i've just arrived to my hotel which is
the colony hotel here in seminyak and
this is where i'm going to be staying
for the next two nights
they told me that they actually gave me
one of the biggest and nicest rooms that
they have
so i can't wait to show you you guys
this place because it's
kind of about the same size as my entire
villa back in changu
let's check it out
so this is the entrance way
got a table amazing
living room area there's so much space
in here
so this is the bedroom huge double bed
the bathroom is pretty amazing
oh it's so beautiful big bathtub
probably the best part is the balcony
which is out here
this beautiful day bed
the size of this balcony it is a huge
got a view of the swimming pool
and just really nice relaxing area here
wow
oh it's even a really nice note dear
janet newenham welcome to the colony
hotel valley wishing you a wonderful
stay
oh this bathroom though wow
who doesn't love a bathtub
and this bedroom
this is the second swimming pool here at
the colony
wow so beautiful
okay guys so the reason i wanted to come
to seminyak and actually
make this video is i wanted to show you
guys how busy or how quiet seminyak is
in 2021
obviously ballet has been closed for
over a year now an entire year
closed tourism and normally seminyak is
one of the busiest places to come in
bali
so apart from cuda a lot of tourists
would come here all the hotels would be
full the bars the nightclubs
so many beautiful boutiques and shops
very popular with people to come
shopping
so right now we're essentially in the
middle of seminyak we're
in our hotel we're currently i think the
only guest which is obviously very sad
it's a very beautiful hotel but it is so
peaceful here
like you can hear all the trees rustling
you can hear the sounds of birds and i'm
like
are we really in seminyak because if we
were in changu right now it actually
would not be this peaceful
um and obviously in normal times in
seminyak you would have a lot of people
passing through you would have horns
beeping and trucks passing and bikes
passing
but because there are no tourists then
the roads are super super quiet
here we are in the middle of seminyak
and it's actually
very peaceful
so the hotel actually gave us this
little information sheet and what's
bonkers is there are
60 60 restaurants mentioned
on this all within the seminyak area and
my guess would be that more than half of
these would currently be closed
but it just shows you normally how much
is going on here
in seminyak and when we walk around i
will show you
how much of that is closed
so we're just going to head out now for
dinner we are going to a place called
basil kitchen or basil kitchen if you
are from america
and my friend jeanette has actually been
here before she highly recommends it so
let's go see what it's like
how cute is this place it's quite
eclectic the furniture
actually this place is usually pretty
busy um for how
quiet seminyak is at the moment um but i
think a lot of people come here for
brunch and lunch and just to chill and
have a coffee because
it's the breakfast more of a daytime
spot maybe
thank you
so we've come here to vassell's kitchen
the menu
[Music]
super cheap okay
wow oh it's so pretty
yay oh my god guys
this entire thing is three euro guys
actually less than three euros like two
euro eighty
[Music]
so good morning guys from a beautiful
sunny morning here in seminyak
i actually woke up to the sound of the
birds chirping and i couldn't believe
that i'm actually in seminyak
so we are up bright and early and we are
heading over to the second swimming pool
here in the colony hotel
as we are having a floating breakfast
and i'm super excited about this so
let's go
that'll do that that will definitely do
that was perfect yeah
yeah you can put it straight in the pool
yet
how amazing does this look you guys
they've just set up this incredible
floating breakfast for us
we've got toast and croissants egg fruit
plates juices
so guys we actually just took some
photos already and now we are just sort
of
getting ready to actually eat the food
before it gets cold it really does look
great
there's a lot of choice so we're just
gonna sit here by the pool or we might
even get in
and just enjoy this beautiful peaceful
tranquility
of the colony hotel
[Music]
so guys one thing that's very popular to
do here in seminyak is to go to a spa
there are so many amazing incredible
spas here in the seminyak area of bali
so today i have come here to body works
this is a new enough one
i think it might have moved to location
recently but it's sort of like a morocco
themed spa here in bali wait till you
