Hi Guys!
I'm going to be making my first trip to Coz since 1991. Back then, I felt that Coz was one of the safest places around (as tourist places goes). Recently, I was on a couple of tourist boards and they are saying to watch out for the little kids selling stuff and don't carry any cash around.
Is being pickpocketed a big problem on Coz? Also, is it safer to carry a small amount of cash to Coz and use credit cards versus using the hotel safe to store cash and passport? Are the atms safe to use?
My understanding is that all the drinking water on Coz is from a desalination plant and safe to drink, is that a correct assumption?
How about walking around at night in the tourist areas downtown, is there a problem of personal safety?
As I said, 20 years ago, I wouldn't have worried about any of these questions, with the exception of the water :=)
Thanks!
