There was one problem, I had the trots...

Anyone got any miserable travel day stories to share?
Would it have helped if you had taken the private ride ?
Alright, alright, alright. So here I am, smoothest dude on this side of security. Fresh kicks, headphones thumpin' salsa fuego, carry-on tighter than a boa constrictor. This Rio adventure was gonna be legendary. But the travel gods, man, those dudes got a twisted sense of humor.
It started with a questionable street taco. Looked good, smelled good, tasted… well, let's just say my taste buds threw a fiesta and my insides weren't invited. But hey, I'm a smooth operator, I can handle a little internal mambo. Besides, the in-flight movie was "Anaconda," so a little rumbling down under wasn't gonna scare me. NOPE. Famous last thought, my friend.
Fast forward, turbulence hits, and suddenly my gut's breakdancing with a mariachi band as its soundtrack. Every bump feels like a drum solo in my intestines. I'm lookin' at the flight attendant like, "Señorita, por favor, can you tell the pilot to chill with the sky salsa?"
But turbulence ain't got nothin' on what's brewing in my system. The bathroom becomes my throne, a porcelain palacio reeking of regret. Every time that fasten seatbelt sign comes on, I'm praying for a divine siesta from this intestinal earthquake. Meanwhile, the in-flight entertainment's all, "Explore the Amazon Rainforest!" and I'm thinkin', "Yeah, explore the rainforest erupting from my backside!"
Finally, we land in Rio. I emerge lookin' like I tangoed with a particularly grumpy toucan. This dude next to me, seasoned traveler with a knowing smirk, pats me on the back and says, "Welcome to the mile-high club, amigo. Nobody talks about it." Man, I wanted to laugh, but the thought sent shivers down my spine - the kind that weren't from the cheap plane AC.
So yeah, Rio trip didn't go as planned. My itinerary crumpled faster than a churro in a hurricane. But hey, at least I got a story, right? A story that'll be forever etched in the travel memoirs I may or may not write - with invisible ink, for sure. This whole ordeal taught me one thing: sometimes, the smoothest travel experience is just making it from Point A to Point B without becoming a human biohazard. Word to the wise. Peace.
@@essbee3433 Would have cost 7000 instead of 400 and taken the exact same time
Ah never mind then.. well.. shit happens 😅 literally!
Your very brave after your illness episode. It happened to me once I just couldn't risk eating out or was very careful. Just be careful eat safely
Most hospitable country in the world. Northern Pakistan 🇵🇰 is very beautiful. I wish I could go there as well.
Priyantha Kumara might disagree with your hospitable comment...
Most hospitable country YES you are ride MashALLAH I am from Malaysia Pakistan Zindabad
@@ProudMurtadThis is the reason why Parintha is an Indian and every Indian is taught to say bad things about Pakistan wherever he hears the praises of Pakistan.

JUST CALL IT ONE OF THOSE DAYS 😅 . WHAT A JOURNEY . I MUST SAY THOUGH , THE ACCOMMODATION IS NICE FOR THE PRICE. HOPE YOU ENJOY YOUR TRIP A HEAD.
Accommodation was worth the pain
Mark here - just adore your travel days! What a pootifull journey! x

