What is a small child on Bali. Bali with children: the best beaches and entertainment

If you are preparing for a trip to Bali, you probably have already heard that local beaches are more suitable for surfing, rather than for a relaxed beach holiday on the chaise lounge. The location of the island is such that it is almost always exposed by the "invasion" of the waves. Balinese shores of themselves are high rocks, as if walls enclosing the wildness of the marine element. Therefore, before the trip, it is important to decide which part of the island to spend your vacation. Only in separate parts of the island there are calm beaches of Bali for swimming, which are suitable for a quiet vacation relax and calm family holiday With splashing kids. And in this article I will share the personal selection of such beaches.

Most beaches without waves are on the most southern tip of Bali - on the Bucit Peninsula. As a rule, it is here for sale batch tours In Russian travel agencies. Sometimes cheaper options offer a trip to Kuta, but this is clearly not the beach where it will be calmly swim in the sea. Therefore, first consider in detail the most the best beaches Bali for swimming in the Bukit area, and then in other areas of the island.

Nusa Beach Dua on Bali

If you reflect on a ticket to Bali, then you undoubtedly choose Nusa Dua. This is one of the most popular beaches with the best hotels on the island. The water here is turquoise, the waves are practically no, a wonderful entrance to the sea, and the sand is good. Rest in Nusa Doua will be truly relaxing.

If you are going on your own, it is not necessary to choose hotels on the first line. The beach is absolutely free and not fenced with nothing, so you can visit him not only to the guests of the nearest hotels, but also those who settled away. But, of course, to live near the sea - great pleasure, although not cheap.

I always recommend booking the hotel to see discounts and compare prices through Hotellook - a hotel search engine from the famous Aviasales brand. Sometimes you can find Bali hotels at a discount to 50%!

Perhaps the only disadvantage of this beach is that during the holidays, you can rather get quite tired of "Nontelia". Many tourists are not chosen further Nusa Dua and the surrounding area, because the impressions of Bali have rather blurred.

To not be a victim of boredom, I advise you to pay attention to day trips on the island with a Russian-speaking guide - and. Either you can independently schedule accommodation in different parts of Bali to see it from all angles and absorb his magic atmosphere. Be sure to stop for 2-3 days in Ubud and get to volcanoes near Kintamani.

Geger Bali Beach

Local distinguished the southernmost part of Nusa Dua in a separate beach called Geger, although in fact both the beach stretch in one entirely along the coastline. Accordingly, the beaches are very similar outwardly. At least the type of sand, the color of water and the absence of large waves is clearly united, and the total atmosphere on the beaches is identical.

But on Hegere less people and only a few hotels, and therefore rest here will be more quiet and not crowded. If you are tired of the fuss and a lot of people, then heger will an ideal place For vacation.

Pandava Beach on Bali (Pandawa Beach)

One of the most unusual beaches of Bali. Its distinctive feature is expressive rocks, the wall separating the Pandava from the road and the entire island. Local calls this beach Kutuh Beach. Especially it will suit those who are looking for Bali beaches for swimming with children, because Calm sea without waves, convenient entrance to the water and snow-white sand, from which various castles are so cool, pleases both a child and his parents.

If you settle down a little deep into the beach of Pandava, you can find excellent inexpensive accommodation options in the price category from 1000 rubles. On a day, you can see them on Booking.com. But if you want to live in the area with a view of the sea, then this option is offered at the luxurious villas of Pandawa Cliff Estate and Villa Karang Putih, which are on a rock. Accommodation in them is especially suitable for newlyweds and married couples.

White Sand Beach (White Sand Beach)

If you are looking for Bali Bali Beaches with white sand, this beach fully reflects its name. The sand on it is really white and soft, like flour. In general for eastern coast It is quite rare, because On the beaches next to the opposite under the legs crushes black as a soot of sand - the result of the neighborhood with the Agung volcano.

For most tourists, this beach is secret, because there is not crowded. White Sand Beach is distinguished by beauty, calmness and absent big waves. There are cafes with fresh juices and cocktails, sun loungers for rest, and you can swim in the sea with a mask, considering tropical marine animals. There are no hotels near Beach White Sand Beach.

