I'm really excited that we'll be in Bali for Nyepi. Can't wait to experience it. But since we will only have a fridge in our room(with 2 kids that never stop eating), I'm concerned over the fact that we might not be able to get meals even in the hotel restaurant. I've heard from people who have been stuck in their rooms last year and the year before with some pineapples and papayas, nothing else(maybe they're playing it up a bit?). Personally, I'm looking forward to it but I know my kids will be whining up a storm if they aren't tossed a bone every hour. Checked the archives but didn't find much detail on these specific questions. I assume you're allowed to use the hotel facilities? What about pools, etc? In all seriousness, am I going to have to take some candles, is the electricity going to be shut off?
Just want to be prepared :-)
