First Impressions of Nuwara Eliya Sri Lanka

First Impressions of Nuwara Eliya Sri Lanka

Show Video

Good afternoon guys, and welcome back to another video here in Sri Lanka specifically somewhere in the jungle. I actually can't tell you where I’m at because to be honest with you, I don't have a clue but I’m here with the British lad. Hello, hello. We're here with the squad here. We just hopped off at this train station right here because we missed our stop if you saw in the last video. We just decided to hop right off there, wasn't even a transition period when we jumped off like it was just like boom, grab the bags and then we're off the train. So now we're here somewhere in the jungle, and we are going

to be getting a tuk-tuk that the nice gentleman here at the train station are coordinating for us a private tuk-tuk. So we'll see how much that actually cost us because it sounds kinda expensive at first glimpse, and we will head on over to Nuwara Eliya. I don't really know what there is to do here besides visits tea plantations. I hear there's some waterfalls in the area so we're gonna kinda see where the day takes us. Let's go ahead and do it. A huge thank you to

our friends. We just hopped off at this at this train station. What's the name of this train station? We decided we're gonna get off. It looked like a beautiful village because we went past our stops so they were nice enough to arrange a tuk-tuk for us, and we'll be heading into the city. Stootee [Thank you] machans [Bros] thank you so much. We'll see you, goodbye. So guys we're taking our baggage

right across this way. There's a pathway right across the train tracks here. This might be our tuk-tuk driver right there and here we go. Crossing the tracks now, going down some steps to get down to the road. Oh yeah, we got all of our

baggage right here guys as you can see but it's a beautiful walkway. I can hear the tuk-tuk somewhere around here. Hopefully, he's got some serious horsepower for this guys because we've got all of our baggage plus me and Harry. We got some big hills to go up, there he is. Our guys worked it out, it's 3 500 to bring us to Nuwara Eliya. So as you can imagine, the train ticket only being 200 that's what happens when you get off at the wrong stop, and there we are. Hello machan [Bro]. Yeah. Alright, we're gonna load up here we

got the tiger print in here. Oh yes, we're gonna be cruising so we're cruising up to Nuwara Eliya. The journey continues guys We are cruising with our man, what's your good name? Yeah so he is a private tuk-tuk driver in this area. We got lucky, we could even find one because the village that we're in has only 200 people. One of the

gentlemen there was telling me so as you can see, everybody probably knows everybody but it's a beautiful place to wake up to every day. Right now, you got a bit of a mystical type of feeling with a little bit of rain coming in here, and there like some drizzling but then just tea plantations. Hello, they probably don't get too many foreigners that are cruising around here but I believe not too far away from here, you can find some waterfalls and a few tea plantations also the guys we were just with told us about. So we're cruising it's about 3500. We've got locals cruising down. Hello machan [Bro]. Very nice people, everyone's got a big smile on their face. So yeah, excited. Honestly sometimes when this stuff happens where we get off at

the wrong one like I feel like it's meant to happen just so we can see like another side that you know no tourists are getting off of this area. So for us to be able to see this side, I’m sure we're gonna get a very unique drive through the mountains and it'll take us a little bit of time because we're at a rickshaw and so all uphill with all of our luggage plus two chicken biryani belly men here. Yeah I’m very, very hungry right now. Yeah same. And so yeah, that's where we're gonna be cruising guys, 3 500 to get us from the train station. So as you can imagine, that is I want to say 17 times the price of the train ticket by getting off the wrong station. So we've got some local people

working on the tea plantations. Hello and so yeah, we're cruising guys. I’ll keep you in the loop when we come across any more interesting stuff. Hello, nice locals all around here so I bet we'll have a lot of sporadic moments where the camera just pops out of nowhere. Alright, guys now we have retraced our steps back to Nanu Oya. And so we've got I would guess maybe 15-20 minutes until we get up to Nuwara Eliya and we're looking to find our hotel at the moment. We actually didn't

book anything. We're just gonna book it while we're cruising so this is the fun in traveling, you never know what's coming up next especially when you're playing completely last minute like us. But you can see, this is an incredible place like just these towering mountainous hills. I don't even know what you could find them as just covered in so much tea, really a magical place. So guys, we've just made it into the city center of Nuwara ella- Eliya saying that wrong for sure.