glad you did post this mate, we wanna see it all :)
Glad you made it without keeking yourself. Happened to me on a flight from Paris to Luanda. Sat in the lavvy almost all of the way. Street food before travelling is always a gamble.
Wow that's Wonderful 👏.
Looool, Leesh's, cheeky little lines are joke! 🫣😂
She cracks some good ones
@@EllisWR She does, man! 🤧..... I always listen out for 'em, a good pair o' headphones works wonders to catch 'em! 👌🤘
MASHAALLAH
If you avoid the chutneys and water based sauces that have been made a day or more before then your risk of food poisoning decreases by over 50% . If you eat Yoghurt with/ before every meal it will help your organism to deal with heavy food ... ( bit like activia/ kefir )
Orrrr.... we could demand better standards and governance. Pakistanis, visitors, everyone in the country deserves better than what's being offered at the moment.
We eat those everyday in India aha, never once had a belly problem, that goes for the whole of Asia actually over the past 2 plus years of purely street food. Pakistan must just have extremely low hygiene sorry to say!
@@EllisWR just wait to you visit Northern India rajasthan, Punjab , bihar and U.P 🤣 .. its a similar situation. The mountain food should be better though. .
Ate absolutely everything in Punjab aswell and 0 problems! Maybe Delhi is a bad un
@@EllisWRDehli and Varanasi..be extra careful there . Amritsar food is divine. Personally, the bigger the city, the higher the risk .. on a humorous note , some of the things you say reminds me of John Richardson haha . If you go to Indian mountains, Ladakh , manali region and gangtok please make sure you get relevant official papers beforehand or they give you grief. Just North of Leh is the Nubra Valley and Hunder ..I highly recommend.. enjoying your vids, I like the style, raw and not over edited/scripted .
The views and scenery of the landscapes are unbelievably majestic man, holy smoke, its breathtaking
Welcome to Muzaffarabad... ❤ my city
I'm on bedrest due to broken leg and your videos are just mind freshing, enjoyable and lovely. Your videos made my day on bed. ❤❤luv you both
I really appreciate that thanks so much. Wish you a speedy recovery!!
@@EllisWR ❤❤
_still catching up your videos._
_good luck and enjoy pakistan._
_greetings from 🇲🇾_
I am really enjoying your videos ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Welcome to my home town ❤
Rest up Ellis and Alicia in that homely hotel. Your strength will return with all the kind people around you.
Wow those views, spectacular. Enjoy.
Anjoy your journey Bro
Thanks!!
Bravo
Cheers for watching!
I thought l was gonna die after eating street food in Thailand but we keep going back because we love it there. You know shit can happen anywhere lol . Be safe. I’m glad you did post this video because it just shows how Brave you both are.great work you guys 😁❤
Welcome brother
So sorry you felt so bad 🥹it’s not good when you have no control 😩 glad you managed and all the people you met were so thoughtful with you
The hotel room is fabulous
So glad you are staying in a nice place ❤
Was beautiful
Well come to kashmir. Best of luck
Your videos make me wanna book tickets ..😢 missing it
Hope you love kashmir its stunning and us kasmiri are very hospitable hope you enjoy lad
You need to eat a mix of rice and greenish black lentils for a few days ,you'll be back to normal .I always take Imodium with me when I go to Pakistan
Welcome to Kashmir ❤️
Welcome to Pakistan Illegally Occupied Kashmir
@@vinoheart When the people on the land fight for their freedom from tyranny, it's not called 'illegal occupation'.
Ladakh and Kashmir are illegally occupied by Modi. The Indian media keeps ignoring Ladakh protests.
Oh man. What a journey. When Alicia said there was gonna be a landslide in your pants I was actually thinking exactly the same thing at that time 😅 Crazy! Glad you made it safely without wrapping your pants! Man this looks like a beautiful part of Pakistan and also India just over the border! Really nice! I found that homestay on google maps also and the food they make there looks amazing!
Ahah it was terrible man, if the bus didn't stop at the first stop it would have been game over!!! The countryside looks gorgeous, unfortunately we spent the whole time poo ing In that nice room the both of us then left after checking out the city which was quite minging :(
9:15 iv had that feeling , worst ever. Feeling of pure helplessness
Since ur going to Sri Lanka i highly recommend trying out dishes like mutton curry rice and mutton rasam, crab curry, shirmp and calimari fried, kotthu rotti, devil chicken with fried rice.
Thanks so much, will try as much as we can!!
@@EllisWR yepp sounds good bro kotthu rotti is a must staple food of lanka. Mutton kotthu rotti especially 😋😋😋
Shhhhhh it's a secret 🙊
😂😂😂😂the trots!!! I love this haven’t heard that term in years 😍😍 nothing worse Ellis we’ve all been there but sitting in a minibus clenching your cheeks is horrendous!! You were lucking you made it there either way your dignity in tact 👌👌
Hahah thanks Nicola. The last week or so in Pakistan was just terrible for me and Alicia!
My city is Mirpur, Kashmir..
Very economical travelling from peshawar to kashmir
Love from Iran 👍🇵🇰