guys see the inside of this place
because it
is beautiful so this
is the entrance way to body works
all these gorgeous chairs
[Music]
this is the upstairs balcony area
look at this pool janet stand there be
my model
all the marigold flowers in the pool
okay guys so right now i'm here with my
friend sophie
and we've decided to come to a
restaurant called bow and
bun as actually a few of my subscribers
have told me to come here and said it
was a really good
restaurant to eat here in seminyak we
looked it up and it turns out they have
fifty percent of
all food today and that's pretty typical
here in seminyak at the moment because
so many restaurants are closed the
restaurants and cafes that are open seem
to have very big discounts
so like yesterday we were able to have
dinner for 50k which was like three euro
and a lot of the stuff on this menu if
you take 50 off
is actually like 50k or less actually so
yeah i'll let you guys know obviously
how much we spend how much it comes to
and what the food is like
wow thank you makassi
here's your fries
so i got something called try everything
it's like literally one or two of
everything on the sort of small
bites menu and it looks insane
[Music]
okay so we're doing a bit of fun we're
doing a bit of shopping there's a h
m here and there's no h m in changu so
we're here at sonia village it's very
quiet the shops across the road are
closed so we just parked our bikes right
there
i should take my mask off for a second
um yeah you have to wear a mask
obviously going into the shopping center
they check your temperature
sometimes you got to wash your hands or
use sanitizer so i'll show you
ice cream on wheels
hand washing station
is like
so quiet we're like literally the only
people here this
is essentially the main street outside
seminyak village shopping center
and it's currently about 4 30 p.m
so a lot of stuff is closed but there's
some shops that are open
look at us walking in seminyak
guys it's so quiet so much is closed
it's so sad
seriously we're like sophie it's like a
ghost town
literally it's like i am legends all
over again
in real life
that place is open this place is open
closed oh ballet t-shirts looks closed
so sad love okay so we literally just
walked down the street
and everything's closed we're looking
for coffee to get a coffee uh
looking for a coffee shop to get a
coffee and we haven't had much luck
so we're walking back the other
direction now and as you guys can see
there's really
oh look there's like a half down
building so sad
yeah really like chengu is pretty normal
yeah seminyak is just
sad it's all i can say like it's you
know it's quiet if you want to live here
there's still some really nice
restaurants and cafes if you know where
they are and if they're open but
i don't know it kind of feels a bit like
i wouldn't want to be living here would
you no it's completely dead
there's nothing open
okay guys so we've come down to the
beach here in seminyak for sunset we're
not sure if we're gonna get much of a
sunset
as there are some pretty big storm
clouds behind us but we're gonna head to
a little beach club called
mano hello logan's subscribed
[Laughter]
yeah he said he does um prank videos
i hate that i've never seen this before
we got a swing with
pet and get beach and then it says
social distancing and mask
zone so i think this is where we're
heading in here
so we were going to go to manoa beach
house but we've actually settled on this
super cute like picnic style bar they've
just got some sort of sarongs and
umbrellas little candle lit
lights or just chill in here with some
beers
hi girls hi oh my god it has been a busy
day here in seminyak with soap
this is our last stop of the day here at
corner house as they have free tacos on
a tuesday
so all you have to do is buy one drink
and then you get free tacos
so i guess that's what we're doing
so all you need to do is make a
reservation and when you get here i
think you have to buy a drink right
yeah you have to buy at least one drink
and then you get free tacos
so essentially you get a free dinner
this is legit free i'm not even kidding
the tacos here on a tuesday are free
any idea what's in the tacos you've got
calamari
uh you've got beef veggie
chicken and popcorn chicken
so it's our second morning here at the
colony and we're just having breakfast
by the pool no floating breakfast today
but we're just setting it up here we're
taking a few nice pictures
and enjoying this beautiful place sadly
our quick two nights day in seminyak had
come to an end so it was back on the
bikes and back to chengu
