The humidity is quite bad in March. We were in Bali March this year and will also be there or two weeks from 26 March 05. If you wear glasses, beware of them fogging up immediately you get off the plane. Video camera fogged up at breakfast time as it is so hot. Having said that you will get used to it and really enjoy Bali. Drink heaps is the secret and sit in the sauna at your local swim centre to get used to it before going. We are also 40's, but have not resorted to "nanna naps" in the middle of the day. We tend to hang out around the pool or swim in the beach, and then head back to air conditioned room for a drink and a cool off for half an hour or so. Sorry to disappoint you but there will be no cool evening air!! Air-conditioner works all night! We usually go out for an evening meal and then head to pool about 10 or 11pm for a cool off before bed. We will be staying at Bali Hilton Nusa Dua for 8 nights, villa Gajah for 2 nights and then Jayakarta Legian for 3 nights.
This wasn't meant to freak you out - I love Bali, and the heat and humidity is just part of the great package.
