Hi, Sockentheater.Prima name btw😁 vielleicht holst du dir nen kleinen 50er scooter zum Rumfahren? Den kannst Du mit deinem normalen KFZ schein fahren.

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.

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.

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.

You really captured the stress of being in a time crunch, and your editing made all of those frenetic moments seamless.

[@chrisjpritchard]

I enjoy the engaging moments with people. Talking to people understanding their struggles and how they survive would definitely add another layer of interest.

[@aromaticsnail]

Oh Noraly you just put a big smile on my face😊 I lived in Angola for a few years and so far the interactions with the Angolan people just took me back in time! Happy accident you get to ride from Soyo, the landscapes in the northern provinces are beautiful. It's unfortunate you're not going to the other Southern African countries but it was kind of expected since you've been there already! Safe travels🇦🇴

[@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❤

[@davidphillips7255]

In terms of capability Noraly truly is a superwoman. I don't think any of us mere mortals could have pulled this off.

[@Jungl3B0b]

Thats a Fact! 😊

[@ChrisMolo-c7z]

scary, stressful just watching! true I would be crying 🥲

[@darylkanofski9327]

I stumbled across Itchy Boots channel about 3 yrs ago and have watched ever since

[@patrickpritchard8301]

Sometimes life is just a pain.We all have one of those days.Of course Noraly does it with her ususal flair, good humor and flahing theat trademark brilliant smile!

[@tayeade5066]

You amaze me with your positive attitude in difficult situations and you usually pull through. Noraly, you an epitome of strength and hope, keep the fire burning. I am waiting to ride with you once again in your next video.😊

[@papajeff5486]

Noraly, I think you are a world ambassador, a celebrity. You always seem to get personal attention/help that comes in a timely way, kind and generous. Maybe your beautiful smile puts a spell on people…Heh, heh, they just can’t help themselves. I am so glad. Your safety and wellbeing put me on the edge of my chair and take my breath away. I shake my head hoping, hoping, hoping that you will always be okay. Thank you for sharing, from East Tennessee.

[@daisylu1973]

Send her your Blessings, Best Wishes & Happy Thoughts ❤

[@pleasecalledmeAzie]

After all that happen u just still managed to put a smile into ur face…u just change my perspective of the world n life

[@Samuel-c2w1j]

The port staff's banter slightly increased Noraly's stress level, but after getting her realizing that she had received great help at the best possible moment, the man had a lifetime moment of basking in the glow of Noraly's famous smile. Noraly, you still glowed so beautifully at the end of wrapping up.

[@maxinee1267]

Your tenacity never wavers and your adventure can be hectic at times. but it is what keeps us all coming to see what is next. I love your big smiles when things are going well and you take the ups and downs in stide. You Rock!

[@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. 👌🏼❤️

[@ewetho]

Itchy Boots going through hell just for fun! What an adventure! Thanks for bringing us along!! Just wow, amazing what you have accomplished!!!

[@universaltutelage]

She’s not going through hell please! She’s going through Africa!

[@jasonzerbini2375]

She did go to Hell in S5 Eps23 🤣🤣

[@2023Red]

This is one your best Itchy! An old Army expression is to eat when you can eat because you just never know when you have the opportunity to eat again.

[@MOMO41837]

I had tears of joy running down my face when you made the ferry!

[@joabpetersen7699]

Hi from Denmark....... I was sitting here glued to the computer excited to see how you got it all done 'exciting,

[@WillysPerformanceCycleCtr]

It’s great that you made that ferry! Very good that you made it to Angola and bypassed the DRC. The hotel search had to frustrating, but you found a nice place. Ride safe Noraly!

[@masskilla469]

I love how you get all amped up and the anxiety starts peeking and when it works out your Face is Priceless with relief!! I did a lot of Traveling like this across the world when I was younger. 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.

