Hi there, Ive been back in victoria for 1 week now after lovely trip to bali (my 10th). I took my mum with me it was her first time. It felt like we were going 'against all odds' after all the negative reports on tv with drug courier people and the ongoing advice not to go there re terrorist activity.
All our family were saying... its dangerous blah blah.
Anyway we had a wonderful time, and not once did we hear about drugs, drug tests, bombs etc. Heaps of security around the place and at the front of every hotel etc.
We seemed to run into quite alot of Americans too, along with europeans japanese and australian.
I can understand your girlfriend being nervous, but let her know its a wonderful place, magical actually, and the people kill you with kindness!!! Have a fantastic time!!!
bali dolphin. PS Kori is a great place for dinner, quite romantic and is situated in poppies lane 2.
