had a great time. Here's a couple of things I did to try and keep him happy & healthy. Re Mosquitoes - the travel doctor said that insect repellant that contains 20% DEET was OK to use on our 17 month old toddler like Tropical Strength RID (but we only used a little bit around his neck, wrists, ankles and forehead and I sprayed his clothes with Tropical Strength RID to reduce the amount we actually put on his skin). I put him in light cotton long sleeved pants/tops in the mornings and evenings (as dengue mossies are more active in the morning/daytime). I also took Wet Ones Antibacterial Wipes and used these on his hands before he ate anything as well as a supply of my own plastic spoons/plates, which we just threw out when he'd used them. We took Milton tablets for his bath, but certainly found it easier to give him a quick shower. Bali Deli in Jl Kunti, Seminyak has a great range of imported food and baby products. Hope this helps.
