I don't know why, but I love these things so much because like you get a fresh toothbrush and toothpaste every morning. Life is good! Good morning, YouTube! So I'm back vlogging on the Canon G7X. Dan is actually asleep right now because he's been working hard. He's been doing a lot of editing, so I want to let him sleep in, give him a break, because also the time zone here. Ireland and UK are like 8 hours behind, so that's been kind of messing us up a little bit. And I also miss vlogging on my little vlog G7X camera because I always say if I had like a million subscribers, I would still just vlog on, you know, a handheld camera because it's just— it's a lot more personal, you know. It's how I've done most of my vlogs, and you know, it's kind of— there's a bit of relationship between you and the viewer. So anyways, it is the morning time. I just woke up, and now we are moving on to our final destination in Seminyak. And some people I think commented were like, is moving around not a bit of hassle? And I definitely think it keeps the holiday fresh, it keeps the content interesting. So I really like moving around. So I'm gonna try get an early workout here in the gym because the gym is really good here, as you guys saw yesterday. Then we are gonna make our way to Seminyak. Let's go! Getting it done. Also, comment down below— oh, sorry, I'm eating beef jerky. Hold on. Let me know if you'd be interested in me like sitting down with Ben and going through the camera equipment we use, how we edit videos, and just what goes in behind the scenes. This, the Smada, one of my favorite places to stay ever. Um, it's very, very different to Ubud. Like, Ubud is like really jungly, like, and this is very kind of modern and clean and stuff, but two different vibes completely. You know, you can't really compare the two. And look at this, right? This is the gym. Imagine your gym looked like this and has a pool just right outside. Has anyone ever seen The Rock's gym? Dwayne Johnson. So damn cool. Gym goals. But this is also epic, so right, session. All right, so awesome workout. I really do love that gym. There's something about it. And definitely because now after a workout, I get to jump in the pool. All right, so it is now 11 AM. Checkout is at 12, and then we're getting picked up by a driver. So let's go. Thank you so much. We had such a nice day. OK, so we nearly had a bit of a disaster there. We came in, really nice, and then the guy, some French guy, he was like, oh, just one thing, the Wi-Fi is not working. And we all just kind of like face dropped because, as discussed in the last video, you know, my life is online, be it YouTube, my website. Social media, everything. So I nearly like lost my shit, but I was just, you know, had to be like, okay, Wi-Fi is very important to us. So he was kind of saying like it won't be ready, it's, you know, not his fault, which is fair enough, and it wasn't gonna work. So I turned on my Wi-Fi and, you know, I'm always thinking one step ahead, and basically I saw this random Wi-Fi come up, it was like Global Developments, and I was like, what's that? And he was like, oh, it's the business next door. And I was just like, hold on, Pierre, I got this. So we just walked into the place next door, you know, I just took my Irish charm out, and I was just kind of like, hey, it's a bit of an emergency, really need to borrow your Wi-Fi. And we got it all sorted. The girls in there were so nice, and they gave us their password, and it's really fast. So we are just delighted now. Uh, we're gonna unpack, and I'll show you around quickly. There's not much to show as it's so open. I've been wearing this t-shirt so much as well, like, I, I just keep finding and throwing it on. It was on the top of my bag. So yeah, you come in, everywhere in Bali has cool doors and Palm trees and plants everywhere. So you come in, we got all that, and then we got some sun loungers here. The only thing that needs a bit of work is the grass, but who really gives a shit? Swimming pool, which is clean, is good. This really cool open-air kitchen, and I actually might do some cooking here as well. I, you know, I love cooking. Waters fridge, Sarah Godfrey not included. Uh, just really nice kind of lounge area, a kick-ass mirror that is very cool. More plants. Uh, Ben's bedroom, our bedroom, outdoor shower, also cool. And then we got a really nice outdoor bathroom here. So come in here, there's like clothes and stuff, ladder. I wonder where, you know, that's for. Exciting secret passage. And then yeah, so we got like this really cool wooden deck, uh, this sink that looks like a rock. What are they gonna do next? And then there's like an outdoor shower here. So I really like it, and we're gonna explore the kind of place around it, like the perimeter. So hopefully we're near the beach and shops and stuff. So let's go. Okay, supermarket. Yeah, where's the closest one? Mini market? Yeah, mini market over there. Yeah, and you turn left. Left. Thank you. Thank you. All right, so we are trying out the local cuisine. And, uh, this is meant to be a Balinese tradition. I made that up. Uh, it's the salt and seaweed Pringles. So me and Sarah are gonna try one. I really like that. Yeah, lovely. That was so nice. What's it like? Try it. Yeah, I just like— it's like sushi. Yeah, yeah, seaweed. I don't know, salty, salty seaweed. Yeah, that's really good. I'm all over that Pringles salt and seaweed. It's a yes from us. I still prefer it. We're also gonna stick to the normal. Yeah. All right, looks good. Oh, this is my license. Yeah. Yay! And just like that. Yeah, the one, all one. Yep. And this. All right, cheers. Thank you so much. That was excellent. Thanks. Okay, so, uh, we were renting mopeds for I think the next day or two, uh, so they gave us the keys there, no questions asked, just there you go, you mean the open road. So now we're going to like explore a little bit because we've got transport. All right, that's mine, it's yours. Let's go. That's a chick magnet. This is how you install GPS into a moped, open up Google Maps, and you put it right there. And mine isn't, uh, upgraded enough for that. Okay, so continuing on with our Seminyak tour. This is like, it's like a food crawl, but we're just going to all the places that you guys recommended. And this place is like a Nalu Bowl, and they make like— hello there, sir— they make like, I don't know how to describe them, they're like açaí bowls That's what they're called, but they're kind of like fro-yo made from like berries and a load of ingredients. They're delicious anyway, so I'll show you what we're getting. And they also like photograph great. All right, this is like what I eat in a day Bali edition. So right, let's test out Nalu Bowls. All right, let's get some granola. Strawberries, some banana. Okay, that's a good bite. Mm, so refreshing after a day in the sun. I'm such a foodie. Oh my God, I'm happy. I would watch you stare. I would watch you stare. Oh, but there's no one there. We can figure this out. Put your feet down. Hey, what's up? Good. You got the games? Yeah. Looks great to meet you. How's things? That's perfect. Thanks, Rob. Thanks so much. Have a nice evening, guys. Bye-bye. See you. We got the goods. All right, let's see what we got. All right, so this is from Gourmet Café in Seminyak. I know, smells good, doesn't it? So we got stuff like— the menu's awesome, by the way. So there's like cheeseburgers, more cheeseburgers, a fit— this is called a fitness plate. I was intrigued by this because I do fitness. Okay, yes, that is what's up. Nailed it. Also got a chicken salad as well. So huge shout out to The Hookup. Wow. Oh, what's this? I don't know, but it smells good. All right, let's dig in. Okay, give me thumbs up. Oh Jesus, the hell is that? Is he gone behind there? Yeah, he wants to be in the vlog. You going? Yeah, there's a lot of— there's a lot of wildlife around here. All right guys, wrapping things up here. I hope you enjoyed the vlog and I hope it was a nice balance between fun, fitness, food, mopeds, travel, and moving around in general. So as always, thank you for watching. I'll see you in the next one. Keep it real.
