I have no choice but to take my loss on this one.. [S7-E107]

The rains in Africa continue to chase me around and on top of that, I accidentally left my rain jacket behind at the place that I stayed. The risk of falling down and breaking something in the process, while going back down that slippery trail had me decide not to go back for it. The ride continues!

[@emmanuelochieke1645]

And you all from the USA, Canada, and elsewhere, commenting are very sorely, politically-correct, missing the point. What is the point? The point is that Noraly's very hardcore, unforgiving African adventure showcasing the intensive and extensive infrastructural decay and the entrenched lack of development brings out the hospitable nature of its people, always willing to lending a helping hand, especially to foreigners. Noraly enjoyed that privilege. Equally, every retrogression, poverty, wars, disease, etc that is shown in the news about Africa is correct, and just as valid as the Noraly positive outlook in life depicting suffering and smiling, and hope for the future. So, in a nutshell, there is no contradiction between the news media reporting and the Noraly scenic journey and experiment about Africa. Noraly concluded this video by showing where she is lodging with a "broken faucet, no running water" in a region obviously blessed with abundant "heavy rainfalls," as she said, plenty of rivers and lakes? How is that a positive thing about "Africa?" How many Americans or Canadians would have tolerated that type of service, broken faucets, no running water, in their own respective countries, in any hotel or motel? But that is typical (West) Africa for you - where running water is gold.

I don’t know that I have ever watched any series for so many episodes in a row. And I keep coming back for more!

[@GertjanZwiggelaar-mo4tz]

I started watching Noraly when she began Season 6. By episode 35 I bought another bike, that was back in July, 2022. When I reflect on her amazing video series I have already watched over 50 HOURS just in Season 7. I don't recall how many episodes were in Season 6 but I'm confident in thinking there were more than 50 hours there, so, over 100 hours of Itchy Boots and I think she is my sister, I know her that well. What Noraly has achieved few will ever get close to. And, she is so very smart. Think of it, each episode is around 23 minutes, which if picked up by a national television service, her timing is perfect for commercial tell lie vision, room for commercials and announcements. In praise of Noraly Schoenmaker, the real Wonder Woman.

Thank you for going the extra mile to bring us these moments of joy!

Drone images these days are more common but clearly Noraly is so talented artistically in cinematography and that makes her aerial scenes far superior. The way they start, the cut/transition between scenes, the music, and how they end.

Thank you for riding across my country Nigeria 🇳🇬

23:01 Very interesting ! One enters the bathroom to wash and finds that surprise. 😀

Another great video by Noraly. She's earned her 2.3M subs.

@@Valkyrie57 Pretty much every biker I meet on the road when I'm out riding at some point is asked by me, 'have you ever watched ItchyBoots on KZbin?' Then I tell them how she inspired me back onto a motorcycle, back then I was 71. Since I got back on a bike I've clocked just short of 24,000 km beginning my season 3 in Alberta where more than half the year makes riding not so available due to SNOW! Not a fan of snow while I sit here every Wednesday and Sunday watching Noraly riding in places where snow tends not to go, rain not withstanding.

[@richardvervoorn6626]

Such a shame you forgetting that rain jacket. Long treks on a bike when wet and continuous rain make for an uncomfortable trip. Some spectacular drone shots over the waterfall. I’m constantly amazed at your patience and ability to get/take something positive out of a bad circumstance and making it your ‘go to’ attitude.Still following you after several years and have yet to ever be disappointed with any of your posts. You’re such a delight every Wednesday and Sunday for me in southern Ontario, Canada…❤❤❤Rick

The only channel where fast-forwarding is never required.

[@SuperchargedLlama]

I haven't watched your channel for a couple of years and coming back, the first thing that's struck me is how much more capable you are riding off road now, like it's not even a thought. Hardly surprising given your adventures, but it's brilliant to see!

[@gloryenaruvbe7799]

The drone shots are always amazing. Thank you Noraly always

[@carolak.9249]

Oh the waterfall is amazing. The drone footage ist so beautiful. Thanks for your hard works. Lovely greetings. All people at the world follow you and love you. I am enthusiastic. You unite this world.

[@Luckymizinga]

Hey Noraly, watching you from Lusaka Zambia Central Africa. You are simply amazing ❤❤❤

[@mikerapp8163]

Itchy, Don’t sweat it. I think the centipede threw off your routine. That Bridal Veil water fall is amazing. Thanks for sending out the drone. Ride safe.

[@ecttreker9816]

Over 630 videos now, and I've enjoyed everyone of them. Thanks so much Noraly, you are amazing. 👍👍

[@danielmcneil3004]

Good morning Noraly from Toronto. Always look forward to Sunday morning adventure with you. Always something interesting and unique. Spectacular drone video of the waterfalls. Thanks for the experience. Cheers and stay well, Dan ✌️🏍🇨🇦

[@brianmcdonald1776]

What a great ending to the video......keeping us all in the dark !!!!!......great stuff Noraly !!!

[@the_changing_point]

I think it was cool too, the sweetness of her voice highlighted the whole place.

[@robcroese]

Just amazing, the scenery, the beautiful waterfalls, the lake ... and then the muddy trails and never-ceasing rain. I would maybe take a day of that, but you never seem to give up or get discouraged. Then suddenly there is a modern church in the middle of nowhere and then a tall, friendly man with some food and a cup of tea. Just endless variation and places of great beauty and interest. Thanks for not giving up and allowing us to see things that are way out of reach for the average person! Luctor et emergo!