Beach Jimbaran Bali

One of the few beaches west Bank Bali, where the sea is relatively calm. Of course, the waves are present here, but they are much less than on the neighboring Kuta, Seminyak or Legiana, as well as the bottom of good and the depth of the shore is small. Accordingly, you can calmly swim, without fearing not to grope the bottom of the bottom, and for children swimming on Jimbaran will be affordable. Although I advise you to go here, all the same with kids are already older, and not quite kids.

In Jimbaran, a fairly developed infrastructure with an abundance of restaurants and hotels for every taste. Again, Jimbaran is relatively close to all significant places And getting from here to different attractions of the island is clearly easier than from the south of Bali.

In addition, the plus is that the rest at Jimbaran is often cheaper than in Nusa Dua and other beaches of Bukin. Thanks to the long coastline, there are many hotels on any wallet. But at the same time, crowds of tourists on the beach are not particularly felt due to the fact that everything is somehow absorbed along the coast. You can always find a secluded recreation area.

As an output I note that no matter how cool, and the most beautiful beaches Bali bathing and calm holiday Are in the south of the island. Of course, there is White Sand Bech in the East and Jimbaran in the West, but it is rather an exception than, rather than general rulebecause western beaches more suitable for surfing, and east for snorkeling. Accordingly, when planning a trip, I recommend looking for hotels in the south Peninsula Bukit.

To book any hotel discount on Booking.com. Works like cachek - money is returned to the card after departure from the hotel.

Rest on Bali with children is somewhat different from recreation in many other countries of the world. The thing is that, contrary to the ideas of most tourists and snow-white beaches in the style of Bounty and a relaxing holiday, on the island of good beaches of suitable for children are not so much. Many beaches on Bali have a dark volcanic sand, and frequent tides and flows interfere with enjoying bathing due to high waves, but there are on Bali and more relaxed places.

Flight to Bali with a child

We recommend buying tickets with one short transplant or without transfers. In the flight, take a tablet with you, pumped the cartoons and games there. Take your favorite delicacies on the road. It is better to fly at night to be in place to be in place.

Bali Bali Bali Beach With Children:

The choice of the beach for recreation with children on Bali largely depends on the nature of the bottom and waves, which on this beach usually happens. There are not so many such beaches on the island, but they are.

Perhaps the best of all resorts suitable for recreation with children is Nusa Dua. Unlike most resorts, there are increasingly civilized, on beaches do not walk annoying traders, many European families with children are resting here.

Nusa Dua Beach is considered an elite beach of Bali. White sand, pure water, beautiful sun beds and umbrellas from the sun, green trimmed lawns and a large selection good hotels And the villas make it the most popular holiday destination in wealthy citizens.

Unlike most wave resorts on this beach there is practically no, as the coral reef is located near the coast, which protects the shore.

In Nusa Dua, there is all the necessary infrastructure for recreation, including golf courses, gym, spa centers and much more. The lack of a resort is a large number of Russian tourists that several spoils the atmosphere of an exotic holiday.

Another cool resort-oriented tourists. The resort is a few class hotels with a large territory on which children can play, children's pools.

The second most popular among the beaches for children on Bali is Jimbaran. There is no such European gloss here, as in Nusa Dua, and the waves more, so it is best to rest here with school children. For them there is even a children's surfshkol, in which experienced teachers will teach children the basics of this sport. The resort has a developed infrastructure with a large selection of housing.

Uluvatu is a very popular place in surfers, but during the low tide, a natural pool is formed here, the depth of which is about one and a half meters. There is no developed beach infrastructure, but there is pure sand and transparent water.

Not far from Uluwatu, there is one more popular surfers from the place of Drimland. His name is fully justified. Snow-white sand and azure water makes this beach one of the most beautiful on Bali. To swim with children here is best between tides and bets, as the rest of the time there are quite strong waves and comes the time of surfers.

This magnificent beach is not far from the village of Candidas. Its advantage consists in its remoteness from the main resorts of the island, which makes the beach very much and allows you to enjoy a relaxing rest and beauty of the local nature. The lack of the beach is that to get to him will be on the car.

