Posted by Jugurtha on Sunday, 19. April 2009 at 17:50 Bali Time:

Only a couple of weeks until we leave for the SYD - Bali flight.

2 adults, our daughter (23 months) and son (7 months).
Packing: 1 x maclaren stroller; 1 x umbrella stroller; 1 x baby bjorn; 1 x portacot with insect net (older child will sleep in spare bed mattress...we hope); nappies; babyfood for 7 month old; that handwash (Aquigel?); wipes; bottles; kids plates and cuttlrey; 1 small booster seat.
Not packing: car seats as we have driver with 2 x car seats for most trips and we have contact details of many with one car seat if we need later. Shorter trips in taxi will be in back seat on laps/baby bjorn.

WE arrive at 9:10pm on a Monday and are being picked up to go straight to Adi Cottages UBUD. Just wondering how easy/difficult it would be to get the following in Ubud (where to get and how much to pay?):
- kettle to sterlise baby stuff;
- mosquito net for 23 month old's bed;
- sim card for our unlocked phone;
- toys (e.g. wood carved puzzles and other local or imported toys to keep kids entertained;
- tailor to make up some clothes...or is it better to wait until we get to Kuta area?


ITINERAY question:
Airport 21:10pm
--> straight to Ubud
4 nights/3days Ubud
--> day trip visiting sites along the way from Ubud to lovina
1 night Lovina
---> day trip visiting sites etc from Lovina to Jimbaran Bay
13 nights/12 days Jimbaran Bay (free accom Royal Bali Beach Club)

Just wondering if you would recommend staying in Lovina for two nights or would one night be enough. Any other tips appreciated. Is it better to do the sfari park etc from Ubud or South Bali?

Also, are there any spas/massage places where there is a kids toy/library room where the little ones can play while your getting a massage?

Thanks.
