In Reply to: would you leave 13 & 3yo alone in room? posted by stephjoy on Thursday, 16. July 2009 at 16:18 Bali Time:
Maybe you could use a baby monitor and play music in the room (so you know monitor is working) and eat in the hotels restaurant. I wouldn't leave the children on their own without a baby monitor or two way. Or, organise room service on the balcony for the two of you while step daughter watches dvd's and the 3 year old sleeps.
Otherwise, do what everyone else does in Bali and take both kids with you each night and eat casually. The evenings are really the best time for walking, enjoying the sights and sounds and keeping cool. But you might need one of those umbrella strollers so the tot can fall asleep. It will be 11 pm before you know it!!
