we went in 2005 with our then 21 year old son Brenton (his 3rd time) and his girlfriend Amy and another young couple (Ricky 21 & Kym 24) who are my sons friends and all 3 were Bali Virgins. We all basically stayed together for meals etc but a few times they did stay out just a bit later than us and on ALL of these occassions they were ALL offered drugs. I took Ricky to the Apotic as he had an infected tooth and needed antibiotics and even in there he was offered ephidrine by the actual chemist! Had I not been with him to help him he would not have known what she was offering and my have bought it thinking it was just a Bali pharmacutical medication. So they are not always safe. So whatever you decide on please tell them not to accept anything from anyone.
