We got back 2 weeks ago after taking our 9 month old.
We were so very very careful - however we went to one of the restaurants up at the volcano (Kintamani) and the staff took him to play whilst we eat. I said "no food no water" to them which they understood. Unfortunately them gave a bit of fruit to play with which was promptly licked and put in the mouth. I guess it had been washed with the local water.
8 hours later severe runny tummy, high temp and vomiting. Wouldn't eat or drink anything - not good in the heat. Rushed off to the doctor (who was very good) and diagnosed amebio something or other (Bali Belly) and put him on Antibiotics (Flagyl) which took 5 days to really clear it up.
You can never be too careful with the young ones!
