How will I get around the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC)?? 🇨🇩 [S7-E82]

In this video, I am trying to find a way to get around the DRC - via the Angolan enclave called Cabinda. But, due to a broken crane, I can't take the normal ferry and have to take the cargo boat. However that boat doesn't run on a schedule and only goes if enough cargo is booked for it. Because of that, it often doesn't run for two weeks. I am very anxious to get out of Cabinda and do not want to risk getting stuck there for two weeks...

Also mehr abenteuer für wenig Geld geht nicht! ich habe seit über 20 Jahren kein auto mehr und nutze Carsharing. Mache praktisch alles was geht mit der Piaggio. Da das Helmfach riesig ist is es prima zum Einkaufen. Vielleicht kommst du ja noch auf dem´n Geschmack.

There were lots of delays due to the landing berth at Soyo required dredging and a floating pontoon. I'm so glad to see this service between Cabinda and Luanda finally fully operational.

I dunno mate. When in these situations you just deal with the issues as they present themselves. One problem is replaced by the next and you just deal with them. Travel like this is a very ‘immediate’ thing. I sailed the Atlantic a few times and you can go from plain sailing, all is right with the world, to ripped sails, squalls and risk of collision with huge ships in the dark in a matter of moments. Just navigate the path as it unfolds before you.

She shows us all by example, how we can all just get along, and too, we can stick to our knowing what is right in a GOOD WAY! Even when frustrated, she keeps forging ahead, looking for any and all possible solutions. Never quit, just keep plugging. Something or someone will always show us the way, and help if we let them:) This example is so needed in our world today. An open heart is the place to start and a happy nature.

I started at 17 going across The United States from California to New York. From New York I took a Ship to Spain and made my way across Europe through Ukraine to Russia then Through Kazakhstan into Mongolia and worked my way through China on my way to Thailand. Then from Thailand made my way all the way until I reached Singapore. It took me 2 year and 5 months and I gave my Motorcycle away to a friend I met in Singapore who was making his way to Europe. When he returned to The United States he gave my Motorcycle back to me when he Arrived at my House in California. I would love to do it again but unfortunately I am 58 years Old now and Disabled from a serious work related accident. Back when I did this there was no GPS Cell Phones or Internet and it was one hell of a adventure especially Traveling through Ukraine Russia and Kazakhstan. I think I made it through them because I was so Young and did not really pose as a threat LOL. But Kazakhstan was some serious Beautiful Country but some places were really Dangerous. When I hit the Russian Border I spent two days in a holding cell and questioned for hours even though I had my Visa. It was during The Cold War but when they realized I was just a wide eyed Teenager looking for adventure they gave me the proper papers to pass through to Kazakhstan.

Now that I'm through with all your episodes, I caught up to the actual one. By the way, your summary of season 6 when you arrive in Deadhorse is a masterpiece. Hats off!

[@jasonzerbini2375]

I have lost track of how many times I have watched the "MOVIE". Incredible, just incredible

[@lilyvarela1459]

Sólo hacen 2 meses que me he suscripto, fue cuando youtube me recomendó un video y ya no puedo dejar de verlos, ya miré 145 videos, son impresionantes!, todos tienen esa adrenalina que se va creando con momentos de miedo y de alegría, de paz y de pura naturaleza, estás cumpliendo mi sueño, esos lugares maravillosos que nunca podré conocer, África ahora y antes, India y otros destinos, imágenes tan bellas que no se borrarán de mi mente, algo que destaco es que no te enojas, aún en las peores circunstancias, siempre con una sonrisa, eres de otro mundo! Ahora estoy mirando la playlist de Patagonia hacia el sur, no puedo creer que has estado muy cerca de mí, en Buenos Aires!

[@ComputerGeekOnTwoWheels]

Yes Noraly, someone important is crossing the boarder. It's you...

[@Ironfurnaceroom]

ha ha, I thought the same thing:) Her humility is excellent!

