And it was no drama.
My only suggestion is NOT to plan too much.
We did one thing a day, usually worked it after the daytime sleep in the afternoon and tied it in with early dinner when it was cooler.
This was our FAMILY holiday so we didn't find the need to get babysitters in etc though at the restaurants the staff will zip past and take bub off your hands if you like, this happened everytime and our girls loved the attention. The Balinese love kids.
Take it easy and go with the flow.
We spent a lot of time in the pool hence this wore the kids out. They slept very well.
Our kids vax are up to date so no need to worry if your are the same. Take mozzie spray.
Just be vigilent in the shower re drinking the water etc.
We stayed in a Villa so had our own kitchen for sterilizing etc. I bought everything I needed for this in Bali at the supermarket, nappies too.
Take your own iceypoles as the ones I found in the supermarket were really sickly sweet but did the job.
I took some food for Miss 1 but the supermarkets have all that you need and the restaurants accomodate for kids really well. Just ask.
I took a few packs of popcorn that you chuck in the microwave for Miss 4 to snack on, very handy.
Relax and enjoy.
