I am travelling to Bali in a few weeks for the first time. We have been reading this forum and have great tips so far on things to do, see and eat!
Whilst we are very excited to go on our long awaited holiday I am a naturally cautious person and after the recent Jakarta bombing I am a little worried about our choice of hotel. We are booked to stay at the Padma hotel.
A few people I know have told me that they would not be staying there as they thought it was obvious target.
I don't want to start do/don't go arguments, just some simple advice as to whether you would be worried and we should change our hotel to something smaller and less obtrusive.
Thanks for your thoughts!
