been here almost one month now, and def more ozzies here now ! which is great , we at MBR AND MUST BE 95% heaps arrived xmas day onwards.
the feeling is safe ! just keeping a eye out for any "dodgy " situations, but on the whole feel very safe.
We was sitting in bali bagia restaurant maybe 2 wks ago and did actually see 4 police walk by with machine guns ! kuta square as police van there permanently.
Balinese so rateful we come back poor souls are so worried ! we try to re assure them that eventually the ozzies all be back.
wather Hot few heavy downpours, but mostly evening, food good a ever and bintangs still as COLD.
Afer a glorious month , feel very reluctant to go home on monday ugh !
we hghly recomend mbr, bali rani and gria santrian sanurrrr. all have been great friendly, clean, and good brekkys.(what more could you want) .
If you feel nervous about bali ! we have felt so safe, lots of police and security everywhere, come on over they desperately need us .
