I suggest you talk to your doctor about injections/vacines etc rather than get advice from people with the best of intentions, but no knowledge of you or your children.

Re exchnaging money. We have visited Bali six times. The first time we exchanged money in NZ before going (very expensive). After that we simply used our credit card or regular ATM card (all main banks' cards work, but not Kiwibank yet). We used the cards at ATMs and would take out a million rupiah every day or so. There is a $6 charge, but in the context of prices in Bali, who cares.

Enjoy. Bali is magic.

Don't forget to take $US25 for each of you for entering Bali.

If you are a bit anxious about money, get a half a million rupiah from Thomas Cook before you go. This will cover your taxi to the hotel plus water (beer!) from a Circle K for when you first arrive. It will be at least 8.30pm local time, but 12.30am NZ time by the time you get to your hotel.
