Gili Deli--Paradise in bite form

One day, for reasons beyond your current comprehension of the present reality, you might find yourself on the small Indonesian island of Gili Trawangan.  Resting your travel weary head on the volcano infused sandy beaches, you may fall into a deep slumber. Awakening several hours later, you will realize that your dream of finding the perfect deserted beach in the middle of the south pacific has come true, and that the bathtub clear blue ocean in front of your is in fact just as beautiful as any National Geographic documentary.    

However, all this reflection has left you ravenously hungry.  Do not fret, for although your Robinson Crusoe beach is far removed from the hustle and bustle of distant cities, it is not removed from fine cuisine.  You wander along the only road to find Gili Deli. Stop. This is where you will eat.  From salads to wraps to breakfast to juices. The Gili Deli provides healthy and satisfying fare that comforts the heart and soothes the soul.    

The Palateers have savored the juices and found them fresh and invigorating.  We sampled the salads and were amazed that they could attain such ripe vegetables in such a distant location.  We even ate the bagels (connoisseurs that we are) and found them particularly passable considering, we were several thousand miles away from the nearest kosher bakery.    

The best part is most likely the coffee.  Take your pick of nearly 10 different types of local brews, grown on the very hill a few miles up the road.  There is a reason why Java is a synonym for coffee.  Relax and enjoy paradise, while taking island sized bites.