But we're about 1.4 kilometers away from where we're staying. We're staying at a place called Panoramic Holiday Seagull Complex, place is about 127 dollars for split between the two of us, for us to have like a two bedroom actually might even be three bedroom but that was the only option they had apartments. So I’m not gonna tell you anything else about it now just wait until we get there because it looks like it's gonna have a nice view of the city.

And oh my God, I’m getting hungry seeing these markets and these food shops haven't eaten anything yet today. Alright, machan [bro] thank you so much. We owe you- Oh you can pull in? Alright, sweet.

Hello machan, [bro] komada? [How are you?] Oh we're going in. Alright, we're going. We're hopping back in the cruise continues, and we're- we're gonna hondai [Good] right on in there. Yeah happy ammo right in there. Alright, and this is it, yeah machan [Bro]. Oh yeah, good booking through booking.com yeah. Name? Name’s Mac. Oh there we go, perfect. Let me get my stuff, yeah don't want to forget it. Yes, yes sir. Stootee my machan [Thank you bro]

appreciate it. Oh we've been hooked. We have been hooked I repeat. There we go. Oh officina. Alright, so we're entering into the office here, and we are- Alright, guys seems like this is an apartment complex so we've got our booking through booking.com but my guess is maybe like private apartments that have gone through booking.com like the central office. Must be like the management of the whole complex. We are figuring that out right now. Alright, so this is your place.

This is your place? No sir, I’m working here. Working here, very nice and what's your name? My name is Wahero. We're coming from we were just in Kandy. Yeah so now we're here in Nuwara Eliya for a night, Panoramic apartment it says up top. Oh yeah, that's a good sign. Oh something smells good, fresh curry. I think Harry’s gonna go taste some over

there. That's someone's house. [______] Oh alright, we are here. Okay, this looks like a vibe. Alright, guys let's take you for a tour of the place we're staying at like I mentioned just a little bit ago we are paying roughly 127 dollars so it's nearly 65 US dollars per person. And the nice part is you'll see here,

there are so many beds so had we had Luke and Ali here we could bring the cost even lower the place literally especially if you're couples and you're sharing like the same room you could literally fit like maybe 12 people here. So anyways, let's start with the tour. This is gonna be my room, got a little desk here. And oh, oh let's open this thing up. Do I see sunlight coming in? That looks like sunlight coming through. Guys this is the panorama- this place is called the Panoramic View Apartment in the Seagull Complex. So as you can see

here, we're getting a little breakthrough of sun. So I’m getting hopeful here guys, but anyways here is the bed. Let's check it out. Oh. Oh fell asleep there guys, we're back. We’re back and here we go, cruising through. We've got the British lad already working away and there's not no

days off. It's like he's back at boot camp. Let's go and then here's another balcony here, panoramic views. Obviously, those blinds right there open up, leather comfortable couches coming around this way we've got a little dining room here I guess you can call it even a work station fridge. It’s right there in the center, another bathroom, another bedroom and inside the bedroom, we've got bathroom. It looks like a laundry machine and a shower right there. So that is quite nice. Coming around this way, we've got the kitchen. So we'll probably not be doing too much cooking because we want to test

out the local cuisine but still nice to show you guys what it offers. I think it's a gas stove there, all the dishes, utensils you need and maybe this is another entrance out there coming around this way, we actually have a second floor more of like a loft I guess you could call it with a nice layout to it. You know these are like marble stairs leading up and where is your mood lighting up here. We've got plenty of space here. We've got one double bed here, a second double bed here. That's Ali

and Luke’s but they're not here. They're not showing up for it and then it looks like maybe even a game table, I have no idea what type of game this is but it looks like you try and slide it in the goals maybe. No, I have no idea how this plays maybe it's like some sort of air hockey. Let’s try it out. Yeah something like that, no clue guys then over here pop the lights on and another bed. So as you can see, you can pretty much fit two people on each one of those beds. So just up here in the

loft, obviously be a little tight but you could literally get six people up here plus the bedrooms downstairs so, so much room which is quite nice and that is the tour here. The Wi-Fi is pretty good. I just did a speed test on my phone as 20 megabytes megabits download and two megabits uploads are not great for a YouTuber but at least the download is fast enough. It's fast enough for be able to us to be able to upload a couple things overnight other than that we're a bit limited. So that is it, we're gonna head down to go get some food now.