[@lenfordsoocka5067]

Good times

[@masskilla469]

Yes it was one of the best times of my life and something i will never forget. Making my way through Europe was really awesome especially finding out about youth Hostels and how they were coed. The people I met along the way and The Girls were amazing. It was so different then the United States. Yes there were some really dangerous encounters along the way but I kept a positive attitude and when i got that feeling that something was just not right I listened to it. But in General there was more good then Bad and did not go with the attitude I am from America LOL. Sometimes I think how much different it would of been if I had technology of today like GPS cell phone and internet LOL.@@lenfordsoocka5067

[@masskilla469]

If I had the Gear Itchy Boots does like GPS and Cell Phone it would of been a totally different experience for me. I had to rely on a compass and Maps that were so outdated and many of the roads today did not exist back then had to ride on dirt roads and sometimes there were no roads at all LOL@@Ironfurnaceroom

[@bcbg1977]

I am one of your follower, I was born in DR 🇨🇩 ,lived in South Africa, and now I am in Canada. DR Congo has a lot of provinces that are very safe for you to ride your bike . If you can ride in West Africa. I am sure you can do it in my beloved country . War in DR Congo is in East and caused by Rwanda. We are not violent people. I am a traveler too. And a big fan of your journey.

[@herveyav428]

I totally agree

[@jonam7589]

Happy Valentines! Knowing Spanish was a big help in a Portuguese speaking country! You are so amazing! I was sweating just watching you and praying for you on this Ash Wednesday! Dutch determination!

[@jonam7589]

Thanks! Glad she did! I knew she knew spanish, so i thought she could understand due to the similarity to spanish! I guess, she only needs to work on her German!@@manuforti-jo9nl

[@prabhjitsingh5536]

Another Country, another welcome exclaimed with gusto !! Amazing tolerance for red tapism on international borders and superhuman efforts to board the ferry , you never fail to amaze n inspire us Noraly. Apart from half a dozen languages that you have in your vacubbalary , I'm sure there would be a whole lot of currencies as souvenirs in your collection, if you fancy one , that is. Wow !! As an avid viewer of Itchy boots vlogs , i appreciate the hard work you put in to create them. Its no easy task and it reflects your passion for what you do. Best wishes and prayers for you Noraly , ride safe !!!

[@skyepilotte11]

Truly ...Noraly, you're just one awesome lady and ambassador.

[@ianflindt]

Extraordinary cheerful determination and resolve. Far more gripping to watch than a movie, primarily because it’s real life!

[@billhansen3211]

Very good episode. I have traveled across Africa several times using public transportation. Both the challenges and the kindness of people brought back good memories for me. Thank you.

[@TravelDay_ID]

Itchy Boots is always a challenging journey, always be careful on every journey, I hope you always have a safe journey

[@philtucker1224]

An unusually reactive day today for our heroine Noraly, bouncing from point to point like in a pinball machine! However she showed her “metal” as always and survived another day. Wow this lady is tough!

[@StudioFiaVisserGrafischontwerp]

It's unbelievable how you go past all these obstacles. I learn a lot from you. You are an inspiration to me. Have a good trip Noraly... Groeten uit the Netherlands.

[@haroldcrook4055]

Wow! It's amazing your mind didn't explode. You have a multitude lifting you up in Spirit.

[@wfkorf1993]

Het is elke keer weer genieten van je avonturen Noraly.

[@fedde2104]

Dat is het zeker , wel wat trots op deze landgenote

[@mikek6726]

Zeker weten!

[@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😎

[@francois.stevenganaye5794]

Fantastic you visited Central African Republic(CAR) I was there from Nov 2023 to April 2024 . I could have invite you to visit Kingston-Diaspora Medical Center ( KDMC). Congratulations !

[@walkerxcahill]

I've been watching your videos for quite some time, They are excellent! After watching this I started planning a trip across Southern Africa. I love how you plan everything and how you face the challenges on the road. You probably make an impact in a lot of people's lives. Thanks for your channel and i will wait for the next episode!
