River crossing with motorcycle to enter SENEGAL |S7 - E26|

In this episode, I finally manage to cross the border into Senegal. But, with the previous video included, I rode 700 kilometers this day, with the river crossing at Bogué and then the hectic customs procedure at Rosso Border. I think I've never been more shattered after one day. BUT - I didn't have much choice. Due to no money (no ATMs or ways to get cash anywhere) and the customs procedure with the passe-avant, I just didn't have any choice but do it this way. As long as the plan works, it's all good in the end!

Noraly, I'm gobsmacked ... your incredible determination, resilience and stamina is next level. You're one hellova gutsy lady getting through this day ... +700 kms, heat, river crossing, borders, negotiations, language barriers, filming, feeding kids and everything else you contended with off camera. Throughout it all, you stay positive and keep smiling. Unbelievable characteristics under such trying circumstances. Respect! 🙏 Kudos to the sweet guy who took you across the river. He seemed so gentle, kind and concerned. Hope you had a fantastic, well deserved rest afterwards!

[@AidaJof]

Very well said. She genuinely cares ... she did what she could with those children on the road and with it, she builds karma💖

How you managed to navigate the border crossing in the midst of all of the Scammers in addition to the chaos that comes from the language barrier, trying to calculate the currency exchanges, figuring which import licenses you need not to mention insurance. And to top that all off….. trying to find a place to stay the night. I am in awe of your cool calm and collected manner and I am shaking my head in utter disbelief…..😊😊 Please be safe Noraly!!

I have watched for years. I believe this episode is one of the best - it is what viewers find so compelling - Noraly, alone, dealing with the language issues and individuals who may not have her bests at heart. It is very compelling. It actually made me a little uneasy, but Noraly showed her metal and made it through. Ending the video without confirming she was safe in her room was a great Hollywood cliff hanger maneuver. Big thumbs up!

[@stevenmeyer9674]

The fact you are watching this video means she made it through safely.

Out of all of your boat adventures around the world my confidence for a successful crossing was never lower. That was more of a canoe than a boat. 😬 Let’s go Senegal!

[@AidaJof]

Those are step above from dug out canoes called piragua or pirogue or piraga

[@nicelady51]

My worry was more like, "This is how to cross from one country into the next???" Worse, it didn't seem as though she had a choice. It worked out, but this trip on a whole has been a dangerous one. I cringed every time she hit sand on a paved road. A regular street bike would not have been so forgiving. The heat and the load on the bike are another issue. That can shut you down and put you in all sorts of danger. I hope conditions improve, for safety's sake 🐫🐪🐐🦂🪰🦂🪳🪱🦠🦟🦎🦧🤗

[@bridgetedwardsmentalhealth409]

Agreed Cedric. Sounds like you had quite an adventure for 6 years! Where did you go of I may ask? I also traveled overland through Africa in an old Land Rover series III. Back in 2001/2. Sadly only 11 months though. Was a truly exceptional experience! We opted for smaller border crossings where possible for these very reasons. Regardless, it was always stressful. Paperwork. Language barriers. Corruption. Money changers. Queues. Heat. Dust. No sanitation facilities. Etc. Luckily we never had a single anything stolen on the whole trip. And, never paid any bribes, not even $1. We just refused. Very trying at the time, but fun times in hindsight. Exceptional experience!