So I’m going to actually change into a sweater and pants. I’m in shorts and a t-shirt because it's very cold so here we go. Whoa and we're bam, that was a fast way to change clothes right there guys, let's go get something to eat. So guys right there you can see a better view that is

where we're staying at. Me and the British lad are walking down the road here, you get a smell of many different things. I think it's almost like a smell of spices. It’s very, very inviting

and the town and the roads are pretty quiet here. It's a I don't even know what day to say Monday- Monday morning so maybe everyone's at work or- Oh wow the scent is so strong. It’s very distracting but nice. I wish one day on YouTube there'll be a way to share the smells. Whoa full speed ahead my guy.

Whoa, I guess the speed racers around here. So yeah, we're- we're kinda just strolling down the streets right now. Guys we haven't had any food yet today so we drove past a coffee shop that looked delicious in terms of the coffee and they also said they have a restaurant. So it's basically a double win if you ask me. Let’s see if we can flag one of these

tuk daddies though, nope. Hello. Oh they're nice. They'll give us a little honk but yeah, we're probably gonna eat there. I know it's probably not eating the local food here but we are in kind of like a somewhat of an English town it feels like so the Brit's back in heaven. And it makes sense because it is cloudy

too but apparently this time of year, we are being told that it's sunny every day and then like May, June, July, August, it rains all the time. So we're literally just unlucky that we're here on a rainy and a cloudy day but you know British people, they always bring the weather with them. Yeah but like I’ve been- I’ve been here for nearly a week now and I say 75% of those days been this weather. So yeah, I don't know guys they keep telling me that it's only for a few days but yeah maybe I did bring the weather with me. I think you did because before he arrived, it was sunny every day in Colombo, in Kandy never even saw any rain.

I don't even know if I saw any clouds in this guy. So yeah, guys we're gonna cruise down this way a little bit maybe we'll hop in a tuk-tuk maybe we'll end up getting the steps in. Honestly, it's probably good for the legs anyways and these biryani bellies so we'll see once we get a little closer. So guys, I just looked it up. We're going to the Nuwara Ella- Eliya I never know how to say it right. Yeah Nuwara Eliya Coffee Center place. So it's about a five minute walk

from where we're at actually. It's a nice walk over here. We've got some beautiful street art here probably from the local artists and just a pretty relaxing area. Since it's a smaller city, you don't have as much of the hustle and bustle. You still got tuk-tuks moving around, some people speeding but generally it's pretty relaxing. So we're coming up on the coffee shop here right now. It's a nice center spot in town here with a good looking vibe. It seems like there might even be two floors to enjoy a little coffee and some grub. So let's head on in

there. Oh yeah, it's smelling good guys. Looks like they've got sandwiches. Looks like they've got a bunch of good stuff here. Alright, maybe on the other side's where we get the grub. Hello my friend, how are you? Looking to get some food and coffee here. Yeah, yeah perfect upstairs is better view. Perfect. Stootee [Thank you]. Alright, so we've got the coffee bar

right up here, and we are heading up. It smells very good so we're gonna be quite pleased with it. Can we start out with two iced coffees please? Yes. Yeah let's do it. Thank you. Thank you. Alright, let's see what we got going on here for food over at the new our Nuwara Eliya Coffee Center and Restaurants. Honestly, it smells like they have a mix of a little bit of everything

breakfast options, soups, starters, pastas, noodles, rice. Oh yeah, we're gonna be in heaven bro. They even have za. Oh, oh man, you're gonna be ready for this? Sandwiches though probably gonna keep it light though because most days I’ve had quite a bit of food here. So we're gonna go ahead with- with a club sandwich I think. Oh or the pasta, the pasta's got my name on it. I’m gonna decide once he

comes up here, ask for his recommendation. Oh there we go, stootee [Thank you]. This looks delicious and we can have one more, yeah. Perfect. So two for me, one for him yeah. Stootee machan [Thank you bro]. Alright, this is- this is actually why I needed.