You can tey tea and bread for a break, and then gravy with meat and boiled rice or bread, ask for less spice,
We can eat extremely spicy food nothing in Pakistan really has much heat! Keep getting stomach bugs!
The bus driver is so likeable and unintentionally funny 😂😂😂
Bit of a character isn't he
I feel that you could have a direct Daewoo Bus from Peshawar to Rawalpindi and from Rawalpindi to Muzafarabad via Muree instead of going via Abbottabad. The road from Rawalpindi to Muzafarabad is better and dual carriage way.
We liked the mountain drive and it was faster! Plus we met our nice driver!
Happy sweet beautiful good morning 🌄 dear
"This might be the day I shit myself on a bus"..... Soz man, I proper feel for ya, I swear I do, but that cracked me up! 🤧😂
If the bus didn't stop to let people off at that first bus station that would have been game over, I had 5 minutes from the driver to run off and use the toilet. Devastating
@@EllisWR Fuckin' helllll! Maaaan, I'd be screwing, but there's sod all ya could've done..... Wellll, I'm glad ya didn't shit ya sen! 😭..... Champion! 💪
The front set is the best.but if you have manage your bags
It's great yeah!
VERY NICE VEDIO YOU BOTH LOOKS FULTIME PAKISTANI VERY NICE
I was wondering when you'd mention the runs 😊

EVERY CORNER IS FILLED WITH LOVE
I am watching your many videos. you made great video, you should go kumrat velley, Gilgit baltistan &naran also. And must go to taobat, ratti gali lake in Kashmir
I am addicted to these
Thanks so much!
Welcome!!! @@EllisWR
"There's gonna be a landslide in Ellis', pants" 🤧
RIP
@@EllisWR 🙏🙏🙏
Cracked me up also 😂
@@thorts Quality stuff! 😂
❤❤❤❤❤
Nice. I will watch this. Will you visit Mirpur Azad Kashmir too?
Unfortunately not we left because our stomachs just never settled in Pakistan after this!
@@EllisWR sorry to hear about your stomach. Hope you're fine now. I think it may help to have breaks in between Pakistani food and don't have constant heavy food as British stomach is not used to it. Also only have food from popular places with good reviews only.
@@scoobydooby4672 Thanks my friend, It's not the actual food choices but the hygiene, keep getting some dodgy stomach bugs but its all ok!
@Ellis When you use the squat type toilet do you take off your pants and shoes?
I strip fully naked first always especially when on train toilets
When you have dicky tummy you can eat plain chapati or boiled rice, and salad or fruit, and plain yogurt. Best thing to do is just eat plain boiled white rice, if you can find it.
Good idea, instead we troop on eating the same local food, can't help it
Keep cap imodium with you everywhere you go
Alternatively, we demand our government implement better standards and laws so people stop getting sick
@@ProudMurtad its not about govermnt you can get sick anytime from anything and also u should look what u are eating
How did u get into this area would u plz tell me.Is this area are free for internatiinal tourist to explore the beauty of this part of Pakistan.
Yes anyone can travel here, if heading further near line of control and India you need NOC
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Funny job application, good luck😂
Legend that driver
Hi Ellis I f you don’t mind me asking how do you afford all these trips 😮. Is it from TH-cam or are you already well off from back home. Just asking out of interest as these trips are expensive😊
We're always transparent with any questions!
We worked from age of 16-24 in England and saved up. Our trips are not that expensive as we stay in low budget hotels and eat only local food, take local bus/train etc.
All in all we spend about £300 to very maximum £600 a month living the way we do.
TH-cam has always made pennies until the last 6 months or so, now it may sometimes cover our full travel costs in a good month, on a bad month it might cover like a third of the costs!
Thanks for supporting us.

