THE KID’S SIDE OF THE STORY

Hi there. Just wondering if you could offer a top ten list of things to do and see with 13,12,10 and 8 year olds in Java, Kalimantan and Bali and Lombok. Great blog by the way.
Yowsers! Have you checked my Indonesia tab? These pages are way out of date — I’d sort of forgotten they were on here. There’s some good stuff on Bali, Java and a bit of Lombok.
Here’s some recommendations for Bali:

Also check my Indonesia country tab: http://travelswithanineyearold.com/category/indonesia/ which has more detail on a lot of the below.
Off Kalimantan, Pulau Derawan is gorgeous with kids; on Lombok, Kuta has beautiful beaches, and you can make pottery there; not such a fan of the Gilis after Derawan, as Derawan is better; in Java, there are spice farms and coffee plantations, the Ijen is very beautiful, and, of course, the volcanoes are good IF you have a tolerance for sulphur (Z doesn’t). Hope this helps…
Flores is also totally amazing.. On some levels, I’d say do that over Java.