It tastes kinda warm. This is actually why I needed two coffees because when you look at this one, you look very closely and it might disappear on you. Oh no. Oh. Oh, oh. Is that warm? Perfect. Thumbnail right there. I did not expect this in 2022. Well, that was a failure guys. As you can see, this is one of my favorite shirts

and now it is destroyed fantastic well bam just cleaned it. How’d that happen? It's a secret, you'll never know. And for me machan [bro] could I please have the mixed noodles, that's a beef and chicken? Yeah. Oh perfect. Yeah just that and then two plates for the egg fried rice. It’s gonna be delicious, thank you. You

recommend it, it's a good one, good choice. What’s your name? My name is [_____] Okay that's nice to meet you, thank you so much. Oh that's looking delish. Oh this is the mixed one, perfect. Stootee machan [bro]. Oh yeah, that's fully loaded Chili, chili. Oh awesome so something a little spicy, spicy yeah it's spicy. Oh perfect. Alright, sorry excuse me. Do you have forks please? Thank you. Oh perfect, thank you my friend appreciate

it. Alright, guys so here we go. We're going to dig right into this nice massive meal, my first meal of the day honestly because today we started so early catching the train and just really never had a chance to get some food. So what we have here is mixed noodles. We've got some beef in there. We've got some chicken maybe hidden in there. Looks like some tomatoes maybe some shredded peppers, diced peppers and I’m just going to tell you what else I taste after I take a bite. I’m seriously so hungry.

Pretty good. I definitely expected a different flavor. That wasn't a g double o d. It was a little more plain than I expected. To be quite honest with you, not to say it's not good. It was just a bit

plain but I feel like we need to toss a little bit. This was like chili powder, peppers chili flakes maybe something like that. Thank you. Stootee machan [Thank you bro]. I mean we need to try that spice it up a little bit. Oh yeah, there we go. We're spicing it up a bit that's what we need. We need

to toss a little bit of that. Oh yeah, that's a trick. Oh perfect, thank you. We gotta make sure we have that in small pieces guys because it is a very hot. So whoa, it is pretty spicy here actually no, we're gonna- we're gonna go ahead and mix this in, get that going and then we will get a proper bite here.

There we go, much better. I needed that spice, there was something missing at first and it was the spice. I guess like every single Sri Lankan meal I’ve had at this point is quite spicy, and so the fact that the chili peppers were the chili flakes were aside from it was exactly the key ingredient. Alright, we're gonna get a little bit of this. Is this egg rice chicken fried rice? Egg rice. Egg rice. Alright, let's get a little bit nice hefty scoop there. Oh yeah, we'll leave half for the hair man but I gotta get a proper portion for myself there. Oh it's got a mind of its own kinda shooting

around there, and let's just go do the spoon because that's gonna make it a bit easier. Actually use that as a portion spoon here we go, let's try it out. That looks good. Oh yeah, that is quite nice but same thing as with the mixed noodles. We need some of that chili flakes in there. I’m

getting addicted to spices guys, I blame Sri Lanka but thank you. There we go. Oh yeah guys, I’m not gonna say it's the best one I’ve ever had but it's delicious especially with the chili flakes there, gives it a proper zing so good meal here. What are your thoughts bro you dug in a

little bit? Oh certified dank meal, I like the mix of the rice and the noodles. You know if you get bored of the noodles, you go for the rice. You get bored of the rice you go for the noodles, really good. It's not the most vibrant

meal I’ve ever had. You know so I’ve added a little tomato ketchup to it. I don't know if that's a you know a wrong thing to do sometimes when I was younger I used to add tomato ketchup to everything and people would tell me off for it but I think they gave it to me so I’m gonna try it, and I’m not sure what this is like marmalade. I think so it's super sweet or chutney maybe it's chutney maybe it's a marmalade. Is that for shrimp or something? Yes, you heard it guys and I think you'll know just by looking at my plate, I’ve only got like one or two bites left and so I was quite happy with the meal. I could have eaten anything though, I’m transparent with you because I am so hungry like I could probably get another plate but I’m watching the biryani belly. So I’m gonna skip that- skip that second plate but delicious guys, let's get on with the day after this so guys we've teleported outside. It's hanging out catching some fresh air here finishing

up the coffee with some views. So we can see what it's like as the busyness of the city continues to surround us. Seems like it's getting a bit more energetic in the town probably because it's getting to the end of the day so people are leaving work but anyways, the meal total for us was about four just under four thousand so thirty eight fifty so you round that up to four thousand. That's about twenty bucks ten bucks per person for us to eat at a nice place, a couple coffees and some good food so very nice. Alright, guys we'll toss our friends a little tip there on the meal 25% for the good people of the place, goodbye to the coffee place. That was a nice time, really nice staff there and that gave me the energy I needed because I was hungry. So guys, we're like kinda I guess right in the center, we've got a

