It is always a risk taking cash on holiday or anywhere.
We split the AU cash between two of us so if one lot goes missing we would only lose half.
Keep 2 small amounts for airports etc seperate so you dont show anybody the bigger amounts.
You only need carry it from home to your hotel in Bali,hotel will have a safe at reception or a room safe.
Pay for your room when you arrive and just get an account when you leave for extras.
last time I couldnt do this as hotel wanted payment in Rup and the street exchange was a lot better than the hotel,so i paid first thing next morning.
When you have a large amount of cash on you,you become more awhare that you have it,so less inclined to loose it or forget about it.
