What to do with children to Bali? Bali with children: the best beaches and entertainment Family holidays on Bali

What parents are afraid

First of all, I want to say that around the topic of recreation with a child anywhere, and even more so in Asia, a lot of prejudices and myths. In particular, I recently met such a mother's comment in one of the social networks "anywhere with a child, just not to Asia! Adults are etched, and children and suppressed."

They fear moms, acclimatization, insects and reptiles, poisoning, infections and other things. Only one thing can be said to this: if you are afraid, it is better to sit at home. And the nerves will save, and you will not be afraid. Although, to be honest, and at home you are not protected from anything. One my friend broke my foot while in my own apartment. So do not program yourself on a bad, think about good!

For the whole of Asia, I can not talk, because I walked with a child so far only on Bali and Pangan, but what myths I learned about the existence and which I really want to debunk.

Myth number 1

"At Bali do not swim, children can only swim in the pool"

For all the time the first wintering, my daughter never bathed in the pool. Well, I just did not consider it necessary to bathe a half-one-way child in chlorinated water when there is a real and alive. We live far enough from the ocean, in the village of Ubud. But at half an hour from us is the area of \u200b\u200bSanur, where there is a wonderful beach Sindu Beach.

It is very clean and the water is calm, since the coast is protected by coral reef. Children there to swim very much! My khan is afraid of the waves, but in she herself boldly goes into the water. I recommend going to the beach at the hotel Inna Grand Hotel, it's quiet there, no one imposes its products and is very comfortable.

We also love Karma Beach. On Bukite. It is not only clean and suitable for recreation with children, but also incredibly beautiful. Hannah especially appreciated small pools after low tide. Sat, as if in a jacuzzi.Two minuses: 1) Go down to it 300 steps 2)It is necessary to take into account the time of tides and sings, because in the tide the beach almost completely goes under the water.

The Nusa Dua area is also beautiful. The beaches are clean even in the rainy season, when, for example, Changu and Kut turn into a pitiful sight because of the abundance of garbage. And the garbage brings a replaced flow. When the rainy season is over, Kuta and Changu changed! So keep in mind this feature.

If we are going to Nusa-Dua, pay attention to the beachGeger., He is also protected by a coral reef and water there is very calm, no waves.

So for swimming in the ocean, you should not worry about it. And if your kids do not pose life without splashing in the pool, then almost with any hotel you can agree and you will be empty for a small fee.

Myth number 2.

" In the rainy season there is nothing to do "- Those who do not know anything about the rainy season. We flew a couple of months before the beginning of the notorious wet season and, honestly, did not notice a special difference between dry and wet. The rain is going, pouring, it turns out and after half an hour again and warm . Only once the shower charged almost for almost 3 days in a row with small breaks. Agree, 3 days of rain at a temperature of +25/27 you can survive

Myth number 3.

"Save on insurance ".
It seems to go on a journey with a child without medical insurance has become truly fashionable. . Let a better insurance policy remain unused, but you will know that you can count on qualified assistance if necessary. Especially if you drive with a child.

Hani was hospitalized with Rotavirus for three days. I naturally was with her. A separate chamber, a meal of the menu, about the constant monitoring of the state of my daughter, I do not speak. When we were discharged, my neighbor (by the way, the mother of two children) shared his experience. Her daughter picked up Rotavirus, being in Russia, and they were put in a common chamber, where they lay 5 more patients with different infections. As a result, the accompanying adult also picked up some kind of infection. So we have even lucky to transfer Rotavirus to Bali.

How and where to choose accommodation?

For recreation with children, I highly recommend choose the areas of the trick. For example, the same

We are Adepts Ubud. Here are green, fresh, calmly in terms of safety and to the nearest beach for 30 minutes. Personally, I am Changu and Kuta seem not the most suitable for family pastime due to the large cluster of tourists, and, as a result, the abundance of passing.

However, I know a wonderful couple with a semi-annual baby who loves Changu, and our favorite Ubud soul did not come. Every man to his own taste. It is good that the island is compact enough and in the event that something does not like the selected area, you can easily move to another.

How we were looking for a house

We initially knew what we were going for a long time, still being in Russia. We were looking for very simple: in all social networks sent inquiries in Bali Groups about free houses in the area of \u200b\u200binterest to us and within our budget.

The answers were different. The most frequent was this kind "yes, in general in your mind for such a penny look for housing?". Apparently, these agents answered us, who is completely uninteresting to offer budget options. But we were not upset and continued to search.

As a result, we wrote off with a girl who lived at that time on Bali (prepared for childbirth), she sent us photos and video options for housing. She also booked a suitable house, knocking out a good discount from the owner of the house.