Choice of housing for recreation with children

Many of those who plan independent trip On Bali with children, are interested, where it is better to live, at the hotel or rent a house or villa. There may be no definite answer to this question, so we consider the pros and cons, but what is better for you, you will define yourself.

The hotel is good in addition to staying you get also a service, but the lack of it is that there is no homely atmosphere that you could get on the villa. Any accommodation except hotels book better.

As for the money, the normal villa with modern furniture and technique can be rented about $ 150-200 per day, and if you rent long term, it will be even cheaper. In such a villa, there will be at least 2 bedrooms, and maybe 3 and 4. If you eat not one family, and for example, with your friends, then the price difference between the villa and two numbers in a good hotel will not be high. If you need a cook or other services, then this can be organized for an additional fee.

What to see?

Wood Monkey

If you have a desire to watch the life of monkeys in the wild, we advise you to go to Ubud into the monkeys forest. So there are also many others other than these animals. In addition, in this forest you will see many stone statues from Hindu mythology.

About the Indonesian island of Bali, probably heard everything. True, not everyone managed to visit everything there. And to go on this magic island with the gentlepical tropical sun, the turquoise ocean and real jungle can be different.

Someone dreams of lazily soak on the sand under the soft rust of sea waves, someone has long planned to arrange a gorgeous journey for the whole family, someone does not give peace of thought on vacation dedicated to the study ocean depths, conquering volcanic peaks or immersion with your head in the culture of distant islands, and someone simply fails to make one of the most important events in life - to go to an unforgettable romantic wedding trip.

Bali Island, where air is literally impregnated with the aroma of exotic and incredibly beautiful flowers of Frangipani temple tree and the sandalwood and is saturated with the energy of the ocean, makes it possible to find a rest here.

Tourists are available to all sorts of entertainment: In addition to the relax on the beach, you can go to the jungle, take a walk on rice terraces, in the park reptiles and birds or on the woods of monkeys, ride in elephants or to participate in a jeep safari, soaring or surfing, inspect the ancient temples.

Recreation options for themselves will find both economical tourists here and lovers of exquisite luxury. The cost of traveling to Bali (especially if it is a trip to a large company) due to the cheapest flight may not be very budget.

But there is an opportunity to save due to cheap food, purchases of all kinds of inexpensive delicacies, gifts, movements between the islands (the fare on the ferry is worth a kopeck). And in general, it may turn out that the trip to the distant island will cost to a smaller amount than the closer direction and at first glance a more budget direction.

If the cost of recreation with children in Indonesia is not an obstacle, the only thing that can be embarrassed by family tourists (especially with babies) is a long flight (approximately 15 hours from Moscow).

Where is Bali Island?

Bali is enough big Island (its width is 80 km, length - 150 km), located in the world's largest archipelago (consists of 30 big Islands, among which Lombok, Bintan, Kalimantan, Java, Papua, Sulawesi, Batam and others).

Those who are going to Indonesia for the first time, experts advise to start an acquaintance with this country from Bali, which is still (despite the growth of the popularity of other islands) remains the direction of the number one. And, of course, behind a beach and excursion rest Most families with children also go to this year-round resort.

By the way, in ancient legend, this paradise island, in which the harmony of silence closely intertwined, the kingdom of mysticism and beautiful natureOnce he chose the gods who chose him a place where they could relax and relax from the hard work of the world.

For reference:

Traditions and national features

Indonesia is a country of different religions, with extremely pious and spiritual population. This feature must be taken into account during the visit to Bali.

For example, during the Muslim holidays, you need to adhere to certain rules in clothing and behavior. And during the celebration of the "Day of Silence" for tourists, some inconveniences may arise about which it is better to know in advance. This day happens in April-May, but he falls on different dates. At this time, restaurants, cafes, banks, institutions and anyone (even tourists) cannot be worked out on the street.

And in general, Balinese is very friendly, friendly and smiling people.

