Despite the terrorist blasts casting a shadow over holidaymakers' plans in Bali, some tourists, including a couple on their honeymoon, have not been deterred by the attacks.

South Korean banker Hwang In-do and his new wife, who were in transit at Hong Kong's Chek Lap Kok airport from Korea, said they would continue on their planned five-day honeymoon in the popular resort destination of Jimbaran. Two bombs had exploded at Jimbaran on Saturday night.

The couple, who left Hong Kong yesterday for their honeymoon, admitted they were concerned and would be cautious and not go shopping.

'I heard that there was a bombing in Bali last night. I have just read the newspaper and knew that there was a bombing in Jimbaran. I am worried about this,' Mr Hwang said.

He said the attack had dampened his mood for their honeymoon.

'We will stay away from areas crowded with people,' he said.