Prices for housing

The price category for housing on Bali begins from 10,000 per month per room in a good guesthouse and indefinitely. There are houses for every taste and wallet. So do not listen to agents, their interest is clear: to pass more expensive to get the commission more.

As a result, we shot a separate single-bedroom home where another 9 houses and rental rooms, and the Balinese family itself lives. Our nestsdyshko costs us with an unrealistic view of rice terraces, daily cleaning, not bad Internet, electricity and hot water 20 thousand rubles. Separately, gas for kitchen, drinking water and laundry service are paid. For the same money, we shot the odnushku in Perm overlooking the next house. What is called, feel the difference.

. Book a hotel for several days, come, take a bike and drive around or go around the neighborhood by setting the local question "House for rent?". So you will see the person in the middle of the house, let's get rid of it. By the way, it is not only possible to bargain to Bali, but also need. Usually, the Russians are perceived here as money bags, and prices are communicated to us strongly overestimated. Therefore, bargain until you stop. In the end, the desired option will still be found. Applies not only housing!

Since I have no experience in the hotel with a child, I can not answer the question which hotels are considered to be the best for recreation with children. I know exactly what children's clubs and water parks are organized with many hotels, there are nanny services, so they repel from whether there are such activists at the hotel. Where many children of different ages, there are many opportunities for natural development stimulation.

What to take a child to Bali?

For me, this question was decided by himself. We settled into the house at night, and when the surroundings went out in the morning, it turned out that the grandchildren of the house of the house aged from 2-6 years live on the territory. Hannah was delighted!

Periodically came more families with children, and we had a practically international kindergarten;) In addition, we also lived in a place where you graze geese, ducks, cows, a lot of chickens and roosters. Hannah discerned with interest, fed animals with his hands. For my daughter, one and a half years of such communication, both with other children and with wildlife, was enough, in my opinion. Two or three times a week we tried to get out to the beach. In this big sandbox, the child is always interesting.

Balinese zoo and other attractions

We also traveled to Bali Zoo, which is near the Ubud. Someone believes that he is inferior to the Singapore zoo, but the Balinese really came to our soul. I especially liked the territory where goats, small kangaroo, deer can be fed with your hands! Plus there is a small children's water park.

Large water parks Waterboom and Greenpark are already suitable for older children. They praise them on the forums, but at first we were early to ride such places, and then laziness, so there was no more about them about them.

Monkey Forest in Ubud is beautiful and dangerous at the same time. Monkeys run on the ground, climb on the trees, communicate with each other and are not completely considered with tourists. Be very careful because it is quite aggressive animals. But it is worth walking in the forest, there is incredibly beautiful.

We also, honestly, for ignorance went to Hidden Canyon. It is good that the baby was fastened with a sling task. The adventure is very interesting, but extreme: I still do not understand how you and Hani, we dare to crawl on these boulders and jump off the stone onto the stone. Therefore, I recommend left a child with a nanny and go to this place yourself.

Hannah loves to ride attractions. Fortunately, in Ubud, they are enough and the prices of them are low. We love the carousel with the Clandy Children's Hypermarket "s. In order to our money cost 5 rubles. Sometimes we drive to MacDonald" S, but only in a certain: if it has a children's slide. Daughter loves to crawl there along with other kids, while we are calmly drinking your coffee.

Also in many areas of Bali, Russian mothers organize meetings, where children are having fun behind the game, and Moms are for a pleasant conversation. There are kindergartens both international and Russian.

How do children relate to Bali?

In general, the children are very loved on Bali. Hannah never remainsless wherever we are. It is photographed, hugging, treat with goodies, play with it. First of time I was very confused, because in Russia we are not accustomed to this. But after the first 6 months of staying on the island, I am not surprised anything and calmly react to these sisks and squealing squeal;)

I believe that it was one of the most correct decisions in my life to go to Bali. In addition to the fact that my husband and I do not love the cold, and thanks to the wintering frost missed, we also witnessed the incredible jump in our daughter's development. We arrived at 1.1 and Hani went a little viciously.

In Russia, doctors intimidated me by dysplasia, I was very tense about this. And here it began to go completely normally, and then run! Communication with foreign children, the sounds of nature and the Indonesian language, a lot of movement in a minimum of clothing, swimming in the ocean - all this will impose a positive imprint in the worldview. And it will definitely remember us, parents.

In general, I my husband and I do not imagine how you can leave our Hannah someone and go on a tour. Therefore, we take it everywhere with you. The daughter happily bathed in a waterfall, watched monkeys, examined rice terraces with us. And the pleasure of these trips increased, looking at these burning eyes.