[@earthpeoplechurchforhumani9456]

AWESOME drone views around the waterfall!!! I love when you end your day by a drone shot from your bungalow porch.

Hello ❤

[@angiecerv]

The rain jacket decided to stay behind to comfort that millipede, a harmless buddy actually.. Hope you could get a new rain jacket, we don't want you getting sick anywhere (God forbid). Thank you so much Noraly for that breathtaking drone view of the twin waterfalls and dense forest too. The mist made it look more greene. Thanks. Keep safe too

[@alexkruyer]

If she got sick, it would not stop her.

[@WillysPerformanceCycleCtr]

Her loss is someone else’s gain! I only hope they appreciate finding it and use it!

[@charlesmcgowen7238]

Noraly you exude kindness and your smile is infectious. There is safety in this.

[@eidernadir320]

Beautiful images of the waterfalls and their surroundings, the slippery track, nor the rain nor traveling without a raincoat does not stop Noraly's travels or dull her smile, travel safely, take care. Good day

[@annec8871]

Friendly people, wonderful landscapes, good food... Malawi seems to be another great place to visit. Thanks Noraly !

[@BenPhillip-fw8hi]

You are very true

[@iantjasink6966]

Four reasons to go back and fetch your kit 1. The cost of the item and issue about replacing it, is often more than the trouble than to fetch it. 2. Unless the time constraint are imposing, time is generally on your side. 3. The way back is easier the second time and more so the third. 4. The battle with odds. if you don't have it you'll need it, if have it, you don't. never tempt weather and health. Reason not to fetch it - its a hassle! I'll keep watching to see how it went.

[@jasonzerbini2375]

As she was sitting there pondering whether to go back I figured she'd leave it behind.... then of course realized that was the title "no choice but to take loss". Rarely does she ever go backward. Always looking and moving forward. In this case Rev'IT gave her the jacket which looks like it had a value of around $180US on their website. Peace!

[@janoschekheldderberge3446]

Deine heutige Verabschiedung war schon etwas Aussergewöhnliches, genau so wie deine Aufnahme mit der Drohne bei schlechten Wetter. Das hatte schon was Mystisches und dann noch die Musik dazu. 👍 Das es dich erstaunt, dass die Menschen in Afrika dir so freundlich gesinnt begegnen, verwundert mich nun nicht. So freundlich und respektvoll, wie du den Menschen, egal in welchem Land, gegenüber trittst, erntest du völlig verdient diese Herzlichkeit. Hoffentlich bekommst du eine neue Regenjacke. Der Tausendfüssler war gewaltig groß. Wie oft am Tag sagst du eigentlich "Oh No"? Das hört man ja schon in deinem Intro. Andere sagen ständig irgendwelche Schimpfworte, aber noch nie habe ich so etwas von dir gehört. Kostet dich das sehr viel Überwindung? Deiner Mama gratuliere ich noch ganz herzlich zum Muttertag. ❤

[@gailtaylor1636]

Question for the others that been here for years. Sure seems to me the recent "dirt bike experience" riding the KTM has improved her ability to better use torque with a little clutch slippage on Alaska? Just seems to ride the rough section with ease now. Love seeing it. I rode woods bikes for years and really wasn't a great rider until bought 1980 Husky 250 in 1981. Was a leftover. Since all the fastest Pros rode one, knew I had no excuse. Within 6 weeks was finishing top 5 at all my races. Confidence. Confidence in the bike being able to handle anything I threw at it. It's crazy how much this game is about the mental aspect. Absolutely love seeing her get better especially considering all the weight she carries. Has to be tough.

[@knuckles-3386]

I rode a husky in the desert races in California in the 70s best dirt bike ever at the time!

[@bogey149]

I think her participation in the "Baja" and "Dinaric" rallies are the main reason for her excellent riding, and of course riding a fully laden "Alaska" with around 30hp. is a very different story to riding a light weight KTM. with probably twice the power.

[@user-qk4jc4pi7m]

Don't know how your body stays together with all the bouncing over never ending rocks. Stunning drone view of the waterfalls. 💗 always.

[@gailtaylor1636]

Combined with frequent food poisoning. I really don't know how she does it.

[@user-qk4jc4pi7m]

I googled Livingstonia mission and this Christian mission has for years provided schools, hospitals, and social services for Malawi people. It's University is highly regarded and has produced many leaders for Malawi.

[@JohnnyBeegood1]

Amazing drone views of the waterfalls. Smart routing around the elephant preserve where they attacked bikers. Elephants probably have memories of poachers riding bikes. Great episode.😄🥰❤

[@rodneymacomber6337]

What a great waterfall! All of us KZbin watches sure appreciate Noraly

[@DennisMoore17]

Noraly, It is what it is. You are a fine example of: Improvise, Adapt, and Overcome. Your attitude toward adversity is inspiring. Keep it up. And, a great lunch on the side of the road.

[@AidaJof]

You have to love Noraly🤩 You are one of a kind who takes her wins and losses the same way and moves on but every day is an adventure; whether you encounter some creatures in your tent, have a bathroom with no running water or leave your rain jacket behind but also relish the findings such as the highest waterfall in Malawi and trusting your GPS will take you through some mountain passes & jungle to deliver you to your desired destination ... WOW, WHAT A WOMAN!!! GO ITCHY BOOTS, GO ... 🏍🏍🏍