Excellent climate all year round

Among russian tourists It is an opinion that it is necessary to go to Asia in the winter. But Indonesia, contrary to the established stereotype, is still more suitable for trips in the summer. From May to October - the most favorable time to travel to Bali and the best conditions for the beach holiday. And that's why.

The climatic season is conditionally divided here for two periods: April-October - Dry, November - Mart - wet. The air temperature (and the water temperature close to it) remains about the same all year round. On average, about 30 ° C, water temperature + 26-27 ° C.

Peak tourist activity on Bali - summer. At this time, there are practically no rain on the resorts and cooler than in winter. Average year of summer months + 27-28 ° C (the hottest months - July, August). And by November, the temperature rises, the humidity increases due to the arrival of storm tropical rains. In mid-January and in February, the most abundant precipitation falls out.

However, the equatorial-tropical climate, the sun and heat all year round allow you to relax on Bali in any season.

Perhaps because there are ideal conditions for everything: for a wonderful family holiday with children, for unforgettable leisure with friends, for romantic dinners, for honeymoon and wedding ceremonies. And just because Bali is unique, bright and originally. It is impressions and rest, which is impossible to forget.

Despite the fact that Bali is one of the most popular world resorts, there are many disputes about holidays here with children. Some try not to bother at all over this question, they collect suitcases and go on a journey, others carefully plan a trip, trying to take into account all the foreseen and unforeseen circumstances. Let's try to figure out whether Bali is like children's holiday And, if so, what areas should be preferred.

A visit to the Paradise Island with the child has several advantages, among which it is worth highlighting:

1. Vitamins. A huge amount of fruits are represented on Bali, which are ready to saturate the growing organism with all useful vitamins and minerals. In connection with various sanctions, to try many of them in Russia there is no possibility, therefore, on Bali in this regard, the soul rests. However, the child should be accustomed to exotic with a small portion.
2. Improvement. Good ecology, the purest air, the intimacy of the ocean allows you to strengthen the immune system. On the island you can forget what flu is, colds and other seasonal diseases.
3. Development. Staying in international teams, the child becomes more liberated, can master some new words in English and try different sports.
4. Many entertainment. Not depending on the age of your Chad, it will not be bored for a certain time. On the island there is a large number of developing centers, schools, rides, parks, there is a zoo, dolphinarium, aquapark and this is not the entire list.
5. Large selection of cafes and restaurants. On Bali you will find dishes of different kitchens of the world, there are veganian and raw food institutions.
6. Availability of good hotels. Bali Hotel Base is represented by modest 3-star and comfortable 5-star hotels. Many have playgrounds, children's menu, clubs for kids.

disadvantages

1. Not every beach on the island is suitable for water procedures. The coast is often waves that the child is not the best conditions. In general, the beach holidays on Bali should not be the main goal of the trip, as the island in this regard is not ideal.
2. Intensive traffic movement, as a rule, speed does not exceed 40 km per hour, as a result, to get from one place to another, you can lose a long time.
3. On the island a huge number of insects, from which to hide is often simply impossible, so you have to be saved by handicrafts. And above the bed is necessary to install a mosquito net.
4. Intestinal infections. You can face them not only on Bali, but in all countries South-East Asia. It is necessary to strictly observe hygiene, eat only in proven places.
5. Language barrier is also a kind of minus, especially if you plan to spend a long time on Bali. The first time the child will be difficult to establish contact with its peers, since they will not understand each other (if it does not concern Russian tourists).
6. A rather long flight to the island, not all children can sit in one place for a long time.

Among the most popular places are a monkey forest, Dolphinarium, bird park and reptile, zoo, show with elephants, butterflies garden, skating rink, water park, botanical garden. Of course, this is not the entire list of interesting places. For example, an older child can be taken with me on rafting. The alloy occurs on large rafts under the supervision of instructors, and the emotions derived from such entertainment can hardly compare with something.

Of all the above, with confidence, it can be said that Bali is suitable for children's rest. The most important thing is to correctly plan the program of your stay on the island and choose the suitable resort.

