The tropical sunshine can be harsh so “slip, slop, slap” rule applies. Bottled water is the safest to drink. Avoid roadside stalls, or any restaurant that doesn’t look safe to you. There is a highly recommended Medical and Emergency Clinic near Kuta called BIMC Hospital, they are open 24 hours and Australian doctors are on hand, call +62 361 3003 911, address Jalan Bypass Ngurah Rai 100 X, Kuta 80361.
The best taxi company by far is Blue Bird Taxi, which uses blue vehicles with a light on the roof bearing a stylised bluebird. Drivers speak reasonable English and use the meter at all times. Watch out for fakes – there are many. Look for 'Blue Bird' over the windscreen and the phone number. "Grab" is also another good taxi option.