clock tower there and it was just like in Kandy as soon as you're close to the clock tower that's how you know, it was the center. So guys, we're walking around the city area over here and we're kinda near the markets but actually I’ll be doing a market run in a separate video. So we won't take you to the markets for now. We're kinda just walking around and seeing like what- what this place has to offer. It seems like we're pretty close to the bus station and so we are gonna kinda walk around maybe find a little dessert maybe cruise up this way. What do you think bro, straight? Oh yeah. Alright,

let's see what's going on over here. Looks like we've got a bunch of shops up there. I wonder if we can get them to honk the horn. These are the crazy buses that go like super, super fast around here. Hello machan [bro]. Alright, we're cruising through here. If we hadn't just eaten, I’d probably get a little snacky snack over here. Whoa, we

got our guy honking at us. Subadawasak machan [Good day bro]. Oh he doesn't have the ones that make all the noise. Yeah, you go for it bro. It seems like they've got quite a few temples in the city here, a huge Buddha statue up top there.

It looks like a pretty decent sized temple here. Before going in, you just must know you need your trousers on. You need to take off your shoes. Yeah, let's do it. Oh yeah, take off the shoes and go for a cruise. Yeah, it's kinda a rhyme there. Almost fell. Alright, we'll take them with take them

with so no one snatches them. Oh wow, very strong with incense in here. As you can see, got the kids jumping around. Hello komada? [How are you?] Very nice. As you can see here guys, very strong with the incense, a lot of flowers here they're part of the offerings. So it looks like they have some oil set right here and actually they even have a tree in the center with the statue up top.

Man, that scent is so nice. Alright, guys fun little run through the temple to check that place out very beautiful. It's really enjoyable to check each one of those out and so yeah now we're gonna keep cruising down this way for a little bit, see what we run into.

It’s a more of a hustle and bustle from what I’ve noticed here in the evenings which makes sense. Everyone's getting off work maybe going to the markets walk in the streets. There's a lot of restaurants, a lot of shops down here. It's a very inviting city. I’m really enjoying walking around Nuwara Eliya and to be honest, I wasn't sure that I was gonna make it but how I even ended up here was because the train ticket actually was not available. They were like sold out for a couple weeks if you saw my earlier video so then they were like oh you can get a ticket out of Nuwara Eliya on Tuesday which is tomorrow. So we're like

alright, let's spend 24 hours over there. Hello machan [Bro]. And so yeah, now we are just kinda cruising through the neighborhood and so it all works out. You know sometimes the unplanned trips are the most exciting. So this is a fun way to get going through here you got a lot of markets shops and as you can see, these streets are literally filling up with so many more people than earlier.

Oh we've got machan [Bro] playing the drums over there. Oh yeah, there we go. There we go. Boom, boom. Very good performance. Oh good guys over here. If I had room for the drum, I would for sure have bought it. We got some street food going on back here. Looks like they're cooking in some oil, getting some stuff going on man we screwed up since we just ate. Yeah, I know. Like that smells very, very good. Now I think we're back at the center. We've got the clock tower here, and we're gonna see what else

we can find. Guys yeah my first impression is this place is definitely an English town because as you can see here, Windsor Hotel that's an English name. There is a lot of them. I don't know if I mentioned on the drive-in, there's Eden Borough, Eden Brow. I’m probably saying that wrong

and now we have that, and there's a lot of the just the cottage style architecture that you see in the UK but it's got the Sri Lankan twist here but it's a cool city, fun vibe overall, very lively and if you're into gonna the pubs the Windsor hotel at a pub, we got another pub in a restaurant right there. So there's no shortage on having some fun out here in Nuwara Eliya. Yeah all over the town though, you can find lots of markets here but it seems like they shut down pretty early here. I’m seeing more and more of these shops are closing up for their last sales of the day. I don't know if this place is much of a night town unless you go over to the pubs, a little desserts too. Oh yeah, I’m getting pretty tempted here fresh coconuts. I’ve noticed