Bali is, of course, the island of the gods. Every year crowds of tourists rushed to him. Including domestic, including children. Nevertheless, Bali is not the case when you can rely on maybe. There is something to think in advance. For those who are ready to go with the whole family in the South Hemisphere, the advice of Ksenia Chesnoye - experienced traveler and Mom Alice and Grisha, four and two years old.

I spent on Bali for about two months, removed the house, I prepared meal, went to the cafe, entertained the children, enjoyed the beauty of the island. The first and basic for parents with children: they go here not to swim. Is that lying on the beach, but also to look for shady beaches. If you buy a tour and go "to all finished", you should choose the Nusa Dua area. Here, the kingdom of multi-star hotels, clean sand, trees with empty crowns and relatively suitable for swimming in the sea (however, a certain amount of algae and waves, as it were, whispering "and why are you lying on a Thai sand?"). And it is expensive.

In general, Bali is huge waves cut by surfs, these are volcanoes, these are bright black sand boats, poisonous green rice terraces, "high-rise" pagodas of temples, these are incredible trays and handmade furniture, these are scooters flying through all directions as Flies. These are bright holidays and people who can and ready to find mutual language With any child who fell under hand.

What does not need to be surprised: the presence of decent traffic jams, the density of the construction of the southern part of the island and the number of Russian people (as if in Sochi, honestly).

Why then go to Bali with a child? I would not go there for the sake of a child. But with ease, took the children with me when I wanted to Bali himself. Here warm, sand, fresh fruits and seafood. There are many tourists and expatons on the island, so international schools and developing classes are enough. Like parmesan, bacon, French baons and other not characteristic of Asia, but sometimes so passionately desired products. A large selection of private housing for acceptable money - here Bali will give odds to any other Asian country.

With seasonality, however, it is not very convenient for us: in winter they will not break the warmth - until March is the rainy season here. And the rains are truth - not all the time, but often a lot. In addition, they provoke the appearance of mold on the walls with which it is quite possible to fight with the help of chemicals and housekeepers, but which still does not make life more fun and, penetrating in boxes, spoils things (on arrival it is better to immediately remove the doors from the cabinets to immediately everything was ventilated). But spring on Bali is fine - it's time to get Russian Avitamin Middle Durian. Not bad here and summer.

Best places

Arriving for a couple of weeks, you can stay in a hotel room. But for a period of more than three weeks it makes sense to rent a house - the price will be almost the same. Its house is good impressive sizes, the availability of a kitchen and the ability to find inexpensive household helpers.

If the main thing is swimming in the sea, you can stop:

• in the north in Lovina (far from "life", but shops and some of the necessary infrastructure have, hotels right on the beach);
• in the east in Amida or Tulamben (pebble beach, with a tight infrastructure, but you can swim with a mask to fish),
• in Padan Bay or on Sanur. These areas are located in the port area, you can rent a house, and stay in the hotel. Far from the noisy nightlife of Kuta and the serf beaches of Bucita, but many tourists with children stop here.
• the north of Kuta are more expensive and quiet areas of Legian and Seminyak. True, here quite crowded. If you dream about deserted paradise islandThe construction density is unpleasant to amaze.
• the south of the cute is located a small budship peninsula. There is a little rustic atmosphere: quietly, there are almost no traffic jams, the amount of greenery and other nature after the cute is very pleased. The beaches are different here - the five-star Nusa Dua, Padang Padang with his monkeys, Jimbaran with fish restaurants, a wide bandagon, which forms comfortable for playing with children "Baths", and is almost in a deputudual cave.
• in Ubud cool, monkey forest, houses with huge terraces and views of rice fields, villages with artisans. All is well, but Ubud is located in the center of the island - from the sea away.

Search at home

Accommodation can be found in advance via the Internet, which means overpaying $ 200-300 per month to the agent. Or already on the spot - take a taxi driver or scooter and go to search for Rent's signs, pollarm, find out in the shops. For 2-3 days, it is quite realistic to find a good house with two bedrooms, air conditioning and hot water for $ 400-600 per month.

