Caught in a sandstorm in Namibia 🇳🇦 [S5 - Eps. 49]

[@patrickpritchard8301]

I think that one day the Itchy Boots Ride will be a priceless historical document. When people wish to learn what life, society and nature was like in the early 2000's Noraly's unique perspective will entertain,enthral and educate future generations. An Epic Ride for the ages!

I am from Walvis Bay but have lived most part of my life in the Namib Desert in the Topnaar Community, I schooled at Utuseb and I can never thank my parents enough for having send me away to go to school at Utuseb. Being someone who loves nature, the years I have spend in the Namib desert are the best years of my life. I miss the good times when climbing the dunes and swimming in the kuiseb river when it flowed. At the same time I miss walking across the vast plan land, climbing the mountains. I miss the times we could go and search for the Nara fruit along the kuiseb river. I am glad I could see the Gobabeb Research Centre, in all I miss my childhood and I am glad you cloud make me feel at home again.🙏♥️

Amazing. And the map says that Utuseb is 40km/25 miles from Walvis Bay.

@@srinivas3358 what do you mean

[@tuwilikaelias9664]

@@dirk140 Very true and infact beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. I am here smiling as I read your text. Namibia is very diverse when it come to landscape, the wild animals as well as the plants, I grew up seeing the welwitchia maribilis plant and I feel privilege for that. I always feel a sense of belonging and happiness when I walk through the forest in the village or when I walk barefoot in the incredibly soft sand of the desert or when the sea wash over my feet as I stroll along the beach in Walvis, Lang strand , Swakop or Henties. Just like you said, when you experience that, that’s when you know you are HOME. I am only 28 years now and my dream is to own a traveling van so that I can travel and basically live on the road traveling the whole of Namibia and Africa as I would love to explore all 54 countries in my life time. I am crazy about traveling and would also love to travel to Pakistan, Afghanistan, Yemen, Syria, and so many other countries less travels too.

[@sunkenindeaf]

When I started to follow Itchy Boots back in 2019, used to respond like an anxious grandparent would do ("oh dear, be careful now, not too close to the ridge"), even crossing fingers and knocking on wood as if it would help Noraly to drive safe. When the African journey started, realised that I'm not worried anymore. Oh no. She's the desert queen, she can do anythin'. Long may you ride, dear Noraly. Roam, float, flit - as you wish. Your joy is my/our joy. Smiling and waving from Istanbul.

[@brucehumphrey7446]

Wonderful video - as always. Very nostalgic for me as I spent 6 months at Gobabeb in 1986 and stayed in the small square cottage next to where you stayed. I am a retired Geomorphologist and an motorcyclist for 56 years now. Did my first long distance "adventure" trip in 1969 on an old BSA 350. My wife and I still ride and explore, she has a Yamaha XT250 and I have a Yamaha XT660. We have been following you for years, and my wife gets very nervous when you are doing really bad roads. She left fingerprints on my leg she was so nervous when you went up Sani Pass!! All the best, Bruce & Caroline.

My dad, who was a pilot, used to say "there is no shame in a 180 degree turn", if it keeps you out of a forseeably dangerous situation. I was glad to see you do that when the sandstorm kicked up.

Whenever I travel, I try to leave just before sunrise. Really nothing better than being on the road just after the sun comes up, so I particularly enjoyed your early morning start. I was surprised when you rode past the research station as it just seemed like exactly the sort of place you would pop on into and end up taking the day's journey in an entirely different direction. So I had quite a chuckle when you found you had to turn back. Very glad you didn't try and tough it out through the sandstorm. Professional, interesting, educational, entertaining and just downright beautiful. Your work just keeps getting better.

[@shrabonibabu]

Good you quickly decided not to try moving through the sandstorms. My desert experience in oman says it is very risky indeed. I am with you since KZbin algorithm connected us.

Don't believe for a second that Noraly's videos are adventure motorcycling. They are introductions to world geography and geology. I follow each day on a map and it helps me wonder at the differences and simularities to the desert near my home in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Thank you, Ms. Schonmaker for sharing your Itchy Boots.

There she is!! The sunrise with the moon and stars ... its great getting out early having no one on the road. Normal in Namibia, not always the case in Europe. Youre thinking so much on that apple pie you forget where you're going .... must be some good pie... the sign of capricorn ... true position ... details details, love it. Getting sand blasted, how do your air filters look like when you replace them ... great music, shadow riding, mirror scenery reflection ... always great features ... That's Noraly, time to eat her apple pie lunch she finds a picnic spot where there is nothing in a 150 mile radius. What a sight again, Drony is out again ... what a landscape. Suggestion-Maybe by the next garage stop take a small bag of standard screws when hitting the bumpy trails. Remember the tightening up job the guys at the diamond camp did for you. Good call avoiding the sand storm. How can a group of isolated scientists say 'no' to you ... happiness is when you're in a dried up river bed full of rocks ... great music with Drony following you, a little spec in that huge desert. what a great looking bay town ... Ride careful, stay safe ...

In fact I just crossed the tropic of capricorn on another adventure which will take me to the top of my country then down through the middle of it over two deserts. I have now detected a change in Noraly in a way that tells me she is becoming more confident in dealing with her surroundings which is good to see.