there's a lot of little markets plus there's also like more of the larger chain grocery store. It's kinda like mixed into the city. Up there, there's food city I recognize that one. Oh we got them starting up food city, I’ve noticed in basically all the major cities a big grocery store party central up there but we're gonna cross the street here. I feel like every time, we're changing up, we're on that side looking for stuff and then all of a sudden the markets are on this side. So let's see if they've got anything interesting to buy here. Oh a little shoe store, that could be tempting. We're gonna see

what else we can find up around here. Alright, well we've got fresh bags here. Hello my friend. Hello. Nice bags here yeah. Oh alright, maybe we'll get a

another camera bag over here. Puma bag up there, that's not a bad- bad idea. They look like pretty high quality, 2 000 for the bag, that's a good price. That is nice. Alright, let's see if there's anything else. Hello

my friend. Oh fresh white shoes that's not a bad idea. These look pretty nice. Do you have any all white shoes? Sorry. Hello machan [Bro]. Hello machan [Bro]. Hello you have any all white shoes

like this? Yeah, all white because this one's- oh this one's all white. Four thousand three ninety five, you have something a little less expensive? See we've got a lot of options here. We’ve got flip-flops. We've got leather shoes up there, and we've got the sneakers, athletic shoes on this side. Komada machan? [How are you bro?] So let's see here guys, I’m trying to figure out what I should buy because I’m liking the shoes options they have here.

Ideally, we get something like maybe this, see what the prices are. It looks a little dirty though so maybe we're gonna check out. Do you have any less expensive than those? For now we have only these white shoes. Only those yeah okay. Alright, alright well, maybe I’m gonna keep looking then. Alright,

machan [Bro]. See you can I know your YouTube channel? Yeah, yeah of course. It's you have a phone? Yeah. You gotta get the like, subscribe and notifications on. Okay.

Perfect. Stootee machan [Thank you bro] There we go, okay. Good luck. Thank you machan [bro]. Good man over here, take care my friend. See you, see you. Guys we're gonna keep looking. The white shoes I found were about 4 300 so they were a little bit more than I want to spend. I wanna say, I’ve got those back in the US for a little bit

less than that and so because they're white shoes, they get destroyed quite easily and I don't want to spend too much on them which 4300 guys keep in mind is still only like 22 dollars but wearing them out here, they could get destroyed quite easily. So we got sweaters over there, shoe repair maybe they do shoe cleanings here. Let's see. Hello machan [Bro]. Thank you my friend. How are you? Good and you? Do you guys do shoe cleanings or just shoe sales? Just shoe sales. Just shoe sales okay, you have any all white shoes here, similar to these? Do you have any that are all white because that's black here? Oh poma, yeah so it's similar to puma but it's poma. Oh that's a nice one, yeah. How much do you sell these for? 3 990.

Okay if they were a bit cheaper maybe but since they're not all white. Yeah, yeah. I’m looking around, three thousand. Oh these are some interesting styles here. Look at this thing, whoa it looks like these shoes are on fire. Wow, how much do these sell for? Four thousand six hundred. Okay wow, that is a unique design right

there. I like them. What's your good name? Abdul Haq. Nice to meet you. Komada? [How are you?] Yeah, I’m hondai [Good]. From the US. Yeah and you from here in Nuwara? Yeah it's a nice place, very nice place. So let's see what about these ones here, we've got waxing fashion. The design is changed but

this is same. Yeah same thing. Okay 3 900 rupees, we give 3 500 rupees. This one the thing is I’m just looking for all white. Do you know anywhere that does shoe

cleanings? No. Okay. Oh I’m gonna keep looking maybe I’ll come back okay. We’ll see you because as you can see, my shoes got quite, quite dirty there so was gonna see if we could locate a shoe cleaner. In this area but so far no luck, yet really nice people though in all these shops. That’s my impressions of this place that everyone's welcoming. I feel like people like being on camera here quite a bit more than some of the other places I’ve been in Sri Lanka. Sometimes people shy

away a little bit maybe it's just because of it's a language barrier but after being in Pakistan like I’m used to everyone just loving, love and loving being on camera and so hey nothing wrong with it just, just my impressions of it. So we're still looking. We lost the British lad somewhere. He's probably out buying some stuff but we're going down a little bit more this way and we shall see here. Oh alright, we've got some gloves here. Yeah alright. Oh nice gloves, yeah. Oh the ones with the fingers cut off. How much are you selling