Lovely views 34:44
Nice ain't it
@@EllisWR I rate you !!! You been places , traveled bare places seen so many different cultures.
Your a true explorer
Hats of to sister Alesha 🫡
Keep it up mate ❤️
Peace & blessings
Im glad you are enjoying Pakistan & Kashmir, wishing you the very best and a memorable hospitable experience which is deep rooted in the religion of Islam and each countries own culture.
Could you kindly provide the details of your host in Kashmir Mr Bukhari to your viewers so that when we visit Kashmir we can stay at Mr Bukhari's residence....take care ...
Just found out that’s where my favourite peshwari naans come from
Ey we read that, then got there... Nobody has ever flippin heard of them!!! Outrage
Bloody hell, I hope ya recover from the shits quick sharp! I fuckin' hate that shit (literally 🌝)! The dreaded arse waterfall! 😩
ahahah, the last week of our trip was spent miserably, could not recover until we left and started eating better food again!!!!
Ahhh, man! What a shame, smh, ya last week 'n all, bloody typical, innit! 🫠..... Glad to hear you've recovered, in a new country 'n that, looking forward to the videos! 🤘
after Pakistan please visit Bangladesh you will love it
Sorry for you Ellis. Normally, I avoid meat while traveling. That's because of tape worms. Carry Eldopar always on long journey, particularly on buses
You should come to Gilgit Baltistan also
Definitely one day
Because your stomach is not Infimiliar with heavy food enjoy and stay save
The food is dirty if it's given us a bug
Hope those 💩 have subsided and you are feeling more human You made it though so well done 👍🏼 😊
That Mountain View is worth nearly having a trouser landslide though, so beautiful
The day we left Pakistan and stopped eating the food we recovered!! The views are lovely aren't they, we just cosied up in this room for a few days!
It was a funny video to watch but can imagine the stress you suffered 🤦🏻♂️
The mountain journey in the minibus was an experience not many will have. If you feel better you should call the driver & go to his home for dinner it’ll be another great experience & a memory to treasure
I will pray that you guys get a speedy recovery, i would suggest you to eat home cooked food for few days and use mineral water even for cooking food and washing plates and pans.
Try to avoid eating food from stalls,
I guess that kacha allu chart ( potato chart) which was offered free and you guys eat in the last video make your stomach more worse or it might be drinking tea made of tap water.
Thanks my friend. I don't know what it is must be some bugs from the food.
From this point on our bellies never recovered until we left PK! Needed a rest from the heavy delicious food
You need to check mirpur out
Looks lovely
Mirpur is the 1 you will feel at home
@@EllisWRLots of british expats there mate you’ll feel at home and be looked after. We’ve got a large diaspora from there
Dont travel when your are sick.Instead stay till you recover..... You should eat fiber food to heal fast... When healed then you can enjoy else cant
Unfortunately we had to travel as we had to fly soon
Im from mansehra🤧
i love u❤❤
07 in Turkey at all inclusive i had explosive diarrhea while doing my morning laps and cleared the entire pool of man women and children. I was so embarrassed I went back to bed all day. By the time evening meal came i felt better but when i arrived at the poolside restaurant they hadnt even cleaned the pool and just put tape around it. I sat next to it and had 3 courses 😂😂
F off ahaha that's awful. I'm convinced everyone has stories like this, we've had a couple of incidents can't be helped sometimes!!
😂😂😂
You need to take entamizol ds tablets to keep your stomach working in addition to imodium
Good idea
I love watching you both on your travels.
Thanks so much we really appreciate it 🙏 Have a lovely day!
Pl every time eat plan yougrat to avoid stomach problem pl one smal bowl
Hi Ellis are you returning to UK or visiting another country after Pakistan?
Another country we try to stay on the road 🙏
@@EllisWRthanks have you already left Pakistan or still there. Love from Blackburn 😊