[@andrewharris1837]

Only your positive attitude with laughs & smiles with multi language skills has carried you so far across the whole African continent on a motorbike.amazing 😅

[@cheyjan330]

Her positive attitude and language skills have carried her for the last 4 + + years and through many continents and countries. If you haven't yet done do, start on Season 1, Episode 1, then you will see her entire whole adventure. She is amazing!!

[@cmackscott761]

Excellent production. Better entertainment and education than 99% of what Hollywood delivers.

[@SBoots29]

All I can say is WOW! Just WOW! You rock Noraly.

[@UDPride]

One of the most chaotic days since the mud pits -- a different kind of stress where its about communication getting lost in translation, oblivious what gates to enter, whom to talk to, who can pull the strings, etc. More like urban jungle chaos. I dont know how you go with the flow and take it all in stride but you're a ROCK STAR.

[@glorisol3805]

You are incapable of producing a dull boring video, you always manage to make great content with the key elements of suspense that keep us glued to the screen and wondering… What is going to happen next? Will she be ok?

[@mareesamson7474]

Oh my gosh, we took that exact same cargo boat (Secil Maritima) with our overland 4x4 (their offices are not at the main port building in Cabinda, but they are in the main building in Soyo)) super nice guys on the boat. We came from Soyo to Cabinda after waiting a few days, then suddenly big rush! We also sat in that little office waiting for someone to release our vehicle on the Cabinda side, as we didn't realise we had to go to another office in town. Lou helped us so much as we met him at the port in Soyo 2 days before sailing, and he gave us his number and messaged us when the boat was leaving, as the boat crew are really the ones who know the sailing times. Super super nice guy. I have Lou's number if anyone else needs it! We were also the only passengers. I am so excited to watch your journey. Make sure you go out to red rocks (Canyon) when you get further south. Shame you cannot camp out there as it is stunning at sunset and sunrise., but a nice manageable ride on Alaska. There are so many incredible wild camping spots in Angola. Check out the ship wrecks on the coast as you head south. There are great view points from cliff tops along the way, and nice picnic camping spots. Also Calendula Falls is beautiful and a wonderful scenic drive with lots of stunning Baobab trees along the way. I am amazed you managed to talk to us whilst racing around in a rush and stressed out. Soyo is such a busy port town too and we had to wait for ages in the hot sun for the ATM as no one would change our US$!

[@joelb740]

You're spot on with Red Rocks canyon. I took the ferry...

[@officialwildcardadventures]

Sigh. 😍 She's my hero. Her strength, resolve and passion for adventure are unparalleled. Ride Safe Noraly. Paint up, rubber down, knees in the breeze.

[@OperadorBR]

Me impressionou 2x. Primeiro por estar viajando sozinha de moto pela Africa e agora por falar português! Tá de parabéns!

[@marcioalima]

Brava demais!

[@WhiteTiger333]

Wow - as always, bad news, good news, bad news, good news. I was hopping around in my seat during the entire episode, biting my nails, urging Alaska forward, looking for open manhole covers in the dark, and being riveted by it all. And how aggravating, as well as delightfully whimsical, that the official who guided you onto the ferry was pulling your leg the entire time. I hope he gets to see this video. Thank you, sir, for helping Noraly - even if you had a joke going. 😄

[@jesper1406]

Dear Norely, (or "Not really", as my wife pronounce it 😅), you have my absolute greatest respect. I have travelled for many years, and I am now living in Portugal. Coming from Denmark, I simply hate bureaucracy, and get too annoyed dealing with it, as I grow older. My wife comes from a war ridden land, and has experienced more than her fair share of war related crimes and brutal violence against her people, so she will only accept that we travel inside the EU these days. I get my wanderlust for more exotic places satisfied through you. I couldn't do half of what you're doing, though! You're absolutely amazing!!!😮

[@Ironfurnaceroom]

May I ask where your lady is from?

[@mike.47]

I never doubted for a moment that Noraly could miss the ferry. When all the stars are aligned, good things happen to good people. 👌🏼❤️

[@mwenengofero]

I hope you make it to the DRC one day. Beautiful country and the people are very warm and welcoming.