these ones for this one is 400. 400 okay yeah, let me- let me buy these ones then please,. yeah Yeah I’ll take those ones. You want these? Yup so that way I can still text with them right since the fingers are cut. Perfect, perfect. Alright, so we're getting ourselves a fresh pair of gloves here guys figured it gets chilly here at night so might as well warm up the hands a bit, see what we got here do we have 400 already we're about to find out. That's two, we got another two in there that's three and that is four right there. Alright, oh there we go machan [Bro] 400, Stootee [Thank you] We’ll try these bad boys on right now. Let's get them on. We got one. Oh

looks like we got a tag on the inside. There we go, got her out and I’d say those fit quite nicely. There we go. We're warming up, let's try out the other one. Oh yeah. That’s what I’m talking about. Guys as you can see, fresh new pair of gloves still team machan [bro]. What's your good name? Thank you Ahmed, we'll see you later.

Alright, that is great guys fresh new pair of gloves. These will come in handy while we're both here and then I heard down in Ella where we're gonna be heading in a couple videos that it gets quite cold there at night. So have something to keep us warm for a bit that doesn't take up too much room in the suitcase is a good purchase here. The British lad, hello sire.

I need a chicken thigh. Oh yeah, bro new purchase. Oh check them out. Yeah bro new pair of gloves here. What’d you find anything? Some Calvin- oh Ralph Lauren socks. Oh man, this guy's living on the highlight yeah.

Here we go. Yeah I guess we're gonna keep walking down this way guys see if there's anything else we've- we've checked out a few places so far since we were here only in the afternoon. We were a bit limited on some of the things we could check out because obviously it was raining when you first saw when we arrived here plus it was only like four or five hours until the sun went down so there's my machan [bro]. Stootee [Thank you].

And so yeah, we're gonna cruise a bit more and see if there's anything else interesting to show you guys tonight. There’s a lot of wine stores I’ve noticed, get your beers, get your bottles of alcohol anything you want there. Komada machan? [How are you bro?] Hi, hey tuk-tuk driver takes us for a joyride. Guys we're cruising back and it looks like our coffee shop, we're at a little bit ago is now getting a little evening vibe. Komada [How are you?] my friends? Perfect, perfect. They've got a fire bonfire pit outside there. So I guess there is a little bit of excitement here

at night, quite a bit a bit more than Kandy because I will say Kandy shut down pretty early but there were a few places as you saw in one of the videos when we went up to Slightly Chilled, they could do some stuff but you can feel it's a bit more lively. It is well like 6, 7 p.m. 7 p.m. 7:30 ish yeah 7 o'clock. Yeah so I guess, it is still relatively early but yeah we're kind of walking back towards our place. And bam guys, just teleported back to the hotel or apartments or I guess Airbnb that we're staying at not Airbnb, booking.com. I’m tired today but anyways guys, yeah my first impressions overall like to sum it up a very beautiful mountain town and I’m so shocked, we were here on the only cloudy day so is what it is but just walking around the locals were super nice here, welcoming. A lot of tourists here, definitely like saw a lot of foreigners

on the streets walking around. So I’m sure that's because everyone wants to come and see what it's like in the heart of the tea plantation or the city that surrounds basically all the tea plantations. So yeah, a really cool place I- if we had more time in the schedule, I would probably wanna stay maybe two nights, three nights and that would probably be a good enough amount of time I guess there's a mountain you can check out. There is also the tea plantations of course, you can go and do a full tour of them so maybe, maybe I’ll do that in an upcoming video when we kinda wrap back around like after goal. We'll see though, you know like unfortunately, fortunately and unfortunately I have so much ground to cover over the next basically three weeks that I think I’ll still be here and during that time, I’ve got a lot to see. I did do if you were watching the series for what I did already do a tea factory tour which is awesome, learned a lot about tea and so that was a lot of fun but here in the heart of where all of the tea exports come from where the majority of it comes from would be also an incredible experience. So we'll try and do that guys but

yeah in general, a really cool place if you can fit into your itinerary definitely do it and you know the train right here if you saw that in a previous video too so much fun. So that's where I’m at here guys, thank you so much for watching. As always if you enjoyed this video, make sure that like button below.
