Hi Guys!
I know it's been a long time since I last had a vlog on this channel.
Uh, oh no.
It's actually drizzling.
OK bad time to start but I am going to say what I want to say anyway.
I always vlog here whenever I travel & in the last few months I haven't really travelled
anywhere.
And... the rain is getting heavier.
Way to go, weather!
I'm going to be spending today & tomorrow with Google.
I hope you guys can ignore the annoying rain.
We're on the first stop of our road trip which is the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation.
This place has one of the most gigantic flags ever, it's really really tall...
I don't remember exactly how tall.
So now that we saw the spot & we clicked our pictures, we're going to head back into our
vehicle, yeah let's do that.
So we've made a few stops since I last spoke to you guys & right now we're at this beautiful
little pottery shop somewhere in Lonavala.
It feels like a very rural area but I guess vehicles pass by here.
By the time you see this vlog, uh... this pottery shop will be up on Google Maps & if
you're driving past, you can check it out, they have some beautiful Indian as well as
contemporary stuff.
So...
I probably should have vlogged & checked in earlier, I'm in my room now but I was just
too busy enjoying this room, it's so gorgeous and it was just nearing sunset so I was just
outside enjoying it.
Now that it's pretty much gotten dark, I thought it's high time I speak to you guys, now since
this is a spa retreat, there isn't any bright light anywhere here, which is nice if you
want to relax but not really great if you want to vlog.
I kind of brushed upon why I'm on this trip already, I'm here with Google; Google Maps
to be more specific & it's just about learning all the features of Google Maps.
I only knew two of the features mainly.
I knew that you could navigate with it & I knew that you could take maps, parts of the
map offline in India, which is a really useful feature if you're not going to be having network
connectivity, you can just download the map parts when you have wifi & then you can use
it even if you're not getting any 3G or anything like that.
But today we were briefed on so many more.
We were briefed on the public transport map, which is so good!
So in Mumbai if you want to use Mumbai Metro, you want to use the railway, you want to use
the buses, there's so much of information built into the app.
When I was in college I remember, I paid seperately for an app that would help me with all bus
routes & now it's all inbuilt into one app, that is amazing.
So we've been making a lot of pit stops on our journey from Mumbai, so many along the
way, to explore every separate feature of the map whether it's adding in a new location,
getting recommendations or anything like that.
And we've been communicating on Allo.
Finally we reached our resort, where we're going to be staying for tonight, it's the
Hilton Shillim Spa Resort, the last leg on the way to this resort, the last few kilometres
was kind of rough ok because there were a lot of ghats, there were a lot of hairpin
bends, steep turns, the road was a little bit bumpy here & there.
It was not the best, in that aspect.
I've had worse, it reminded me of when I travelled to Ooty, & the experience is like that, the
view was exhilarating, but the actual journey part was not that great.
But when we reached the resort, everyone just put down their bags and gathered up at one
corner because the view was like, out of this world amazing, ok?
It was just kind of... indescribable.
And this resort is really so big, (they told us it's like 350 acres or something), that
they had to drop us in our rooms by a car, they drove us in a nano.
The only resorts that I've ever seen before that were this large were when my parents
took me on a trip to Florida, many years ago, I was in school, we went to Orlando, & Disneyworld.
So there we had stayed in a couple of places that was really this big large, but I've never
seen anything like this in India, where the resort is so spread out, now I should kind
of show you guys my experience, leading up to the room & the room tour.
So they just dropped me at my villa now.
And it's somewhere there, it's one of the rooms there, I don't know which one it is.
I can't wait to see my room, this is like something else.
I'm too excited.
OK, so I just took a round around my room, to switch on any lights, because the place
is still really moody & dark.
So I don't know which side... should I show you guys the bedroom first?
This is the living / bedroom.
Huge TV here.
And look at this guys!
The beds have canopies.
Oh my God!
So there are two single beds & I'm going to have to choose which one to sleep in tonight.
There is a beautiful, large sofa here.
Let's just get this blind up.This serves to bring in so much natural light into the room.
Such a beautiful way to sit inside & still enjoy the greenery.
Here's the private balcony, so there's also a separate screen door, I guess to protect
you from mosquitoes, because there must be a lot of insects here.
Now that you guys have seen this area, let me show you what you would see if you turned
right instead of left.
First is the bathroom area here.
Over there is the toilet, the commode, behind a nice glass door.
And I love that there are two basins here, because that's rare.
And if there are two people, you can get ready at the same time, you don't have to wait for
each other.
Here's the tub guys.
Here's a shower, but if you think that this shower isn't fancy enough for you, let me
show you the better shower.
This is the outdoor rain shower - check this out guys, you can bathe with nature all around
you.
Kinda crazy.
Pretty amazing though, if you ask me.
It's definitely going to take a little while for me to take this all in.
I think I'm just going to spend the next hour absorbing the amazingness of this place.
So it's quarter to eight & I'm about to head to the reception area for dinner.
I'm pretty hungry right now, I'm actually bordering on hangry - you know when you get
so hungry that you get kind of angry & want to eat anything?
I've reached that stage now.
And I've just worn my new sweatshirt that I bought from H&M recently, I think it was
maybe a month ago.
But they are two of my absolute favorite things, which are cats & sushi on one sweatshirt so
of course I bought it at once & am wearing it now, I hope it's not too warm out there.
I didn't want to walk to the reception now at night when it's pretty dark & risk possibly
getting lost so I called for a car, you can do that whenever you want & apparently it
has arrived.
So it is almost midnight & I've just reached back to my room.
We had an amazing barbeque - they have a couple of restaurants but we had like a private,
open air setting, which was really really nice.
Right now the only debate in front of me is should I take a shower or should I have a
bath in the tub?
Also since you guys seem to ask this question a lot, I'll quickly show you just the five
products I've bought for bath time with me, of course they do have a shower gel & shampoo
here, but this is the stuff that I'm carrying with me, so I'm using the Rene Furterer Naturia
shampoo & Karité conditioner.
I mainly carried these because they're close to finishing, so they're good to take for
travel rather than taking something full.
This is the Forest Essentials bath & shower oil - Mashobra Honey & Vanilla, this is really
nice to put on while you're having a bath &I knew that it was going to be a bit chilly
up here, which it is, that's why I carried this.
This is the face wash I'm using, La Roche Posay Effaclar Face Wash for oily sensitive
skin & for moisturiser, I'm using Kronokare's Bash The Gloss moisturising face cream for
oily skin.
Good Morning Guys!
So it's day 2 of the trip & I tried to wake up pretty early today but that didn't happen
because the bed was so cosy & it's also kind of naturally chilly here, I turned off the
air conditioner before going to sleep but it
was still really, really cold & I stupidly carried pretty flimsy nightwear, which is
my mistake, so should not have done that.
I woke up in
the morning to sunrise & the sound of birds, I set my GoPro to take
a timelapse & went
back to sleep.
