You DO NOT want to wear thongs... we didnt do Wayans ride (which we regret sort of!) but still went from a resturant near to Kintamani where we saw no hawkers at all and none on the trip down the hill. It is all thru villages and so the people about are the "real" farmers and workers of the villages. When you go thru muddy wet rice paddy's you will want some closed in shoes and when we got lower we were riding thru the most enormous pads of elephant dung and if you had to put your feet down at the wrong moment... eww squishy between the toes... have fun... you could just wear those canvas type slip-on's that are selling everywhere now days they are light weight to pack and easy to wash.