When concluding a lease agreement, you need to clarify and note a few points:

• whether the total "communal" (water and electricity and electricity and electricity will separately settle approximately 30 dollars per month),
• that with the Internet (most likely nothing but suddenly),
• the presence of the necessary furniture, plumbing and dishes - and that can be asked from the owner from this (I brought knives from this, bought a cooler for water),
• in all the bedrooms there are air conditioning, all bathrooms are hot water,
• is there a spare bed linen set,
• living room size and adjacent territory (children need to play somewhere),
• if there is a pool - the frequency of cleaning and care (if you do nothing, they bloom terribly),
• the presence of cabinets and shelves around the house (things need to be decomposed).

Favoring the house, we can immediately ask the landlord or someone from the neighbors to find the housekeeper. In humidity conditions and abundance of ants, its presence will infinitely facilitate life. Cleaning once a day will cost about $ 60 per month, constant presence and care of children with one weekend per week - approximately $ 110-150 per month.

Transport

Of course, you can survive on Bali without personal transport: to stay not far from the beach and hire a taxi for long-distance departures. But if you know how to led at least something, your own wheels will improve your life.

First, it means that you can find housing not by the sea - that is, much more comfortable, spacious and cheaper, without overpayments for the "first line".

Secondly, you will be completely free in movements, without paying opening for them every time - even though in the water park it is reached, at least a new cafe for dinner to search.

Thirdly, renting transport to Bali is very cheap. Scooter for a month will cost from $ 55, the car is from $ 200. With the child, it is logical to take the car: it's convenient to sleep in it, and you can hide from the rain, and safer.

However, the movement on the island is dense and pretty chaotic. If you have already had driving experience in Vietnam, you can imagine how it happens. If you often drive a car in Moscow, in general, too. In other cases, it is quite realistic to master the features of driving on Bali, but do it gradually and carefully.

If you want to go through the island (and there is something to see on Bali), you can hire a driver with a car or rent a car for a couple of days. With the driver will be, of course, calmer. But in independence there are many advantages. Hiring the driver, you are not a meant to look into the shop of his friend or eat with a crowd of tourists where your guide will receive a commission. And how to refuse if you report that it is not tasty, there is not interesting, but to the right and at all begins by God the forgotten village. But just rolling around the village streets, you can see the funniest scenes and the most sincere smiles.

the Internet

The hotel may be Wi-Fi, in the house, most likely there will be nothing. But whatever the Internet you go, it will be very and very slow - as in the "modem" youth. If you suddenly plan to work on Bali, remember this.

The two most popular options: activate on your SIM-SIM card unlimited package -11 $ a month, or buy a modem of the Indonesian SMARTFREN statement (22 $ with a SIM card) and activate a unlimited package for $ 10 per month.

Wash

Laundry has all over the island, just take a look at Laundry signs. Some are ready to pick up things from home and bring the postgraded. Good price - Haldollar (5000 rupees) per kilogram. It is better to try the concrete laundry on clothes, which is not a pity: alas, here can spoil and lose things.

Food

The kitchen in Indonesia is not very diverse and not very tasty, after Thailand And Vietnam can be quite sad. But there is plenty of pizzeria, steak houses and macdonalds for nostalgic. Of local cuisine Children usually like Soto Ayam - chicken soup with noodles. In a simple cafe, you can always take Nasi Goreng (fried rice with vegetables and sometimes meat) for one and a half or two dollars. From these 15,000 rupees and begins the countdown - then there will be crabs of $ 5.5 in the Chinese cafe, and lobsters at $ 50 where the Russians are waiting. Without her husband, we laid at 5-10 $ for one trip in a cafe. With my husband, the figure rose sharply and approached $ 20 (yes, men sometimes love scope and are not ready to save on themselves).

Having the opportunity to cook at home, you will probably at some point we use it. There are large supermarkets on Bali (Carrefour in Kuta, for example), there are smaller - Nirmala or Pepito networks (in the latter, the choice of European goods is especially large), there are quite a "mini" markets (which are still like a supermarket, such as Circle K, MiniMarket , IndoMaret, but they are expensive). And there are local shops - and to find them, you need to carefully search for. But products there are the same, and cheaper. And the choice is more. Eggs - $ 1.5, milk - as much, a coffee package - $ 1, bacon - about three. Already a good breakfast for a couple of days. Add fruit, fresh buns of 30 cents, and morning will seem joyful even in the rain. Vegetables fruit are often sold in separate tents. Bag with watermelon, large papaya, bananas and pineapple costs about $ 5.

