Simple day-planning tips for families
A smooth day usually follows this simple structure:
- Morning: go early and do the main attraction while energy is high.
- Midday: lunch and a slower pace (avoid packing too much in).
- Afternoon: head back before everyone is tired and traffic builds up.
- Evening: keep dinner easy and let kids wind down.
What to pack for family activities in Bali
