Hi, we have not long since returned with our 2 kids ( 6 and 2) and it was great. We did have an incident of illness with our 6 year old, but we took her to BIMC after 24hrs and they were great and gave her mecications etc. Take all the precautions, a medical kit inc Aqua Ear and Gastrolite. Aquim handwash a must. we used it constantly esp after bathroom visits and before eating.
Research on here the best places to eat and where the best toliets are.
Yakult everyday is good and its really cheap to buy over there, i think 5000rp for 5. Take sunscreen and a good mossie repellent and reapply often. we took 2 bottles of Rid and ran out. You can buy some there but im not sure its as strong as Rid.
Make sure they drink heaps of water throughout the day as when our eldest got ill, the day before she hardly drank anything and even though it was an overcast day i think she got very dehydrated.
Your kids will love it. they will get alot of attention from the balinese and as long as you relax and go with the flow you will have a great time!!! have fun Cheers GG:)
