Hot Air Balloon Highs & Sleeper Train Lows in Egypt With Trovatrip 🇪🇬 VLOG

[@beckyduff]

This looked like such a fun trip, but all the early mornings would have killed me!

[@wisecraic]

Not everyone stocking kindles in preparation then proceeding to read just about nothing 😂

[@wisecraic]

So glad to get to meet you on this adventure ❤

[@BeccaandTheBooks]

And you read your monster smut on your phone anyway 😔

[@wisecraic]

@BeccaandTheBooks 40% of my translated horror book was consumed via the Kindle! But yes. Mostly phone reading 😂

[@msellenandrea]

"Some years ago, some things happened" pretty much sums up the entirety of history 😂

[@tanellenash7383]

I feel you about business class; my husband and I just came back from the UK (Canada) and we did business class both ways and it was 1000% worth the investment

[@CompletelyMelanie]

I'm with you about sleeper trains. I took one from Innsbruck Austria to Amsterdam Netherlands and it was probably the worst night sleep of the entire 3 month trip we were on.

[@plushieangela]

I totally get you when it comes to gastric issues and their involvement with sleep and mental health. Its a daily challenge for me

[@cat.book.nook.]

I feel like it's often underestimated how stomach issues can suck out your energy. :(

[@Diamondz_and_Katz]

TOTALLY jealous right now!!! Visiting Egypt has been on my bucket list for years. Glad you were able to go and have a great time.

[@parkercrystal1]

I had stomach issues when I was in China. It was awful. My gut just wasn't used to the bacteria. I was on a tour bus with a bunch of old Chinese folks and they were fine, every time we had to stop for me to go to the bathroom they were so kind. I had to use road side toilets with no doors and someone would always block off the doorway for me so I had privacy. But super embarrassing and not fun.

[@woongfairy]

loved this vlog! you did such a nice job of capturing all the moments 💞

[@dropofgoldentarot]

I noticed in the bookstore in Luxor all the Elizabeth Peters books. I have read all of those!! And yes they are murder mysteries, but that is not the draw. They take place late 1890-1910's, the FMC is a spunky, smart women (the main female character in The Mummy movie must have been inspired by these books) and they are in Egypt every season on an archeological dig. And the characters, relationships (which continue to develop over the series) and the history makes it a lot of sassy fun. But its the banter and chemistry between Amelia and Emerson that make the books so enjoyable!

[@christinah3332]

I was exhausted for you while watching this 😂 pretty amazing that all of that is still standing!

[@BecxReadz]

That falucca was my least looking forward to thing but ended up being one of my favorite things too. It was great to get to know you a little bit before Zanzibar

[@BeccaandTheBooks]

Right?! Ended up being so much better than any of us expected 😂 Can’t wait to see you again in Zanzibar 🏝️🏝️

[@gemmab3715]

Already said this on Gav' vlog, but I'm soooo jealous you all got to go on this trip! A friend and I nearly chickened out of camel riding some years ago on a holiday in Tunisia, but in the end we went for it and I'm so glad we did - definitely an experience!

[@kaesinfinitelibrary]

I just got done teaching our Ancient Egypt unit so this video came at a perfect time! 23:05 I SHOWED MY CLASS A VIDEO OF PAPYRUS MAKING IN THAT SAME LOCATION!!!

[@TheGardenBindery]

I love a good travel vlog! It was cool watching her make papyrus

[@emmapowick]

The pyramids are the only wonder of the ancient world still standing

[@BeccaandTheBooks]

I know this now, but at the time I didn’t realise there was one more than one set of seven wonders 😂

[@emmapowick]

​@@BeccaandTheBooksi guess technically you can say you've seen all of the ancient world's wonders now! Also sorry for the stomach issues as someone who suffers stomach issues and anxiety I know how it can become a vicious circle of one causing the other especially when lack of sleep is thrown into the mix.

[@Angela41541]

the synopsys of "what the river knows" reminds me so much of this paperback historical romance i secretly read as a child xD but seriously, it's eerily similar. like me, suspiciously narrowing my eyes, level of similar. i think it was called desert song or smth

[@AbiofPellinor]

Honestly this looks so damn amazing and I am *so* jealous!

[@BookishRaider]

The dress you wore on the final day is adorable

[@dg9531]

I really enjoyed What the River Knows and am looking forward to the sequel.

[@autumnritchie1473]

Beautiful trip!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@Derys2001]

Great video, me only just realising you live in Manchester 🥰

[@just_bea_weird]

How did I not see the "free book" stall at that lunch place? Were they distracting us with ice cream at the time? Bad booktuber 😂

[@wisecraic]

It's okay, Bea! They were all religious books ❤ I looked through.

[@just_bea_weird]

@wisecraic 😂

[@BeccaandTheBooks]

I noticed this and was very disappointed

[@ritabilal2531]

Just what I need right now!

[@max-reads]

The Great pyramid of Giza is the only Wonder of the ancient world that is still standing! The other seven wonders are of the modern world

[@deliafavara9470]

😻😻😻

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

Riding a camel would be so cool 😱

[@jessicaking3065]

Are you doing a Trova Trip for China?

[@ladylovesteadreads]

How does riding a camel compare to riding a horse?

[@BeccaandTheBooks]

In my experience the camels are quite a bit taller and they feel narrower although I suppose it depends on the breed of horse and camel. The rhythm feels similar though

[@ladylovesteadreads]

@@BeccaandTheBooks cool!
