I suggest Belinda is do not to carry a handbag but only a secure backpack & keep your money in a hard to get at spot.Never carry around any credit or debit cards or anything more than $100 at any time.Unfortunately my daughter's best friend didn't listen to my advice & was walking around at night with the new handbag she had bought in Bali.
As her & my my daughter were talking to some friends in Poppies 2 some A hole came by on a motor bike & as quick as a flash her purse was gone with the a hell of a lot more than $100 & her debit card which was very quickly cleared out & only had the sum of $3.98 left in it.
I am sure everything will be fine for you but just use common sense.
