Hi all,having just returned from a 5 night stay I feel I must give warning about the high incidence of purse and bag theft along Legian St in Kuta nightclub district. Please be vigilant with your purses. It happened to me last Tuesday night within the mini-mart next to Baretta Cafe at around 9.30pm. First time ever having been shortchanged at the money-changers and ripped off by stall holders etc in the past, this is Bali and you learn to accept it.
Lots of Viagra and vials of white stuff are being offered on the streets so be warned!! We are in our early 50's...............why would they offer it to us? Watch for distraction and ladies, keep your handbag close (men too!)..............I thought I did but it still disappeared from under my nose.
Oh well, guess they needed it more than I did.
Still won't stop us from going back again in September though.lol
Cheers and take extra care people.
