We hope you enjoyed this video as much as we enjoyed our time exploring Colombo! Welcome to our channel and thanks for watching. 🙏 Here is the link to our entire Sri Lanka series, so keep watching as there will be many more videos to come from this amazing country!! ❤🇱🇰
Sri Lanka Travel: czcams.com/play/PLCmNbKU5iMrm1426S5ltprrISCZunP-BF.html
Hello
18:03 Viharamahadevi park used to be Victoria Park back then named after Queen Victoria, they even had a statue of Queen Victoria which was replaced by the Golden Lord Buddha Statue in 1958.
Wow 😳 That is so interesting to learn. Thank you for sharing with us. 🙏. I love it when local people teach us new things. 😊 The Buddha statue is very beautiful. Now I have to learn to say Viharamahadevi because I found it very difficult. 🤣
Thanks for the information. 🙏❤️🇱🇰
So much fun! Love Colombo! Wonderful history! Thanks for sharing.
We're so pleased you enjoyed this video, Maria! We loved Colombo, and had such a great time in SriLanka. There'll be loads more videos to come 🤗🇱🇰♥️
Hello 😃
I’ve just discovered your channel & I am so pleased to see my beautiful Sri Lanka on CZcams !
I grew up in this beautiful country; Lived 18 beautiful years on this incredible island, and even though I am not Sri Lankan by blood, I am definitely Sri Lankan by heart ❤️
Cannot wait to see what you’ll be exploring next ! I’m sure you’ll love it!
Have fun & stay safe 😊

Hi Emilie and welcome to our channel. 👋. It makes us so happy to know people get a lot out of watching our videos when they watch them. I can understand how you can feel Sri Lankan at heart. It's such a wonderful country. 💕🇱🇰. We are making many more videos of our adventures here so keep watching and we are sure that you will enjoy them. 😍
Best wishes, Lee and Mandy ❤️
As a British Sri lankan, I watch many Sri Lankan vlogger videos and you are right there!!!Excellent!!! Thank you for showing around my country. I live in Poland, so its nice to see your videos
That's so great to hear that you got a lot of pleasure from this video. 😍. There will many more covering many other parts of Sri Lanka during our 7 weeks travelling there. We hope you enjoy them too. 🙏❤️
We spent 4 months in Krakow during the beginning of covid in 2020 and loved it there. 😁
@@FrugalTravellers I live Krakow :) . It is an amazing city. Wish you both safe travels
The building and church architecture is beautiful. I would be nervous crossing the streets. 😂 A lot of people in Colombo speak English. The price for food and electronic stuff is very reasonable. Mandy and Lee, thank you for sharing the fun and informative video. ❤
Hi Sue 👋😊
Yes it's such a fascinating place with amazing architecture and a really interesting mix of religions. The level of education is high so many people speak English thankfully. 🙏 Prices are incredibly reasonable here so it is really a paradise for the frugal traveller. ❤️🎉🇱🇰❤️
Hi Mandy & Lee,
😮 I AM EXTREMELY IMPRESSED by this vlog or should I say by Colombo.
Beautiful buildings & parks, pretty clean, appetising food, extremely affordable, lovely people.
That said, they need to regulate traffic / add pedestrian crossings!
I can easy understand cheap locally produced food BUT when I see cheap equipment (power adapter / phone cover), all I think is how ripped off we are.
Catch you guys later, take care 🙋🏻♂️
Hi Sergio,
Glad you enjoyed it as much as we did there. 😍. It's a vibrant place full of life and every moment is a sensory overload there. One of the things I love best about travelling to new places. 😊
The council have recently made new rules about street cart vendors not being able to set up on certain roads to try and relieve the traffic chaos. I see why tuk tuks are definitely a better option than cars to help keep traffic moving and there are more and more electric ones showing up now.
It sure is a bargain place to pick up tech, clothes etc... The sort of place that's worth arriving with an empty backpack and shopping for all your needs once you get here. 😊
Have a fine weekend. 😍
The Dutch Museum is an absolute gem in the middle of chaotic Pettah. It was open until recently but perhaps closed these days for renovation.
Thank you for putting out good imformative content,hope your well
Thank you so much, Julie, and welcome to our channel! It was lovely to see you in the Premiere today, and we really appreciate your positivity and your wonderful feedback! There are loads more Sri Lanka videos to come, and we hope you enjoy them 🤗♥️🇱🇰
Thanks for showing us around Colombo. I’m always impressed how you both admire colonial architecture. It’s very beautiful but not always appreciated. Cheers. 👋🏻
Hi Lucchesse. 😁. We really enjoyed Colombo and in fact a lot of Sri Lanka is full of colonial gems. One of my favourite remnants of colonial times there is the railways which we will be showing in some detail. Living history! 😍😍
@@FrugalTravellersYes, those railways in SL are something to admire. 🚂
Here before watching the video but I already can tell it's gonna be a nice one I remember watching Harald Baldr videos on markets I believe also Sri Lanka ones, funny and interesting.
