd.
Tracey, I think I got your photos. I have to dig through my email pile.