I am sure that the children are happy where their parents are happy. Yes, perhaps, we have not yet risen on volcanoes, did not go to clubs or some festivals, but this is not going anywhere anywhere, wait. And there is no daughter: she changes every day and me the roads these moments.

Do not be afraid to travel with the children, because the world is big and he is kind!

With a child on Bali.
After many hours of sitting on the Internet in search of useful information about traveling to Bali with a child, I gave myself a word that I would definitely write a post about all nonsense with useful notes. Another parents will come in handy. Everything is useful in the network more information Just for traveling, even if it is useful. And here the eyes of the parents are not very much.
*

*

From the very beginning, we were not fully sure whether it was worth it to go so far. And we were weakly imagined that this is the island, despite the fact that many of our friends were there not once and some of our friends live.
Flight.
And so, the ticket was booking a month before departure, and the discounts were not distributed on children (I don't know, it can specifically in our case, it is better to specify) It seems kids up to two years can travel for free on the lap .. we paid for Nikita (2 years and 7 months at that time) as much as for themselves.26 000 r there and back. There is a way from the door to the door (please do not be afraid) 28 hours, but not so much scary, as it may seem. I liked it very much To fly, of course, under the end, everything is tired, but not so that you do not ride more there)) The route was like this: Moscow-Doha (5 hours on the way), Night in Doha, Doha Jakarta (9 hours Let), Night in Jakarta, And in the morning the flight from Jakarta to Bali (1.5 hours). It turned out only one overnight stay.
The nights we spent not bad enough, at the airport in Doha, you can use the Quiet Room-so-called rest rooms and take a rolled cane car for free, it is very convenient. It is also there there are similar rooms with shower, food, drinks, etc. ($ 40 per person, 6 hours). All the airport free WiFi.The Jakarta is Jakarta Airport Hotel (http://www.jakartaairporthotel.com/), 6 hours seems to be $ 70, but it is worth it if you fly with a child. Unfortunately we did not get free places, but Nikita fell asleep in a wheelchair, without experiencing any inconvenience.
I almost forgot! Why, at the airport, Doha was cool enough and in shorts-shirts you can easily freeze. Do you need to handle the sweatshirts and plaid for the child. We were very useful. I was very useful. Over the plaid, we took from the Catar Plan Nor almost regretted. In the Jakarta Bali plane, too, it was also cold.
If such a long way of moving three aircraft will seem hard, you can buy flights from direct flights much more expensive.
Insurance.
Knowing people advised us to choose an insurance campaign that would cooperate with International SOS.One. It is considered one of the best companies in the field of insurance and is in Bali (http://www.internationalsos.ru/en). In Russia, the IC cooperates with International SOS (http://www.soglasie.ru/). Maybe someone else, no one was looking for. The asshole on the child up to 3 years old are 2 times more expensive than for adults. We were charged $ $ 30,000 and paid 4,000 rubles on three (for Nikita 2 tr)
Occlamation.
We didn't have three of them in terms of simple. Moreover, waking up and fall asleep while we continued at the same time as in Moscow, despite the fact that the difference in time is 4 hours.
Accommodation.
We lived on Bali for almost three weeks. We shot the villa from our acquaintances (they are engaged in this http://innabali.ru/). In the Legian area. At the beach for a taxi for about 7 minutes. On the motorbike even faster.

And the guys with whom we went to the journey, book the chip hotel in Kuta, across the road from the ocean (Anggrek Hotel). Love normal, if you are young, cheese, while childless and go to surf and chew))). The month of residence at this hotel is about 5 tr per person, if not less. The mining of neighbors-Russian youth, someone came on vacation, someone constantly lives there.
The day began like this: we woke up on our outerwesome villa ... they sodes on the scooter and drove into the cut for the guys) had a whole toothed in a cafe, surfing and fucked on the beach. When you went to dare and went back to the villa to lay Nikita in daytime. we woke up and we returned to Kutu. When Nikita did not want to sleep during the day, we left the guys and at the same time it was soapy after the beach. On the second day of arrival, they found out that it was cheaper in Kuta cheaper than two times in two, not in Legiana. For great competition, and maybe because the place itself is Possible and easier.

And more: when choosing housing, check with whether there is no noisy road and buildings.
What was worried about the trip:
i thought that in Kuta, we would not even get together. I would not have done that there was dirty noisy and bad shore for swimming with a child. Thrudy all different, of course, but we had fun and positively. Cut like a cute. Laptop is quite good, clean (They say three years ago was dirtier). Butt fished on the shore in the wet sand, ran through the water and we died out a slightly plump. But the Kuta Beach is a place for surfers and if you want a family beach, it is better probably live in another area, In Nusa-Dua, he is civilially. Although we didn't have anything at all)) I liked everything.

