Hi just a word of caution coming from Experience.
I've been to Bali a few times now and I have to tell
you that whatever you do Don't let anyone put
Ice in your Drink, be careful with anything containing their water
and also drink bottled water only and be careful because
some of the bottled water vendors bottle them
themselves pretending they are spring water. Make sure you check the seals well to be sure they were bottled professionally by a water company and not in the back yard
of the locals who are desperate to make a rupiah. The water is bad and if you want to prevent yourself from getting ill
and having a horrible experience stay clear for their water...
Actually another thing and most people don't even think about it is
When you shower, don't even open your mouth as it
risks swallowing the water. Sorry it's scary stuff.
ANyway Good luck, Bali is a great place. You will have a blast!!!!
