In Reply to: Taking Children to Bali posted by kylwas on Thursday, 30. June 2005 at 20:17 Bali Time:
and just got back a week ago...I was like you...I love Bali but was very worried about my daughter getting sick...she didnt get sick and absolutely had a ball....she loved all the attention of the people and the swimming and never wanted to go back to the hotel as she always wanted to be out and about with all the people.
As for food..I took some things of my own but she hardly eat any of them, instead...I know I know its bad but she eat chicken nuggets or happy meal burger just about everyday at Mcdonalds...at other times she had cheese jaffles, steamed rice, hot bbq sate sticks, fruit juices, and toast and jam and nutella for brekkie (allergic to egg so couldnt eat the cooked brekkie) and she was fine.
If you go make sure you take some mozzie cream or spray ...we took areogard spray and she didnt like the spray as i think it made her sting a bit so cream would be better choose.
Another absolute god send was we bought a portable dvd player before we left and whenever we wanted to stay in hotel room we just played her the barbie, barney and madagascar dvds we bought there and she loved it.
Reading this makes me sound such a bad parent...McDonalds everyday and tv all the time but I thought I would rather let her have those for the 10 days then get sick and it it all worked out well
Good luck with your decision but ours was a totally great holiday!