Food.
All three weeks we invariably went to the place-totemo varung on the streets on the street benesari. They had a dinner and dinner. We liked that everything was tasty, efficiently and good prices. For two days we even tried to cook at home, but this at home was made. It makes no sense. It is more expensive and not so diverse, of course.
On Bali, our child was fed rice, vegetable dishes. Current, meat, saladiacs, soup, pancakes. Frames (bananas, mango mainly), there were no fresh juices. With the food there was no problem. I was not able to go before leaving what he would be there There is. From survived, even funny to remember)) The main thing is to clarify the waiter No spicy so that the dish is not sharp. From the table, we sometimes crawled, leaving for three 90 thousand rubles (300 p), these are fresh juices twice and tasty Local food and coffee and pancakes)))

For children, women in supermarkets there is everything that is in the homeland. And children's nutrition and juices and diapers. Everything is like a soul.
With you, I wore an antiseptic gel for hands and just in case Enterosgel. We were a couple of times Nikita for the prevention, when he looked through the water from the ocean and the pool.
I advise you to take a sunscreen and panthenol spray from burns. He did all our company. For three weeks to burn everything, despite the fact that the umbrella was taken to rent and defended the sun. Pantenol acts magical.
Since we are talking about medicines, I will write that we were useful. The flow of hydrogen + green. For the boys broken knees - it is inevitable)) although for girls too, of course))
Drops Popargol.Noyat swatched three days at the beginning, then he adapted. We gave him Aflubus when I hipsted, but maybe it was too much, we just really wanted our vacation to go without problems)) practically from lexing we didn't come in handy glory But the first-aid kit must be taken. The most necessary I was lucky in a hand baggage (thermometer, bandage, green, peroxide, ransight-pandol, plaster), the rest passed into the luggage.
Climate.
We rested in October and caught raining just a couple of times it seems. In the case there was always the sun and sometimes tuchci. Very warm and good)) From the clothes, we were useful to T-shirts, shorts and slans. Allowers (Nikitina tights, sweatshirts, Longslov, jeans ) So lay on the bottom of the suitcase.

And I will write the Yeshu about one nuance. I think that you are going to relax not at the resorts of the Krasnodar Territory)) and not to Europe, but choose the islands in the open ocean, you are subject to any, but risk. The time of our trip to Bali was Earthbore . In 100km from the island in the ocean. Our media managed to inflate it to incredible sizes, up to the fact that everything was destroyed, tourists leave the island. In fact, just a little shocked the land of seconds 5 maybe all. We were sitting in a cafe, even the cups did not fall . Although, admitted, everyone was frightened. Mixed inhabitants say that this is normal and sometimes, it does not often happen. Thenas even asked: what, in Moscow do not happen in Moscow?))
Wash.
Several times we handed over the lingerie in the laundry, mostly things that are not very well overwhelmed in the manual. And the same on Bali is very humid and things will dry for a long time.
A package of things we managed to 20 thousand rupees, it is about 70 rubles. We handed over, taken in the evening.
Added seems to be a post, the husband advised to tell about the place where it is better to buy souvenirs and register at prices))
In general, on three in 20 days, we have spent about 60 thousand rubles, I did not refuse themselves, we went three times on excursions for the whole day, only on Gili Just after the earthquake decided not to go, left until the next time.
Souvenirs bought in Geneva's store. If you say a taxi driver of Geneva Shop Kerobokan Street, he will understand you)) Souvenirs are cheaper there three times, than in souvenir shops on the street and in supermarkets.
What did you feel:
Balinese are very cute friendly and kind people. And they feed the stray feelings for young children)) Nikita was always the center of attention, everyone knew him shouting Hello, Nikitaaa)) sent air kisses and constantly, constantly photographed with him)) The child has become even more talking, sociable and open world))

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 spreader crowns and relatively suitable for swimming in the sea (though, 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 a common 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 a deserted paradise island, the building density will unpleasantly 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 - halfdollar (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 and Vietnam can be quite sad. But there is plenty of pizzeria, steak houses and macdonalds for nostalgic. From 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 interesting recreation - and infrastructure, nature, and exotic.

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, clean water, beautiful sun beds and umbrellas from the sun, green trimmed lawns and a large selection of good hotels and 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

As for the money, the normal villa with modern furniture and technology can be rented about $ 150-200 per day, and if you rent for a long time, it will be more 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?