City the best 🤣
I would call this the upset stomach toilet video.
Anyway enjoy Kashmir. I'm from Islamgargh Azad Kashmir Pakistan.brought up in Yorkshire now living in Scotland. Only drink bottle water if possible
Brother 😂 Hope you get well. Check up on a local doctor because they know the ground reality right. Get well soon ❤
eat plenty of yoghurt/lassi, that'll fix your stomach problems.
We do, can't help the bugs in some of the food we eat here unfortunately
Loving your journey through pakistan. You need to buy some tablets from a drug store, give them your symptoms and they will give you a tablet (yellow) Avoid milky foods tea is ok. Hope you get better soon
Thanks for advice!!
Sorry to laugh out loud but believe me as 46 years as an ex long distance truck driver that brought back some memories for me 😂😂
Ahah I can imagine mate you have some tales
Yeah if we ever hopefully get to meet up I’ll tell you a tale about when I took my eldest son for a week away all inclusive in the canaries ,, but not at the dining table 😂
@@retiredpainter259 Ahaha I look forward to that one
Hi Elliswr try vist jhelum City in Pakistan im from jhelum but live in England if u need any thing my brother let me know bless u and ur wife
I hear lots of Pakistani in UK are from jhelum and gujrat! Thanks so much 🙏
@EllisWR if u vist jhelum let me know brother . Jhelum is nice city and lovely ppl there

@EllisWR ok brother no problem hope u enjoy ur holidays
Hello darling 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
How are you
Next iran or Afghanistan
Non Muslim country, then another surprise country in middle east
if you are eating anything raw in pakistan you most definitely could catch a stomach bug, its that simple
What am I eating raw? We eat raw food (beef, seafood, pork) in SE Asia all the time and never once been ill so
@@EllisWR the vegetable salad was raw and i suspect that could be the source of food poisoning. coz anything cooked properly is free of bacteria, virus and other micro organisms so please avoid anything uncooked, we care about you and we dont want to see you sick in pakistan and elsewhere
Did your stomach get messed up
Yeah Pakistani food hygiene ain't the one for us
@@EllisWR it’s probably the change of water it’s happen because your not used to it.

@@EllisWR MUST OF BEEN PRETTY DAM SEVERE THEN ELLIS🤮😵🤕
Are foreigners allowed to go to Kashmir?
Yes, just need NOC to go near line of control
@@EllisWR I see, I watched all of your Pakistani vlogs, would you go to gilgit-baltistan after Kashmir?
@@usmangrw1 When weather improves!
@@EllisWR I'm watching yours and Jack Ansley travels vlogs, he's also from UK and visited Pakistan this year with his wife, do you know him?
@@usmangrw1 Yes he is a good friend of mine!
quickly approach a good doctor , to get treated , get the right medicine, becareful with foods and drinks.....seek more advice from locals, from ahmad too..
We don't take medicines just let the body do it's thing generally! Needed some clean food but just ended up carrying on eating dodgy stuff! We are recovered now 🙏🙏
That weird looking potato dish you had at night time in the street I am sure it gave you the upset stomach. A lot of local also avoid that dish.
Really aha how come?!
I think they add some kind of cream or yogurt in it and with out refrigeration it sit there no one knows long..so I always avoid it and lot of my friends as well. @@EllisWR
@@72aakhan Thanks for the info!!
Where in kashmir are you going mate.
Only Muzaffarabad as we were not fit to carry on aha had to call things off!
@@EllisWR you should have visited mirpur and also dadyal very beautiful place many of British pakistani are from there
Ellis you should avoid the local water and ice and most of all you should not be eating the local salad, i.e. cucumber, tomato lettuce 🥬
Every other country in the world we eat/drink those things, maybe Pakistan is just dodgy aha