Hello Pocahoetaz 👋 It's always so lovely to see your comments. I haven't watched those videos but I'm sure they're very entertaining as Sri Lankan markets are so full on. I hope you enjoy this one 🤗😁 ~ Mandy
You two are very pleasant to the eyes, always smiling 🥰 Warmly welcome to Sri Lanka 🇱🇰
Thank you so much for your kind words, Thilini 🇱🇰♥️
Watching on the tv with IB. I’m sure we had rounded three pin plugs like that in old days UK? There was one in our kitchen in my childhood home by the cooker.
Come to think of it, I remember them fron Nan's house. 🤔
Nice vlog... Lovely couple..... Enjoy... Love from Sri Lanka
Thank you, Chandana, for your lovely comment! We had an amazing time in Sri Lanka, and there'll be many more videos to come ♥️🇱🇰
Wow. I’m a new subscriber to your channel ( came from Planet Imo )😊. What a bustling and vibrant city! It’s fascinating. I don’t think I would ever get across those streets though. You’d find me trapped on a corner forever waiting to cross 😂
Welcome over to our Channel, Ayela. Lovely to have you onboard. 😍 Any friend of Imo is a friend of ours! ❤️
It certainly is a vibrant place alright and just crossing the street is an adventure in itself. Sometimes it's better to just shut your eyes and hope for the best. 🤣🤣
Love your videos. Not regular touristy stuff but meaningful content. I was born and brought up in Colombo but never been to the council building 😂
Thank you 🙏. We love to explore the back streets of a place and always look for something different. Travelling slowly allows you to go a little deeper. 😍. We were really surprised about how nice Colombo is. 😊👍
I live in Colombo and I learnt about so many places to visit from your video. You guys are always smiling and enjoying things we take for granted. Lovely to see and makes me see Colombo in a new perspective!
Thank you 🙏 We enjoyed our time here so much. It was a very positive experience and all the people we met were kind and friendly towards us. ❤️. We only have good things to say about it. 🙏😍. Looking forward to showing much more. 😁
I have been starting to watch your channel just recently, and now your Sri Lankan series is brilliant. Literally, you're both visiting amazing ancient buildings, and it's beautiful .Be honest. I'm Sri Lankan ,but I have never been such an amazing place. Thank you for showing this incredible places. Subscribed.
Hello and welcome to our channel. 🙏. We've enjoyed Sri Lanka so much and we are really excited to be able to show a lot more of our travels here. We hope you enjoy too. 🙏❤️🇱🇰
Oooh I love sunsets wonderful to see some in the video, Thank You Lee & Mandy
You can't beat a good sunset and this is a perfect place for it. Thanks for watching 🙏❤️
When I return to Sri Lanka for my next holiday, your videos will be my tourist guide ... thankyou.
Thank you so much, Roger. I hope our videos will be of use to you. There are plenty more Sri Lanka videos to come. What an amazing country! 👍😊
Finally the video 😂👍👍
Hope you enjoyed it. Thanks for coming along. 🙏❤️🇱🇰
@@FrugalTravellers certainly did ❤️🙏
12:13 that's the old town hall. 17:47 the white building is the new town hall. The area is actually known as Town Hall (part of Cinnamon Gardens). But we no longer have the "town hall" concept but rather it is now the Colombo Municipal Council, which serves kind of similar functional purpose.
Thanks 🙏 I'd quite like a look inside the new town hall to compare the difference. 😊. I wish we'd spent more time around Cinnamon Gardens. It seems a lovely area. A city like Colombo really deserves at least a week to just scratch the surface. I'm looking forward to returning one day. 🙏❤️
@@FrugalTravellers yes it's a city with so much history, culture, and recreation to offer! Glad your'll went off the beaten track to explore its hidden gems, rather than just limiting yourselves to the posh malls and fancy restaurants, which are available everywhere else in the world.
Always smiling couple♥️
Thank you so much, Vxy 🙏😊🤗

Once you return your country, please show the same kindness and respect our people given you to all brown-skin immigrants there. Thank you.
Hello dd. That goes without saying... politeness and kindness to all people is an essential part of life.
Are you guys in England now?
Hello Srimal. We're currently housesitting back in Portugal, and are busy editing all of our Sri Lanka videos, as there's loads more to come 🤗😊
Hi
Hello Fathi 👋😊🙏
Wow this looks just like typical south Indian cities... I'm amazed how similiar we are 😯
Yes I think that is so true. So many similarities. 🙏. We haven't been in India since 1996 but I'm sure it is still very similar. We loved Kerala. ❤️
@@FrugalTravellers but to be honest Sri Lanka is more clean.
British colonialism always leave a water mark of there creation of what they build whether it is a Parliament building or a White House or even a Colonial Hotel with similar architecture, if you take Colombo Parliament building for example the water mark of the building is the statue in front, plus the yellow junction box that you walked through is British design.
Funny enough.
This is so true. One of my favourite buildings is Victoria station in Bombay/Mumbai. A true work of art. ❤️
