Hi,
Thanks to everyone who has answered my questions, I am really excited about going. I leave in 10 days and counting!!!
Everyone seems to have varying opinions about Malaria tabs. My doctor has told me it is not much of a risk. I am staying in Legian and Ubud and after paying out HEAPS for all the other injections, I was not going to bother with Malaria tabs. Now I'm not sure.
Has anyone gone and not taken the tabs and not got the disease?
In Aust. I don't get bitten much by mozzies (must be my bad blood), and am taking tropical spray, I'm hoping this will be enough. I am planning to travel over most of the island, so am starting to wonder if I should not take the risk and just buy the tabs.
Any advise would be great.
Also, I am travelling on my own, so anyone who wants to catch up for a drink between 17th - 21st (Legian Jayakarta) and 22nd - 26th (Ubud Ananda) let me know.