If buying food in local stores is more convenient, then with clothes everything is more complicated. Children's things can still be found - they will be cute and very cheap. But for adults worth getting to Kuta. In general, on Bali you can easily buy almost anything. Children's toys here are a lot: both a penny terrible and expensive quality. And at the same time cheap quite good. There are cars, bicycles, swing and slides into the courtyard. There are any accessories for swimming, there is everything for drawing and different puzzles, but no watercolor - paints only in tubes.

Medicine

Large clinics on Bali are available, including in Kuta (BIMC, International SOS) and in Jimbaran (Kasih IBU). Be sure to place insurance before traveling, it will cost it inexpensively, but in the future you will not guess whether it is worth paying for a visit to a doctor or "will pass".

In general, children on Bali are sick, it must be admitted. They hurt in our stay on the island and children of people living there constantly, and mine. The temperature rose, once there was a diarrhea, the child's girlfriend rushed. But these ailments did not continue for longer than two days and passed themselves. In general, at home my children suffer a little less often, but longer.

What creates discomfort, so this is a high humidity in which they poorly heal the wounds and every nasty progress. Commercial bite of mosquito can turn into something frightening. At some point I learned everything in a row to water the solutions of antiseptics.

Entertainment

By providing yourself with a worthy life, you will surely find that sitting at home is boring, the children are rushing to people, the soul asks the holiday.

For the purpose of bathing, of course, it is worth examining all the surrounding beaches and beaches. Moreover, it is necessary to examine them in the tide, and in the sump - the situation may vary critically.

There are 5 $ small water parks on Bali (at the Nirmala supermarket in the Ungasan area on Bukite, for example). There is more - $ 10 (New Kuta Green Park in Drimland, on the same Bukite). There is a huge water park in Waterbom in Kuta - just come in in the morning, otherwise it is not enough for everything. It happens that expensive hotels allow them to use their pools for a fee (for example, Discovery Hotel in Kuta).

If you arrived for a couple of months, it will be interesting to tell the child for developing classes. Of course, they will be in English, but it is often not so important to children, but at the same time the immersion in the linguistic environment will take place. You can go to school to send a child - every day half a day - about $ 200 per month.

When the whole island is investigated, you can fly quickly somewhere else. In Indonesia, there are many airlines in Indonesia, but the cheapest usually turn out to be tickets at the Airasia and Lionair, and it is more comfortable on the Garuda aircraft. If you look through stocks and think about everything in advance, you can fly in Kuala Lumpur for $ 15-20 - to Java, for $ 40 - to go on business class on Lombok, for example.

What did we do to Bali?

Just lived. Breakfast, went to dig sand onto the beach, and sometimes swim. They drove to friends, dinner in the cafe, watched sunsets. We went to the pool - children very quickly learn not to be afraid of water, swim, dive. Bought fish in the market, they asked to cook in a cafe and dinner at home. Several times left travel around the island by car. Float on the boat to the neighboring islands of Gili - there is a sea of \u200b\u200bquieter and can be seen.

A two-year-old Grishka loved the waves and well learned the words "crab", "Komar" and "ant". Four-year-old Alice daily demanded a swimming pool, easily sailing meters 25 without any plaels. Children went crazy along the local fried corn (half of the half-dollar), drank the infinite amount of fresh watermelon juice, learned to play together and with Indonesian children (the absence of the language did not mean the interference). Has who arrived for three weeks, her husband tried to ride a surf. At the same time, the children were risked on the same surf - closer to the shore, sitting on top.

Total: if you want the paradise beaches and swimming, you don't need to go to Bali. But if I want to be comfortable to live in warm edges, the island is very suitable: here are large inexpensive houses, cheap housekeepers and babysitters. Bali is small, and on this compact area there is everything you need for high-quality and an interesting holiday - and infrastructure, and nature, and exotic.