[@coconuciferanuts339]

Noraly says the next part(pause with thought)could be a little tricky. Ha,ha.Another stupendous understatement from our intepid adventurer. GooD LucK Noraly.

[@greatngugi8150]

Can't wait for the journey through East Africa... mostly Kenya🇰🇪

[@Mi_Li_Ro]

I first saw your video from the river near Afghanistan (this appeared in the ytb list of recommendations to see) and I really liked your travel style, filming and editing style so I decided to take it from your first video to see them all, but I also see in parallel what you are currently posting. I admire your courage to travel through such a tense country as Nigeria. please forgive my language, but you have bigger balls than many men. I appreciate your positivism. good luck in the future, good roads without unpleasant events and with wonderful landscapes.

Noraly you're just amazing... after all you've already went through. The way you still hang on and continue despite the challenges... speaking english, french, spanish, portugese, dutch, ... smiling to everyone on your path is such a pleasure to see. Good luck for the following adventures!

[@benjamincresswell3713]

Happy Valentine's Day Noraly. This video was Just fine. It captured a very important aspect of a foreigner negotiating with the local culture while offering a glimpse of the logistics involved in getting from one place to another. There was some scenery of the exact area, so it was very well worth it. And Noraly, you are what makes your videos. It's so great to see YOU and hear your personality. Thank you ! ben/ michigan

[@LuisRuiz-lo5rc]

Noraly You have been able to overcome all the adversities to arrive to your destination. It's incredible your ability to convince people that you haven't met in your life to help and guide you. Eventually you are going to have to take Alaska to a mechanic and have her checked out. May your journey be pleasant through Angola. Keep safe.

[@TracyUhiara]

I'm proud of you Noraly, being a woman you make me super, super proud. Your bravery is astonishing 😮 I have subscribed of course ,I have started going through all your videos You make women proud !!! 😊

[@jesseruzige2813]

Hi Noraly, I think you should let people know that if they want to be Traveller first thing to learn is not filming gadgets, drones flying and all that but languages! I like when you switch from English to Portugues, French then Spanish etc. You have no language barrier I can't understand how long it took you to learn all these languages, but you are good at speaking. This channel has been my new addiction. Can wait for the next episode! Much love from Tz.

[@nomoreblahblah]

I was almost certain this episode was going to be a cliffhanger with Noraly frantically riding around on Alaska looking for a hotel room to stay the night. Thanks to the heavens I was not correct. The people working at the ferry ticketing area looked kindly upon Noraly. Excellent episode cool😎

[@ewetho]

[@bajaborracho9139]

Noraly your ability to navigate these roads and people and cultures and languages all at the same time is just something to behold. Somehow i cannot imagine another person on earth who could pull it off! Stay safe Noraly we love you! HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY❤

[@SeaDarer]

Noraly, your editing skills are impressive. It takes a lot of concerted effort to make the timing of the changes between the various cameras on a timely basis, and you seem to do it flawlessly. Almost like you have a back channel review team co-ordinating it all, but it seems more likely that you're all up to the task. To repeat: "Impressive!"

[@SilverfilmHungary]

Hi Noraly! I'm from Hungary. I am 67 years old filmmaker and rider. All my respect to you! I watch your channel all the time and am excited along the way with you. I have two motorcycle, one BMW K75RT (740 ccm) and a Simson Schwalbe (50 ccm). A couple of years ago, I rode the Simson (50 ccm) from Hungary to Germany in two days, I went to Suhl, the birthplace of my motorcycle. I like to ride motorcycles, but I will never be as brave as you.

[@Bulletguy07]

You made a wise decision avoiding the DRC as only yesterday I viewed a YT video from a young American vlogger who went there and he was subjected to a barrage of bribes and constantly hassled to stop filming. Even children stuck their hands out demanding "give me money". Corruption is off the scale. Stay safe Noraly. 💗
