Before you decide, CHECK
(go to "planning it")
- what immunisations you and your child will need and leave plenty of time to get these done (some jabs cannot be administered simultaneously with others
netdoctor.co.uk/travel/vaccinations.html
- if you need a visa with embassy or consulate of country you're visiting. Children with their own passports will also need their own visa, but a child included on a parent's passport does not
- that you've got comprehensive family travel insurance
- whether you will be able to get hold of the basics like nappies, sterilising pills, baby food, formula milk and whole milk; local mineral water may not be ideal for babies
- whether your GP can supply you with a course of children's antibiotics in powder form so you can mix them up if required
Bring:
- essentials to last at least a couple of days
- a travel kettle (and adaptor)
- mosquito net
- small, cardboard or battery-operated fans
- bottled drinking water when out and about
- antibacterial wipes
- long-lasting waterproof sun-protection mousse
- anti-malarial suppositories for children who are unwilling to take them orally
- long-sleeved shirts/trousers/pyjamas and lots of insect repellent - eucalyptus-based repellent which is safe for children
|
Babygoes2 recommends properties which are suitable for babies or toddlers for a variety of reasons (go to first stop). None of these properties however is 100% child-safe. All of the property descriptions are the opinion of BabyGoes2 and not the individual property owner or tour operator. Prices, while as accurate as possible, are for guidance only. Check late deals and members offers for any price reductions or offers.
Why go to Bali?
- As an increasingly popular holiday destination over the past decade, "the island of the Gods" offers high-class accommodation and facilities against a backdrop of palm trees, beautiful beaches, lush green vegetation and volcanic mountains
- Hotel accommodation is often very luxurious for a fairly reasonable price. The Balinese prize beauty, and this extends to their tourist development, for the most part
- Bali is currently a cost-conscious option, and if you travel around and book accommodation as you go, rooms are very cheap
- Lots to explore and see such as monkey forests, ancient temples, markets, dolphins (at Lovina beach in the North, staff wake you at dawn to go and watch the dolphins at sunrise in your little boat). There’s even a smoking volcano!
- Plenty of treatments on offer – beach massages, ayurvedic treatments etc.
- Mothers with young children are universally welcomed - locals will quite literally fight to give up their seats for you in most areas
- It’s very easy to travel away from the main tourist areas – local taxis (bemos) are plentiful and very cheap (but be prepared to bargain)
- As soon as you get just slightly away from the developed area, the old Balinese 'magic' is still there – temples at every turn, beautiful scenery and supremely friendly, serene people
- It’s easier than in most places to sample the ‘real Bali’, without having to stray miles away from your hotel
Things to think about:
- VERY long flight
- Can appear over-developed in parts, so be prepared to find an area that suits you.
- Stay as long as you can, because there is a lot to see, and it takes a while to fit it all in
- Exercise the usual longhaul caution with food, avoid salads etc. Food not especially inspiring
- Limited medical facilities
