hi Tony,
i know the terroist attacks do frighten you but it could happen anywhere. As for security in bali it is everywhere. They have security out the front of hotels- they even put a mirror thing under cars and taxis that enter the hotel.
As for drinking the water- no you dont drink there water but you can buy it everywhere. Also its a good idea to clean your teeth with bottled water.
As far as crime i am not sure i have never noticed anything in fact i feel very safe in bali. That is night and day!
Its a great idea to take raspberry juice with you and have a swig each morning this is a common thing people talk about on the bali travel forum so have a look at the previous comments.
Bali is a fantastic holiday destination and the people are just beautiful. When you first get there you will feel a little overwhelmed by the people but within a day or two you will understand them and just love em!
So glad you are going - so please dont be worried you will have a ball and when you get home you will be saving for your next trip back!!! You will be addicted like the rest of us.
Have a great time
